Description

This review corresponds to the IPBES Values Assessment. The purpose of this effort was to get a deeper understanding of the connections or nexus between languages, values, and biodiversity, and the policies that exist or could be developed to support these connections. Despite the robust evidence that exists documenting the connections between linguistic and biological diversity, we identified a gap of knowledge connecting languages, values, and nature. This is relevant since Chapter 2’s mandate is to describe the diverse conceptualizations of values of biodiversity and nature, and how these are expressed, communicated and articulated in decision and policymaking. This literature review is part of stage 2 of the strategy used by Chapter 2 for searching, reviewing and incorporating multiple sources of evidence appropriate for each section and subsection. The searches were tailored to specific questions that permit to obtain a broader and deeper database to fulfill the mandate of the Scoping document. This review was done following FPIC principles.
