Twenty years after the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD)
entered into force, the founding of the Intergovernmental Platform
on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) in 2012 was the
outcome of a long process of setting biodiversity issues at the top
of the global environmental agenda. With contributions from more
than a dozen well-renowned researchers in political science, law
and sociology, this book analyzes IPBES functioning and challenges
in terms of the knowledge selection process and actors involved.
The book reveals that, through its conceptual framework, IPBES
promotes a pluralistic view of nature that calls for a broadening
of the disciplinary frontiers. It combines natural science and
social science research and also includes indigenous and local
knowledge. IPBES is considered to represent the
institutionalization of a permanent knowledge assessment on
biodiversity and is often referred to as an IPCC success story,
constituting a new stage in global environmental governance. In
analyzing the knowledge selection process for IPBES decision
making, the book better situates IPBES within the biodiversity and
global governance domain. It ultimately argues that the
establishment of IPBES provides a new opportunity to coordinate the
different international conventions (CBD, RAMSAR, CITES, etc.) and
initiatives (international assessment of marine biology, scientific
programs, funding, etc.).
