Widening the IPBES Tent: Stakeholder Diversity for Better Science and Policy

Stakeholders are an important part of every organization, but in IPBES, they are especially important. They are not only beneficiaries of the work, but are also active participants. Join Rob as he delves deep into why stakeholder engagement is a vital part of the IPBES DNA, and how important it is to bring into IPBES the widest possible range of voices, evidence and knowledge systems – for stronger science. You’ll hear from Flore Lafaye de Micheaux, former IPBES Stakeholder Engagement Officer; Joji Cariño, the coordinator of the International Indigenous Forum on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IIFBES); and Dr. Håkon Stokland, main organizer of the Social Sciences and Humanities Network (SSH Network).
