Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥/IPBES complementarity
Since the creation of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) in 2012, Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ and the global biodiversity conservation community have gained a key partner in strengthening the science-policy interface for nature and people.
Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ and IPBES share common goals and similar priorities: undertaking authoritative assessments, generating robust knowledge inclusive of local and indigenous perspectives, supporting policy and developing capacity-building across continents, for a just world that values and conserves nature.
Meanwhile, though, Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ and IPBES have different but complementary governance structures. Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ is a union of governmental, non-governmental and indigenous peoples’ organisation members, while IPBES is a fully intergovernmental body. The ability of Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ to convene thousands of participants to its World Conservation Congress and to conduct high-level dialogues contributes to advancing new ideas and to strengthening stakeholder engagement in global biodiversity frameworks.
Jeju 2012: a clear mandate for collaboration
In Jeju, at the 2012 World Conservation Congress, Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ members mandated Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ to collaborate with IPBES through Resolutions ²¹²Ô»åÌý. Further to these decisions, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for a strategic partnership between Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ and IPBES was signed in 2016.
Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥, with the support of the government of France, provides in-kind support to IPBES Secretariat for implementing the IPBES Stakeholder Strategy. During IPBES first work programme, multiple experts from Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥â€™s Commissions, Members, and Secretariat have been involved in elaborating or reviewing the IPBES assessments. Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ knowledge products and data are leveraged to contribute to global, regional and thematic IPBES assessments.
A two-way partnership for post-2020 global framework on biodiversity
In line with the Jeju Resolutions, Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ will pursue its engagement with IPBES through IPBES second work-programme, in the context of the post-2020 global biodiversity framework. Conversely, Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ will also facilitate the up-take of IPBES deliverables in the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ constituency, sharing methodologies, policy guidance, capacity-building tools and assessment key findings among Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ members and experts.
