CIB-café #9 took place on June 6, 2024 (14:00-15:00 CET). Dr. Christian Sponagel from the University of Hohenheim gave a talk about pathways to prevent biodiversity decline in agricultural landscapes. He presented four different pathways that can be considered plausible options to reduce biodiversity decline in Germany developed with CIB and the policy recommendations to deduce from these. Sixteen CIB researchers from ten different universities attended the meeting and jointly discussed issues as options to deal with dissent between expert assessments and possibilities to analyze transitions between pathways with CIB.
