Bridging the gap between science and decision making
iDiv’s Science-Policy work aims to bridge the gap between biodiversity research and implementation of biodiversity mangement measures. We provide scientific evidence to decision makers and inform biodiversity policy on all levels. We do this by engaging in international policy processes, dialogue with policy makers and by offering guidance for implementation of biodiversity action on the European, national and local level.
Policy impact on all levels
iDiv’s Science-Policy work spans all scales.

Biodiversity post-2020: Closing the gap between global targets and national-level implementation
To achieve global goals for biodiversity conservation, the national-level implementation must be significantly improved. National policy instruments need to precisely define effective actions and the actors responsible for implementation. Accountability needs to be ensured through systematic monitoring of progress. These recommendations are at the core of a 3-step framework proposed by an international team of scientists led by the German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv), published in the journal Conservation Letters. The authors stress the need for urgency to avoid repeating failures of past international agreements and to move to effective implementation of agreed policy targets. One mistake, in particular, should be avoided.
