Press Conference: Taking Action for Nature through Strengthening the Science-Policy Interface: Lessons from EU-funded Projects, UN Convention on Biodiversity - COP 17.



One of the ways through which the EU provides strategic support for biodiversity is through funding projects that aim to provide robust scientific evidence and connect these results to policymaking. Initiatives such as CO-OP4CBD, BioAgora, RESPIN, Biodiversa+ and NetworkNature aim to provide strategic support to the biodiversity science-policy interface through developing and supporting key processes that aim to improve the connection between researchers and policymakers.
