The project is a consultancy contract for the EU Commission (DG Environment). The core task is to develop, in close cooperation with the client, possible options for an interface between science and policy in the field of biodiversity and ecosystem services. To this end, examples will be developed based on individual topics (e.g. bee mortality, climate adaptation), discussed with experts and possible governance approaches developed on the basis of interviews and workshops. The core results will be presented in a public report.
