The International Risk Governance Council (IRGC) is concerned that insufficient attention is given to the risks associated with the loss of pollination. Although it is well acknowledged within the scientific community, IRCG considers that pollination appears to be neglected by policy makers, industry (particularly the agricultural sector) and the general public. As a result IRCG believes that threats to pollination services and related risks are not adequately taken into account in policies that may affect pollinators and their habitats. The Concept Note provides a brief summary of the most relevant and urgent issues and a preliminary identification of risk governance deficits. Download copies available at the website given
