To be an IPBES author, you need to be one of the very best in your field. Typically this means having decades of published research to your name. But making space for a variety of voices is at the heart of IPBES. Through its Fellowship Programme, IPBES offers exceptional early-career researchers a ‘seat at the table’. Dr. Lelani Mannetti is a Fellow on the IPBES Values Assessment, and speaks to Brit about the Fellowship as a ‘fast-forward’ mechanism.
Brit also talks to Juliette Prieur, from AXA’s Research Fund, which is making a significant financial contribution to IPBES - specifically to support the Fellowship Programme. She tells us about the importance of supporting young researchers and why an insurance company would finance biodiversity research.
