BiodivHealth conference on biodiversity and health | online
Organised by Biodiversa+.
28 November 2024, 09:00-13:00 CET
Join for:
- The latest research: Engage with scientists and discover how their projects fill knowledge gaps and chart a new course for understanding biodiversity’s impact on health.
- Case studies in action: Learn how projects have successfully linked science with practical applications and policy support, exemplified by the "Coronaviruses in the Wild" initiative.
- Bridging science and policy: Gain insights into how research can disseminate results through the presentation and discussion of three new Biodiversa+ policy briefs on biodiversity and health.
In December 2024, the IPBES Plenary will finalise the IPBES thematic assessment of the interlinkages among biodiversity, water, food and health (Nexus assessment). In the meantime, you may also be interested in the 2020 IPBES #PandemicsReport.

It has travelled with humans and is now a widespread invasive alien species. As the IPBES #PandemicsReport finds, the tiger mosquito can spread indirectly by trade in plants.
