Webinars explaining main points of IPBES assessments

The IPBES secretariat, as part of its work on capacity-building, has launched the IPBES webinar series to provide learning resources for those involved in, or wanting to learn more about, the work of the Platform. As part of the series, we have recorded a number of webinars presenting the key findings of the Methodological Assessment of Scenarios and Models and the four Regional Assessments of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services. The webinars, presented by the Assessment co-chairs, are aimed at policymakers, practitioners, civil society organisations, students and everyone else interested in learning about the Assessments' findings. They have been created to familiarise audiences with the Assessment Reports and stimulate interest in accessing the Summaries for Policymakers (SPMs) and the full Assessment Reports. The recordings of all webinars in the series are made available as a learning resource on the IPBES website: https://www.ipbes.net/webinars, and you can access the newly released webinars directly through the links below: IPBES Regional Assessment of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services for Africa Accessible here: https://www.ipbes.net/ipbes-webinar-ipbes-regional-assessment-report-africa Presenters: Emma Archer and Luthando Dziba IPBES Regional Assessment of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services for the Americas English version Accessible here: https://www.ipbes.net/ipbes-webinar-ipbes-regional-assessment-report-americas-0 Presenter: Jake Rice Spanish version Accessible here: https://www.ipbes.net/ipbes-webinar-ipbes-regional-assessment-report-americas-spanish Presenter: Maria Elena Zaccagnini Portuguese version Accessible here: https://www.ipbes.net/ipbes-webinar-ipbes-regional-assessment-report-americas-portuguese Presenter: Cristiana Simão Seixas IPBES Regional Assessment of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services for Asia and the Pacific Accessible here: https://www.ipbes.net/ipbes-webinar-series-ipbes-regional-assessment-report-asia-pacific Presenters: Madhav Karki and Sonali Senaratna Sellamuttu IPBES Regional Assessment of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services for Europe and Central Asia Accessible here: https://www.ipbes.net/ipbes-webinar-series-ipbes-regional-assessment-report-europe-central-asia Presenters: Markus Fischer and Mark Rounsevell IPBES Methodological Assessment of Scenarios and Models of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services Accessible here: https://www.ipbes.net/ipbes-webinar-series-webinar-ipbes-methodological-assessment-scenarios-models Presenter: Simon Ferrier
