Résumé
In June 2019, PBL organised a three-day workshop drawing on the ‘nature futures’ participatory scenario development work by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) expert group on scenarios and models. The aim was to co-create new positive scenarios on biodiversity and nature’s contributions to people with a diverse range of stakeholders and academic disciplines. This served as an opportunity to seek synergies with other biodiversity modelling groups for the production of innovative scenarios focusing on biodiversity and ecosystem services, and laid a joint roadmap for the medium and long term work. The workshop, entitled ‘Global Modelling of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services’, was organised on behalf of the former IPBES expert group on scenarios and models by its interim technical support unit based at PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency, from 24th to 26th June 2019. It was attended by 35 modelling and scenario-building experts.
