E-Learning opportunities for action on biodiversity

How can we take action for biodiversity? Fortunately, we now have plenty of learning opportunities to choose from. This blog post was inspired by our most recent ONet Caucus Day: thank you to ONet's many dedicated volunteers! This is the second in a series: scroll down for links to parts 1 and 3.

 

Learn about action for biodiversity with IPBES

• Join us at one of ONet's virtual Caucus Days. While the agenda at Caucus Days varies, they will usually include on overview of the many opportunities to take action for biodiversity with IPBES. Upcoming dates are published on the events page and in the ONet newletter. To receive the newsletter, join ONet.
   
• The summaries for policy makers of IPBES assessment reports include key messages to inform action for biodiversity.
   
• Get inspiration from the IPBES Impact Tracking Database: how have others used IPBES outputs?

You might also want to follow IPBES on YouTube, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, or Instagram. And why not help promote IPBES with a colourful background for your video conferences?
