The transformative role of Research Infrastructures in supporting excellence in science and policy decision making
Session 10
Introduction to the session
Swedish ecosystems are under intensive anthropogenic pressure requiring well-coordinated and cost-effective management strategies, as well as efficient science-policy interfaces. In this process, infrastructures play a critical role - not only through provision of important data for decision making, but also by offering collaborative platforms for scientists and policymakers.
We'll use this session to bring together representatives from key infrastructures serving monitoring and management of biodiversity. Talks, posters, and discussions should focus on how these infrastructures work today and how they may interact in the future. The goal of the session is to identify important transformative actions to be implemented by infrastructure networks in the medium term, including but not limited to:
- Implementation of cost-effective and scalable services for monitoring and management of biodiversity
- Generation of critical data products and tools for biodiversity management
- Boosting performance of infrastructures through coordination, collaboration, and increased interoperability

Strategies for transformative change in focus for the session
IPBES highlights 5 complementary key strategies for transformative change: From conserving vital places to shifting values. Together these create pathways to just and sustainable futures. Learn more: IPBES Transformative Change Assessment: Chapter 5. Realizing a sustainable world for nature and people: transformative strategies, actions and roles for all
As indicated in the illustration below, session 10 applies to the strategies:
1: Conserve and regenerate places of value to nature and people.
4: Transform governance systems to be integrative, inclusive, accountable and adaptive.
