SELINA (Science for Evidence-based and sustainabLe decisIons about NAtural capital) is an EU-funded project that aims to reshape decision-making processes within the public and private sectors by improving the uptake of biodiversity, ecosystem conditions and ecosystem services information.
Through a collaboration of experts from 50 partner organizations from all 27 EU member states, Norway, Switzerland, Israel and the United Kingdom, SELINA aims to set new standards for international cooperation to promote ecosystem services and biodiversity conservation and the enhancement of ecosystem conditions.
Building on the research and existing knowledge base that has resulted from policy initiatives, such as the EU BD Strategies 2020 and 2030, IPBES, IPCC and CBD, the project will produce an evidence-based Compendium of Guidance for decision-makers of all levels.
