Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services

The Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), an IPCC-like science-policy platform seeks to provide a “peer review” of current scientific data that informs decision-makers of the ecological condition of our earth system, thus aiming to provide governments with "gold standard" reports for the decisive action that is required to address declines in biodiversity and ecosystems services worldwide.
