More about the book
The 'IPBES introduction for stakeholders' serves as a guide for newcomers interested in the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES). It explains the reasons for IPBES's establishment, its structure, and the roles of key components such as the Plenary of member states and the Multidisciplinary Expert Panel (MEP). The four main functions of IPBES—assessments, capacity building, knowledge generation, and policy tools—are detailed, along with how the work programme addresses these functions. The document clarifies the participation process for countries, organizations, and individual scientists within this multilateral agreement. It outlines the assessment development process from initial request to final product and introduces the various products created by IPBES up to mid-2019, including regional and global assessments on biodiversity and ecosystem services, as well as thematic assessments on pollination and land degradation. Additionally, the text is presented in Russian to assist individuals from Eastern Europe and Central Asia who may find the English-only information on the IPBES website challenging. This resource was developed as part of a capacity-building initiative by the German Federal Agency for Nature Conservation in collaboration with the German-based Institute for Biodiversity - Network.
