The second of five lectures at Bonn University, ZEF focused on ecosystem services and climate change. Thomas Koetz opened the presentation with a description of the IBPES and its current goals. IBPES was established in 2012 with the vision of providing to the biodiversity field what IPCC provides to climate. By providing objective scientific assessments to policy makers the organization strengthens the science to policy interface. Already IBPES has identified that $577 billion in annual global food production relies on pollination, an amount which is in danger as climate change leads to a decline of global pollinator populations. Marina Kosmus from the GIZ provided a practitioner’s perspective, and demonstrated visible connections between nature and economic sectors. She presented a six step approach which assists in identifying dependencies, impacts, risks and opportunities. Souleymane Konate and Girbo Kelboro Mensuro supported the importance of ecosystem services with case studies from Côte d’Ivoire and Ethiopia, respectively.
