Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) – 23 March 2018

Professor Andrew Church led a team of 38 researchers from 13 different countries to produce research assessing the state of the natural environment in Europe and Asia.

Four assessments were presented by expert teams to representatives of 127 governments at the plenary session of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), in Medellin, Colombia. Scrutinised and then approved by governments, the assessments will provide vital information for setting global biodiversity targets for the period after 2020.
