Title of contribution (future/on hold) Exploration of a Belgian IPBES-like assessment.
Type of contribution Learning material (e.g., video, presentation, booklet, article and website), assessment
Contributing to other elements of the IPBES work programme Policy instruments, policy support tools and methodologies
Brief description of contribution In 2021, the BBPf explored the need for a Belgian IPBES-like assessment, and proposed a governance structure adapted to the Belgian context as well as the resources needed to implement this. The exercise built on the new political context and highlighted the added value compared to past and ongoing initiatives. For now, the BBPF does not have sufficient capacity to pull of the initiative, but we do hope that putting this on the agenda of policy/research institutions has increased the attention to the importance of transdisciplinary IPBES-like national assessment, to complement existing report and reinforce science-based policy support in the context of the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework and the Belgian commitments therein. We also hope to re-initiate the work once the resources/capacity allow for this, and we remain highly supported to related initiatives.
Other organizations involved in the contribution Ecosystems and Society Community of Practice, as well as national coordination bodies which include administration and agencies from federal and federated entities.
