Venue: Trinity Hall lecture theatre, Cambridge

The Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), sometimes referred to as the “IPCC for biodiversity”, released its first assessments in 2016, and has several others on the way. Compared to previous international assessment mechanisms on biodiversity, IPBES innovates in its ambition to integrate a great diversity of academic and non-academic knowledges, hence potentially rendering it more sensitive to the various worldviews and framings that can be found in biodiversity debates.
This two-day event starts on 18 December 2017 with an open conference at Trinity Hall's lecture theatre.
