Abstract: Let $M$ be a smooth closed orientable manifold and $mathcalP(M)$ the space of Poisson structures on $M$. We construct a Poisson bracket on $mathcalP(M)$ depending on a choice of volume form. The Hamiltonian flow of the bracket acts on $mathcalP(M)$ by volume-preserving diffeomorphism of $M$. We then define an invariant of a Poisson structure that describes fixed points of the flow equation and compute it for regular Poisson 3-manifolds, where it detects unimodularity. For unimodular Poisson structures we define a further, related Poisson bracket and show that for symplectic structures the associated invariant counting fixed points of the flow equation is given in terms of the $d{d}^{L}ambda$ and $d+d^{L}ambda$ symplectic cohomology groups defined by Tseng and Yau.
