In an increasingly globalised world, various parts of supply chains interact with nature,
affecting biodiversity and ecosystems. The interplay of policies, trade and resource
management decisions connect distant places and people in complex ways. These
linkages can have significant impacts on ecosystems and biodiversity, both inside and
outside the EU. A range of interventions is needed, such as regulating wildlife trade,
promoting sustainability across global supply chains and directing finance towards
investments that safeguard biodiversity.
The PEERspectives “Exploring biodiversity and trade interactions” will identify the critical
gaps and up-to-date knowledge and data that are needed to design and efficiently
implement evidence-based policies requiring the mobilisation of different research
fields and policy sectors.
This ‘PEERspectives’ event will bring together scientists, policy-makers and stakeholders
to enhance understanding of complex policy-relevant issues at the nexus of biodiversity
and trade and stimulate collaboration between science and policy.
This event is free of charge but registration is mandatory until 14 January due to the limited number of seats.
