Set up as 鈥渘etworks of expert volunteers entrusted to develop and advance the institutional knowledge, experience and objectives of 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播鈥, the Commissions enable 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 to link to cutting-edge science to advance knowledge and learning.

SAPIENS (Surveys and Perspectives Integrating Environment and Society), is a peer-reviewed, open access, multidisciplinary journal focused on integrating knowledge to promote sustainability research.

This special issue shows how knowledge drives action. It explores how the knowledge generated by the Species Survival Commission (SSC) is helping fight the global biodiversity crisis through the examples of amphibians worldwide and mammals in South-East Asia; how the debate in the Commission on Environmental Law on the so-called 鈥渘on-regression principle鈥 is pushing the boundaries of law and policy; and how the Commission on Ecosystem Management is tackling existing knowledge gaps on the status of the world鈥檚 ecosystems.

The World Commission on Protected Areas presents its work on defining and applying the new concept of 鈥渘ature-based solutions鈥 to global challenges while the Commission on Environmental, Economic and Social Policy听focuses on an emerging framework for sustainable rural development.

Last but not least, the Commission on Education and Communication looks at pathways to resilient people and a resilient planet.

鈥淭here is no question that the need for up-to-the-minute, user-friendly and comprehensive knowledge about biodiversity is greater now than it was 50 years ago when the first 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Commission, the SSC, was born,鈥 says 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Director General, Julia Marton-Lef猫vre.

鈥淲hat we also need more than ever today is to reach out beyond the conservation community, to other scientific and academic networks 鈥 and this is precisely what we are hoping to achieve through this joint publication between 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 and the Institut Veolia Environnement.鈥
