Meeting
Tenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP 10)

Research funded by the European Union contributes to international biodiversity governance in many ways. In this side event we present three such projects. The first shows how biodiversity conservation alleviates poverty in the highland regions of Asia. The second examines issues of scale in biodiversity governance. The third is helping to develop a regional science-policy interface that may provide ideas that could make IPBES more effective.
