Excited to see the #SPIBES MSc program of #CABES thriving!

It is inspiring to see this new generation of change-makers actively engaging in the #IPBES @ipbes.bsky.social mission to bridge the science-policy gap and promote biodiversity conservation, human wellbeing, and sustainable development.
The #SPIBES MSc program, a #CABES initiative, is dedicated to equipping early-career scientists with the skills to bridge the gap between science & policy and to engage in #IPBES @ipbes.bsky.social

⬇️ Our 2024 graduates engaged stakeholders early to discuss the policy relevance of their research. ⬇️
