Working across knowledge-systems involves significant practical and philosophical challenges. IPBES has not yet found forms to deal with contrasting rationalities, ontological claims and knowledge forms. IPBES struggles to reconcile its aim to be open and collaborative with the demands set by the scientific format. IPBES seems to avoid many contested and conflict-laden issues, from restrictions of participation to ontological disagreements. The role of ILK-holders in knowledge generation is still an unresolved issue for IPBES.
