The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) is organizing a series of online regional dialogues on the contextualization of findings from completed IPBES assessments.
The dialogues will bring together IPBES national focal points, stakeholders and others who use or support the use of IPBES findings in policy and implementation processes. Participants will share evidence and perspectives on how assessment findings can be more effectively contextualized and applied in different policy and decision-making settings.
The discussions will explore what has worked, what has not worked, what forms of support are still needed and which practical options could strengthen the uptake, use and policy impact of IPBES assessments.
