In this episode, we catch up with the work of IPBES experts on the values of nature. Ahead of the publication of the IPBES Values Assessment in July 2022, we explore what those values are, why we should bother trying to understand them, and how we can pull all these different perspectives together into actions to protect nature and biodiversity.
This week’s guests are Professor Patty Balvanera and David Cooper. Patty is one of the co-chairs of the IPBES Values Assessment and works at the Institute for Ecosystem and Sustainability Research, at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. David is the Deputy Executive Secretary at the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity, a global treaty that protects the diversity of life on earth.
If you want to hear more about this topic, you can also listen to episode 6 from our first season, with Brigitte Baptiste, another co-chair of the IPBES Values Assessment.
