[ECA] IPBES Belgian Uptake event - Join us on 1 October 2018!

[hilde eggermont]

​

Dear colleague,

IPBES <http://www.ipbes.net/> is the largest endeavour to date to assess
the global state of nature and human-nature relationships. Since the
Millenium Ecosystem Assessment in 2005, scientific literature on
biodiversity and ecosystem services has quadrupled, and IPBES additionally
assesses data from many local assessments and indigenous and local
knowledge. Recently, a plenary of over 100 states has adopted four regional
assessments, generating major impact on science and policy. And this is
just the start. The global assessment, and several other thematic ones are
underway - as well as several capacity building and policy support
activities.

In Belgium, things are moving forward, and you are invited to the IPBES
Belgian Uptake event <https://www.biodiversity.be/4331/>, a one-day
opportunity to learn and discuss about IPBES, its outputs, its impact and
future work. There will be substantial focus on the Europe and Central Asia
assessment (ECA assessment <https://www.ipbes.net/assessment-reports/eca>)
and opportunities to discuss how take actions in Belgium based on its
findings. You will also learn how you can engage in IPBES and you will meet
with several Belgian IPBES experts, and the ECA assessment Co-Chair.

Presentations, panel discussions, movies and participatory sessions (see
programme <https://www.biodiversity.be/4332/>)...
​ ​
this will be exciting. We would love you to be there.
