Résumé :
|
Despite many challenges, the IPBES platform and its first work program successfully delivered knowledge syntheses on key questions regarding biodiversity and ecosystem services. The second work program of IPBES can increase its potential societal impact, by demanding that the proposed deliverables include knowledge syntheses on effective measures to reduce biodiversity loss and sustainably manage nature’s contributions to people. Wetlands are typical examples of ecosystems under pressure which globally contribute substantial nature-based solutions that help meet the Sustainable Development Goals and biodiversity conservation targets. Country delegations can ensure that the next IPBES work program inspire public, private or civil parties to act, by putting the spotlight on effective measures for change, embracing and acknowledging nature-based solutions, such as those offered by wetlands, and ensuring societal inclusiveness and engagement in the new work program.
