SCIENCE-POLICY INTERFACE FOR SUPPORTING BIODIVERSITY RESTORATION
Between 21 October and 1 November, COP16 provided an invaluable platform for biodiversity specialists, researchers, and policymakers to exchange knowledge and strengthen global cooperation. In this context, the Horizon Europe projects CO-OP4CBD, BioAgora, RESPIN, and Biodiversa+ joined forces to emphasise the critical role of the Science-Policy Interface (SPI) in shaping effective biodiversity policies under the CBD framework.
The four projects co-organized two side events at the EU Pavilion, each dedicated to advancing the integration of scientific research into biodiversity governance.
