Finnish experts’ perceptions of IPBES operating principles – Synergies and tensions between the multiple evidence base and credibility, policy relevance and legitimacy
Intergovernmental science policy organizations assess and mediate knowledge for decision makers, especially their member governments. The Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) is known as a trailblazer in acknowledging plural knowledge systems because of the multiple evidence base approach it has adopted, which has challenged the older operating principles of credibility, policy relevance, and legitimacy. This paper juxtaposes those principles and the multiple evidence base to study their context-sensitive synergies and tensions, based on experts’ perceptions of IPBES operations.
