Support to communities of practice engaging in IPBES Indigenous and local knowledge systems, Scenarios and models From a methodological approach that integrates elements of education for comprehensive water management and for adaptation to Climate Change, with a design approach for transitions and adaptive management of socio-ecological systems. An exploratory study will be carried out through interviews with key actors (academics, members of civil society organizations, federal government officials, municipal government officials, teachers, agricultural producers and inhabitants) and surveys of middle school students (high schools and high schools) for:

1) Carry out a general survey of the current situation at the level of water security (access to drinking water in adequate quantity and quality to cover their consumption, sanitation, hygiene and health needs).
2) Carry out a general survey regarding the state of the ecosystems and their capacity to continue providing hydrological ecosystem services, on which both people and biodiversity depend.
3) Know if the organizational, management, infrastructure and knowledge resources available to the population allow it to be resilient or adapt to extreme hydrometeorological phenomena derived from Climate Change, such as drought.
4) Know the visions of the future of adults and young people regarding the ideal of community development.

The results of the research will make it possible to assess current opportunities, gaps and challenges. What will allow the design of a relevant and culturally appropriate knowledge management strategy, and that facilitates the creation of capacities to increase community resilience and adaptation to Climate Change.

CABES is supported by the International Climate Initiative (IKI) of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV).

The goals of the CABES programme include:

Goal one: to inform national decision-making processes amongst multiple stakeholder groups including researchers, practitioners from the public and private sectors, as well as non-governmental organisations (NGOs), indigenous and local knowledge (ILK) holders, women, and IPBES National Focal Points (NFPs) in target countries.

Goal two: to establish a network of science-policy platforms to contribute to the implementation of the IPBES rolling work programmes at national, sub-regional and regional level. Sub-regional refers to countries either in West, Central or East Africa, and the regional level represents the 38 countries.

Goal three: to train early career scientists, researchers and facilitators to manage science-policy interfaces (SPIs). Finally, CABES will develop capacities to support the implementation of political decisions for the management and sustainable use of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services/Nature’s Contributions to People (BES/NCPs).

Objectives of the CABES programme
The overall project objective is to raise awareness of IPBES (www.ipbes.net) amongst multiple stakeholder groups and undertake actions towards a better representation of West, Central, and East Africa in IPBES activities as well as improved uptake of IPBES products into national policies to better conserve and sustainably use BES/NCPs. This is closely related to the main outcome of the project, targeting at science-policy-practice communities represented by researchers, practitioners from the public, private sectors, as well as NGOs, ILK holders and focal points in West, Central, and East Africa that support the national governments to engage in the IPBES rolling work programme at global level, and its implementation at the regional and national level.

In order to achieve this objective, CABES is committed to:
• Enhance the awareness about IPBES and its multiple outputs to inform national decision-making processes on the conservation and sustainable use of BES/NCPs amongst various stakeholder groups,
• Establish a network of science-policy platforms to contribute to the implementation of IPBES work programme at national, sub-regional, and regional levels across West, Central, and East Africa,
• Develop capacities of decision makers and other target groups to support the implementation of political decisions on nature-based solutions, ecosystem-based adaptation approaches and sustainable use of BES/NCPs.
• Develop capacities of decision makers and other target groups to support the implementation of political decisions on nature-based solutions, ecosystem-based adaptation approaches and sustainable use of BES/NCPs.

Objective 2 (a), 4 - A Youth workshop to strengthen the engagement of young people in the work of IPBES and to support the uptake of assessments among young people, other individuals and organisations will be organized. Footnote: The workshop will target individuals representing youth organizations (working on the issues of biodiversity and ecosystem services) that have an active voice in their community. An open call, including selection criteria, will be issued.

The idea is not to explain content to the young, but to listen to the young, to harvest their motivations, concerns and ideas to incorporate them in IPBES work. This could be done by applying nature futures. Potentially, a contribution to the nexus and tc assessments can be envisaged, also the discussion of SUB and Values assessments is an option.

Issues facing pollinators in Trinidad and Tobago largely stem from a lack of data, a lack of public awareness and a lack of pollinator-appropriate management.

This project aims to address these challenges by engaging a broad range of stakeholders through public awareness and citizen science initiatives, identifying knowledge gaps, encouraging and supporting scientific research, facilitating collaboration and improving livelihoods, and reviewing policy. It is expected that because of these activities, knowledge and understanding of pollinators and their threats and management options among the general public increases; management of pollinators improves, particularly among food producers; a number of tools are made available to present and future generations.

This series of workshops was spread through the global time zones and hosted by regional ESP representatives, but open to anybody interested in reviewing the assessment.

We were explicitly looking for expertise from members of governments, local communities and civil society who have practical, technical and/or academic knowledge.

Each of the 5 workshops consisted of a short presentation of the values assessment and the summary for policy makers; an explanation of the review process; and an interactive part where participants were able to put forward questions and comments on the different chapters. We collected the comments and questions arising during the workshops, and also pesented to participans the review mechanism so they can submit comments afterwards. 		https://www.es-partnership.org/ipbes-values-assessment-global-esp-expert-workshops/ Fri, 01/01/2021 - 00:00 Fri, 01/01/2021 - 00:00 Global Belgique (la), Colombie (la), Grèce (la), Indonésie (l'), Mexique (le), Pays-Bas (les), République de Corée (la), Afrique du Sud (l'), États-Unis d'Amérique (les) Objective 2(a): Enhanced learning and engagement, Objective 2(b): Facilitated access to expertise and information, Objective 2(c): Strengthened national and regional capacities Organization of science-policy dialogues with national focal points Support to the uptake of approved assessments and other deliverables, and encouragement of the development of communities of practice around them Encouragement of the development of science-policy platforms, networks and assessments for biodiversity and ecosystem services at the national and (sub)regional levels

Learning material (e.g., video, presentation, booklet, article and website), assessment Policy instruments, policy support tools and methodologies In 2021, the BBPf explored the need for a Belgian IPBES-like assessment, and proposed a governance structure adapted to the Belgian context as well as the resources needed to implement this. The exercise built on the new political context and highlighted the added value compared to past and ongoing initiatives. For now, the BBPF does not have sufficient capacity to pull of the initiative, but we do hope that putting this on the agenda of policy/research institutions has increased the attention to the importance of transdisciplinary IPBES-like national assessment, to complement existing report and reinforce science-based policy support in the context of the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework and the Belgian commitments therein. We also hope to re-initiate the work once the resources/capacity allow for this, and we remain highly supported to related initiatives.
