Title: IPBES Assessment Report on the Diverse Conceptualization of the Multiple Values of Nature and its Benefits (known as the “Values Assessment”)
The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) Values Assessment responds to the need to support decision-makers in understanding and accounting for the wide range of nature’s values in policy decisions in order to address the current biodiversity crisis and to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
The report is expected to be discussed and approved in the first week of July by the Plenary of IPBES, which represents almost 140 Governments seeking to strengthen the science-policy interface for biodiversity and ecosystem services.
The report will be considered at the ninth session of the IPBES Plenary (#IPBES9, 3-9 July 2022). A ‘Summary for Policymakers’ of the Report, highlighting key messages, findings and options is scheduled for a hybrid (in- person and online) media launch at IPBES headquarters, Bonn, Germany, Monday, 11 July 2022, to be webcast live (available at www.ipbes.net) at 14:00 CEST (08:00 US EDT/13:00 UK BST – check for other times worldwide here: https://bit.ly/35cFaZu).
Media accreditation for the launch will begin in May 2022. To receive the invitation to accredit, journalists and media organisations not yet on the IPBES media list should subscribe here: http://eepurl.com/hxkQgn (media only please).
Often described as the ‘IPCC for Biodiversity’, IPBES is the global science-policy body tasked with providing the best-available evidence to decision-makers, for people and nature.
