Ms. Ngo will present an introduction to the work of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), an organization established by 94 governments to strengthen science-based environmental polices. She will provide an overview of IPBES's regular Global Assessment and its impact on policy. Her lecture is titled:
IPBES: Meeting the Challenges of Biodiversity Conservation Through the Science-Policy Interface
