 Mon, 04/04/2022 Anonymous At First Nobel Prize Summit EU President Ursula von der Leyen Says IPBES Work "Essential to Build Consensus Around Our Planet's State of Health" English (396) In a video recorded message on the occasion of the First Nobel Prize Summit, held virtually from 26 to 28 April 2021, Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, outlined three reasons why, and three ways how, governments need to work with science. First, "we need science to make sense of the world around us. Second, we need science to guide us. And third, we need science to find new solutions to the challenges of our times, and to fuel innovation for a healthy planet."
On her second point the President pointed to Europe's close work with the three international panels that bring science to the table of policy-makers: IPCC for climate, IPBES for biodiversity and IRP for resources and the circular economy. "Their advice has been essential to build an international consensus around our planet's state of health. It is now time to find ways for these platforms to work better together. Because everything is connected. One health, one planet, one humanity. So we must also join up our work on climate, on biodiversity and on circularity. For a more effective multilateralism, guided by science."
