In August, a delegation of 22 young scientists and environmental advocates (half online, half on-site) from the YESS network participated in the tenth plenary of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) to take part in the global conversation on biodiversity and ecosystem protection.

The IPBES Plenary attracted scientists, experts and policymakers from across the globe to address pressing issues related to biodiversity and with a special focus on the recently-launched alien invasive species assessment. For the fifth year in a row, the YESS network, under the umbrella of ESP, sent passionate young representatives from various corners of the world to ensure that the concerns of young generations are heard and questions of intergenerational justice are considered in the discussions at IPBES.
