• Identifying nature-based transformations towards sustainability in the Alps
  7 January 2021, by Chargée de communication

  Since its launch in June 2017, 42 researchers have been selected to join the Make Our Planet Great Again program. Among them, Ignacio Palomo, CNRS researcher hosted at the Alpine Ecology Laboratory (LECA - UMR CNRS-UGA-USMB) and coordinator of the PORTAL project which aims to identify transformative solutions based on nature to face climate change in the Alps. One of the first publications related to the project and to the work of the The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) appeared this December at the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, and describes the need to tackle climate change and the conservation of biodiversity simultaneously under the framework of the post-2020 biodiversity targets.
