Partners
The project CLEVER is directly implemented by 12 participant organisations in 8 different countries, and includes a wide network of partnerships. At the EU-Horizon level, CLEVER interacts with other projects on biodiversity and ecosystem services topic. At the value chain level, CLEVER engages with key stakeholders (i.e., producers, traders, retailers, civil society, and policy makers) in co-design of the Project. Its results are amplified due to its direct links to science-policy platforms, such as the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES).
