International research coordination: a youth perspective on DIVERSITAS

DIVERSITAS

DIVERSITAS is an international programme of biodiversity science, established to address the complex scientific questions posed by changes in biodiversity and ecosystem services and to offer science based solutions to this crisis.

For over 20 years, DIVERSITAS has acted as a principal network for scientists and researchers studying aspects of biodiversity, and has been at the forefront of development of the fields of biodiversity and ecosystem services, through several landmark publications which were also the basis for some of the conclusions made in the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (2005), and the third (2010) and fourth (2012) editions of the Global Biodiversity Outlook.

DIVERSITAS was instrumental in the establishment of the global biodiversity observing system GEO BON, and of IPBES (Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services).
