It builds on a variety of sources (literature, expert and non-expert consultations, interviews) to provide a general understanding of scenarios of biodiversity, concrete examples of their use and a directory of relevant resources to go further on the topic. Several publications of IPBES have been instrumental in this endeavor, in particular the IPBES Methodological Assessment on Scenarios and Models and its summary for policy-makers. Furthermore, valuable feedback wasgiven by members of the IPBES Task-Force on Scenarios and Models (among other academic and non-academic respondents) through an online consultation organized in the Spring of 2020. | New/changed action/initiative | Website | http://www.biodiversa.org/1816 | http://www.biodiversa.org/1816 | Science-policy scenarios and model methodologies | 2020-11-18 | Global | public | Cécile | Jacques | French Foundation for Research on Biodiversity | Secretariat Officer for BiodivScen | IPBES Observer, Stakeholder | [email protected] | ||||||||||||||
