We have a Convention on Biological Diversity (1993), COPs (the first part of COP 15 took place in October and the second part will be held in April next year), and a body similar to the IPCC, the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services. For our purposes in the course, the IPBES is very noteworthy.
