Overview

The RESPIN project (REinforcing Science-Policy INterfaces for integrated biodiversity and climate knowledge and policies) is looking to improve the uptake of existing knowledge on biodiversity and climate in decision-making and to strengthen collaboration between IPBES and IPCC. To do so, RESPIN aims to identify gaps in the knowledge provision and develop ideas for how to improve the engagement of experts.

This analysis focus on ongoing engagement in IPBES and IPCC processes and existing capacity building activities for knowledge holders to engage with IPBES and IPCC in Europe and Central Asia.
