IPBES Report on Pollinators, Pollination and Food production
The Summary for policymakers of the IPBES thematic assessment on pollination is now available.
The thematic assessment of IPBES aims to assess animal pollination as a regulating ecosystem service underpinning food production in the context of its contribution to nature's gift to people and supporting a good quality of life. To achieve this, it focuses on the role of native and managed pollinators, the status and trends of pollinators and pollinator-plant networks and pollination, drivers of change, impacts on human well-being, food production in response to pollination declines and deficits and the effectiveness of responses.
The chapters and their executive summaries of this assessment are available as document IPBES/4/INF/1/Rev.2 (www.ipbes.net). The present document is a summary for policymakers of the information
presented in these chapters.
The SPM on pollinators may be accessed/downloaded from the IPBES website.
