What is PBES NL?
Welcome to PBES NL, the Dutch platform for biodiversity. We support the transfer of scientific knowledge to policy and practice, and vice versa.
The Platform for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services Netherlands (PBES NL) is your portal to biodiversity, serving scientists, policymakers, professionals and other stakeholders. We bridge the gap between science, policy and practice and support cooperation, knowledge sharing on topical issues and open access to information on biodiversity.
PBES NL, supported by the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature, and Food Quality (LNV), assists the IPBES National Focal Point. Radboud Centre for Sustainability Challenges (part of Radboud University) and SoortenNL manage the platform.
