On 10 December 2024, BioAgora and the H2020 Safeguard project held a science-policy workshop “Gaming policies for a pollinator-friendly landscape”, bringing together scientists, policy-makers and NGOs passionate about protecting pollinators and their vital role in our ecosystem.
The event, held at the Thon Hotel in Brussels, results from a collaboration between Safeguard and BioAgora and focuses on exploring a gamified approach to developing effective and acceptable policy changes for creating pollinator-friendly landscapes. Through a combination of presentations, live demonstrations and interactive gaming sessions, the event fostered a collaborative environment for exploring and discussing policy options and their potential impact on shaping a sustainable future for pollinators and the vital services they provide.
Safeguard’s “Buzzing Tables” are thematic stakeholder discussion groups that provide a forum to identify and fill in evidence gaps, afford guidance and share best practices on topics such as monitoring and managing wild pollinators, their habitats and pressures.
