The Danish Coordination Office for IPBES 🌎

IPBES in Denmark was established in 2016 as a part of the international IPBES (Intergovernmental Sciece-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services) network consisting of 147 nations, including Denmark. The purpose of IPBES to enhance the connection between research and policy regarding biodiversity and ecosystem services.

Our purpose is to help anchor IPBES' knowledge and resources in the Danish scientific communities and politics. IPBES operates in an interdisciplinary context and involves researchers from a wide range of academic fields. From the Danish office, we strive to ensure that the knowledge generated by IPBES, including the global Assessments Reports based on the requests from the member countries, is conveyed to Danish decision makers once the conclusions have been approved. Finally, we share news and insights regarding IPBES’ activities and work results with local decision makers, our research communities, and the general Danish public.
