Denis Pesche et al., « The “Antalya Consensus”: Advances of the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) », Natures Sciences Sociétés, ID : 10670/1.a90518...
After a brief history of the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), which is operational since early 2013, our paper describes the key points of the second plenary session of IPBES held in Antalya, Turkey, in December 2013. A raft of decisions known as “Antalya consensus” has been taken by representatives of 115 states in three main areas: the work program for the next five years (2014-2018), the rules and procedures for the future development of the platform and financial and in-kind support to manage this work program. Other issues remained unresolved, including that of the importance given to non-state actors in the intergovernmental process. The third plenary session of IPBES will take place in Bonn from 12 to 17 January 2015. Among other topics, the theme of pollinators, pollination and food production is to be addressed.
