Biodiversity Fresk

Join a fun, collaborative workshop to explore the systemic nature of biodiversity loss: what it is, what it enables, and what is causing it.

Taking part in the Biodiversity Fresk is about understanding the challenges and pressures facing biodiversity, based on IPBES reports, through a fun, collaborative and visual workshop that is accessible to all. 

The Biodiversity Fresk is led by an accredited facilitator and enables participants to explore the concept of ecosystems, their disruption and the resulting impacts, before broadening the discussion to cover biodiversity, its benefits and the factors that degrade it. 

About workshop

During 3 hours, the card-based workshop will draw on your creativity and the group’s collective intelligence to piece together the cause-and-effect relationships underlying biodiversity loss.  

A facilitator will lead discussions using descriptive cards, encourage interaction, and provide explanations and insights, with the ultimate aim of collectively developing an action plan and solutions to tackle biodiversity loss.

• See complex ecosystems and threats mapped out visually 

• Discuss and exchange ideas with peers about biodiversity through an interactive and hands-on experience
