I know you will. In dark times it is more more important than ever to work together and forge strong collaboratios. As scientists we need to further develop cooperative ways to help each other.

“We cannot withdraw from the fact that over 1 million species of plants and animals face extinction.”

IPBES remains committed to its mandate to provide the most credible science and evidence about biodiversity to all decision makers and actors.

La comunidad científica en la interface ciencia-política tiene un papel crucial: hacer preguntas. Sobre todo aquellas cuya respuesta los decisores no saben que necesitan, o saben que no quieren saber.

In this article, just out, I argue that scientists have a crucial role in the science-policy interface: keep making questions, especially those whose answers decision-makers don't know they want to know, or know they do not want to know.
