Resumo(s)
Conceptions of nature and of humanity’s place within it, we argue, are the
best arena to finally confront and resolve the fundamental epistemological and
ontological divide that stands in the way of transformative change. We develop this
idea focusing on the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and
Ecosystem Services (IPBES) whose goal is ‘strengthening the science-policy interface
for biodiversity and ecosystem services’. In 2015 the IPBES created a Conceptual
Framework to support policy-makers, and different stakeholders, in their assessment
of complex interactions between the natural world and human societies. One of the
main goals of the Framework is to allow plurality, bringing together different
knowledge systems, and its particular representations of humans-nature relations. In
this chapter we explore the epistemological and ontological assumptions that lay
behind the Framework’s endeavour, aiming to contribute to strengthen its ability to
achieve such goal. First, we set out the theoretical context and the analytical tools for
a critical review the IPBES Framework; second, we expose limitations and hidden
assumptions that risk undermining the Framework’s pursuit of plurality of
knowledge; finally, we identify and discuss the conditions to create the space that
allows for effective dialogue across paradigms and knowledge systems. We conclude
arguing for the need to transcend paradigms and to embrace integral approaches
(re)connecting biodiversity conservation and humans and nature.
