The picture shows the Manchester Central Venue, an old train station, in which the plenary of the Intergovernmental Panel for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services is taking place.

Thanks for the awareness on barrier-free social media!

But, wait. What is IPBES!?

The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services provides authoritative, independent scientific assessments on biodiversity and the direct and indirect benefits people enjoy from nature (called ecosystem services).

After an inspiring #IPBES12 Stakeholder Day for #CABES team members, the 12th IPBES Plenary Session has officially started with plants making music! Now on to discuss the dependencies and impacts of business on biodiversity #BizBiodiversity #ForNature @ipbes.net

A great network opportunity for researchers and practitioners, young and old, working in the field of marine ecosystems and their services!

Come join the Knowledge Exchange Network for Marine Biodiversity.

And don't forget: Youth voices matter and need to be reflected in policy-making.

congratulations!
