«Policy Kitchen» is a policy innovation platform developed by foraus - Swiss Forum on Foreign Policy. The platform is public and enables a broad range of thinkers from Switzerland and abroad to collaboratively solve pressing policy challenges. The best ideas are developed into high-quality Policy Recipes.

The publication on four innovative proposals on how to better protect biodiversity at the global level is out now. One of these proposal was submitted by Dr. Cornelia Krug who works at the GIUZ as Science Liaison Officer for the URPP «Global Change and Biodiversity». She proposes a «Bee Equivalent» as a headline indicator for biodiversity loss.
