Description
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.
