COVID-19

 

Our work for a sustainable future continues!

The current crisis points to the need for a One Health trans-disciplinary approach towards solving today's global challenges. The Belgian Biodiversity Platform stays committed to giving scientists a powerful voice for moving beyond current approaches to emerging infectious diseases, antimicrobial resistance, climate changeand environmental degradation towards a more holistic default way of doing business.

 Following precautions set by the Belgian government and the World Health Organisation, our teams are working from home but staying connected digitally.

We have also put together COVID-19 biodiversity related resources that may be of interest. This page includes information on the activities of the platform relevant to the current COVID -19 pandemic and it's relationship with biodiversity, science-policy and human health.
