HOW IS DENMARK ORGANISED TO GET ENGAGED IN IPBES
The Danish IPBES engagement is organised around two connected initiatives: the National Focal Point with the Ministry of Environment and Food (MOF) responsible for the Danish IPBES policy and diplomatic initiatives; and the National Co-ordination office - IPBES in Denmark, based at the university of Copenhagen and responsible for technical assistance to the NFP, engagement of the scientific and expert community and communication of IPBES outputs to stakeholders. In autumn 2016, three Danish universities established IPBES in Denmark: the University of Aarhus, the Southern Danish University, and the University of Copenhagen, and an agreement of cooperation with the MOF has been signed. Since then, two other universities joined IPBES in Denmark: the Roskilde University and the Danish Technical University, bringin the total number of participating universities to five.
The office of IPBES in Denmark is currently funded by the universities and operates independently but in co-operation with the MOF.

The office of IPBES in Denmark will be responsible for recruiting and nominating Danish scientists and experts to coming IPBES assessments. The official nomination to IPBES is done by the MOF.
