The Summer School’s lectures try to provide a broad view on the different issues related with the concepts of biodiversity and ecosystem services together with its operationalization. The guest lecturers bring interesting insights from a wide range of experiences, which provides a lot of food for thought and discussion during the school.
In 2015, topics covered included: introduction to ecosystem services, ecosystem services valuation, scenarios, IPBES, participatory processes, planetary boundaries, resilience, conservation, pollution, climate change and biodiversity, business perspectives on biodiversity and the science-society-policy interface.
