The Regional Youth Workshop on IPBES for Europe and Central Asia was organized by the German Federal Agency for Nature Conservation (BfN) at its International Academy for Nature Conservation Isle of Vilm. The workshop aimed to engage early-career professionals and young conservationists actively involved in work on biodiversity and ecosystem services, representing youth organizations or networks, into processes of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), as well as promoting a greater understanding and utilization of IPBES assessments.
