From 7-9 December, 2011 Germany will host a workshop in Bonn in coordination with UNEP for about 100 international experts. The workshop will prepare the 2nd session of theIPBES plenary scheduled for April 2012 and focus on theIPBES topic "policy support/policy relevance".

This topic is of particular interest from a German point of view. It is vital that the scientific results of IPBES are made available both on demand and for policy makers and thus constitute an important basis for day-to-day political decision-making. By hosting this international workshop Germany intends to proactively push an important topic and thus further contribute to the international process. The Network-forum for biodiversity research Germany (NeFo) at the Helmholtz-Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) will prepare and organise the planned workshop.
