Dear all, <br>
<br>
We are pleased as follow up to our last email to let you
know that the synthesis final report of a three-year
contract with DG ENV, exploring <u>from the policy side</u>
the potential roles and options for an EU mechanism
reinforcing science-policy interfaces on biodiversity and
ecosystem services, is now available on the EU commission
website:<br>
