EcoystemEvaluation co-funder, Agnes Zolyomi contributed as a contributing-author to the recently published full report of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) Values Assessment . The assessment aimed to provide an overview of the various values nature holds to enable decision-makers with a more complex understanding of incorporating nature to policies. The assessment highlights that the business-as-usual ruling focus and short-termism on continuous economic growth impedes the consideration of multiple values of nature in policy decisions. The full report is available here.
