Hovedinnhold

The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) are meeting in Bergen in December, with attendees from the majority of the 144 national representatives.

This provides a unique opportunity to have a conversation with IPBES to learn about the important work of IPBES and explore different roles and ways academia, NGOs and other stakeholders in Bergen could take part in the science-policy interface at local, national, and global levels.

The University of Bergen and the Norwegian climate foundation (Klimastiftelsen) are delighted to invite to an open meeting to learn about IPBES and its work, connect with likeminded people and explore different ways to (further) engage with IPBES.
