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.).

This is an open access book.Agri-food systems and forests significantly impact global climate change, they contribute to over one-third of greenhouse gas emissions, through among others deforestation and food supply chains. They are also vulnerable to climate change effects.These sectors have diverse capacities for adaptation and mitigation, which can be harnessed through aligned strategies. Food security and socio-economic issues highlight the need for climate-conscious food policies.This book examines the diversity of adaptation and mitigation strategies needed at multiple levels—genetic, agronomic, policy, trade, and finance—to transform agriculture and food systems in response to climate change. Systemic, context-specific transitions are essential, considering diverse bioclimatic and socio-economic conditions. These include evolving dominant models, shifting diets, reducing waste, and re-localizing food systems.Research plays a pivotal role in guiding transitions, and this book compiles high-quality research for informed discussions.
