European Economic and Social Committee Cites IPBES Global Assessment in Opinion on EU 2030 Biodiversity Strategy and Calls for Higher Ambition
English (396)
The IPBES Global Assessment was cited prominently in the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC)'s Opinion on the EU's 2030 Biodiversity Strategy as reason for higher levels of ambition.
"A report published in 2019 by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biological Diversity and Ecosystem Services warned of an increase in the rate of species extinction and a decline in global ecosystem health. The report also makes clear that biodiversity loss can be neither reduced nor halted without fundamental structural changes in society. The authors of the report expect the changes needed to come up against considerable opposition from those who benefit from the status quo. However, it is possible and necessary in the public interest to find a way out of this situation."
