IPBES (Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services)
An intergovernmental body established in 2012, often described as the “IPCC for biodiversity”, which assesses knowledge on biodiversity and nature’s contributions to people to inform policy decisions. Its 2019 Global Assessment and thematic reports (pollinators, sustainable use of wild species, invasive alien species, nexus, etc.) are key references.
