Harmonizing Global Biodiversity Modelling
The Inter-governmental Panel for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) has the goal of becoming for biodiversity what the IPCC is for climate. For that to happen, biodiversity monitoring must become global and standardized. Maria recently joined HarmBIO for a meeting at Trinity College, in Dublin, at the invitation of Henrique Pereira.
There are many (too many?) different ways to quantify and model biodiversity. Effective policy and adaptive management strategies in the face of global change require anticipation of future changes. Developing predictive models of global biodiversity change depends on efficient links between datasets and models, across taxa, realms and scales. HarmBio is a COST funded partnership that aims to facilitate the harmonization of current models and datasets of terrestrial, freshwater and marine biodiversity to improve the reliability of future projections of biodiversity change.
