Pakistan | https://www.gcspakistan.com | https://twitter.com/gcs_zarar | BESG Sustainability Reporting | Support to national or (sub)regional platforms or networks engaging in IPBES | Policy instruments, policy support tools and methodologies | BESG stands for "Biodiversity and Ecosystems Social Governance" which is a scoring mechanism for sustainable blue economies, applicable to Government policies, Corporate sector governance and projects. An organization/Project or governance infrastructure scoring more than 80% or working to achieve this target can be considered sustainable and other matter of financing instruments and green technologies development are automatically inculcated in it. Therefore,, I suggest to all stakeholder of IPBES to incorporate this tool in all matters of capacity-building processes to achieve the goals of SDG 14 and also make it part of the political declaration of UNOC 2022 to further its implementation through UNCLOS and ISA. It is a great concept to adopt and I hope most of the nations would support it because its implementation gives a win win situation for every one and nothing to loose with respect to Climate Change and environmental impacts. I am ready to contribute knowledge in this matter, if stakeholders are interested to further its applications and in my opinion it should be taken up before the UNOC 2022, so that some consensus among the stakeholders should be developed before this event for its approval. |

México | Exploratory study for the design of a strategy for knowledge management that increases community adaptation and resilience capacities to Climate Change in the eastern region of the State of Mexico, Mexico. | Support to communities of practice engaging in IPBES | Indigenous and local knowledge systems, Scenarios and models | From a methodological approach that integrates elements of education for comprehensive water management and for adaptation to Climate Change, with a design approach for transitions and adaptive management of socio-ecological systems. An exploratory study will be carried out through interviews with key actors (academics, members of civil society organizations, federal government officials, municipal government officials, teachers, agricultural producers and inhabitants) and surveys of middle school students (high schools and high schools) for: 1) Carry out a general survey of the current situation at the level of water security (access to drinking water in adequate quantity and quality to cover their consumption, sanitation, hygiene and health needs). 2) Carry out a general survey regarding the state of the ecosystems and their capacity to continue providing hydrological ecosystem services, on which both people and biodiversity depend. 3) Know if the organizational, management, infrastructure and knowledge resources available to the population allow it to be resilient or adapt to extreme hydrometeorological phenomena derived from Climate Change, such as drought. 4) Know the visions of the future of adults and young people regarding the ideal of community development. The results of the research will make it possible to assess current opportunities, gaps and challenges. What will allow the design of a relevant and culturally appropriate knowledge management strategy, and that facilitates the creation of capacities to increase community resilience and adaptation to Climate Change. |

Brazil | https://www.academia.edu/s/07f427bcd1 | Reframing Relationships Between Humans and the Earth: An Ecosystem Approach to Advocacy, Communication, Public Policies, Research and Teaching Programs | Activity or event (e.g., meeting, workshop, webinar, conference, article, website), Learning material (e.g., video, presentation, booklet, article and website), Larger capacity-building projects or initiatives | IPBES assessments, Policy instruments, policy support tools and methodologies, Scenarios and models | Engagement with ongoing assessments | Earth is firmly on track toward an unlivable world. After more than three decades of scientific reports and international meetings, it is clear that there is no consistent progress being made in the public and private arena towards the effective implementation of environmental objectives, in view of an integrated approach to the interrelated political-economic-socio-ecological problems worldwide. The recovery of the Earth and the recovery of mankind are complementary aspects, and must be addressed simultaneously, in space and time, for their mutual support. "Development" policies, the concept of "growth", usually associated with profit-making activities, rarely contemplates relevant aspects for the general well-fare and well-being; "progress", directed by major political and economic actors, hardly implies a change of the economic and political power asymmetries between common people and business corporations. Instead of dealing with the bubbles (segmented public policies, reduced academic formats and mass media headlines), trying to solve isolated and localized problems without addressing the general phenomenon, problems are defined and dealt with deep inside the “boiling pot”, encompassing the current “world-system” with its boundaries, structures, techno-economic paradigms, support groups, rules of legitimation, and coherence. Endurable and consistent results are not achieved by trying to integrate different competitor parts, but by the non-partition of scientific knowledge, encompassing human sciences, exact and natural sciences; all areas must be considered and validated; excellence is not obtained by the agglutination of parts, nor by the sum of isolated efforts, but by the construction of new concepts and practices to live better in a better world. Instead of taking current prospects for granted and project them into the future, the definition of desirable goals and the exploration of new paths to reach them contemplate a set of values, norms and policies that prioritizes socio-ecological objectives, human well-being, natural and built environments, the aesthetic, ethical and cultural meaning of the existence. In this ecosystem approach, spaces are opened for new allocation of meanings, instead of being trapped into pre-established problem-definitions; heuristic-hermeneutic processes develop, in the sociocultural learning niches, a capacity to ask wider questions, reframing the problems, unveiling their dynamic and complex configurations, altering definitions and ways to deal with them, encompassing public policies, advocacy, communication, research and teaching programs. Problems are defined in the four dimensions of being in the world (intimate, interactive, social and biophysical), as they combine to elicit the events and maintain or change the status quo. The objective is to open up spaces for new allocation of meanings, instead of being trapped into the path-dependency of pre-established problem-definitions and biased ways to deal with many of the problems of difficult settlement or solution in the world. |

Issues facing pollinators in Trinidad and Tobago largely stem from a lack of data, a lack of public awareness and a lack of pollinator-appropriate management. This project aims to address these challenges by engaging a broad range of stakeholders through public awareness and citizen science initiatives, identifying knowledge gaps, encouraging and supporting scientific research, facilitating collaboration and improving livelihoods, and reviewing policy. It is expected that because of these activities, knowledge and understanding of pollinators and their threats and management options among the general public increases; management of pollinators improves, particularly among food producers; a number of tools are made available to present and future generations. |

INDIA | http://nirdpr.org.in/ | CAPACITY BUILDING ON CONSERVATION AND SUSTAINABLE USE OF BIODIVERSITY AT THE PANCHAYAT LEVEL | Activity or event (e.g., meeting, workshop, webinar, conference, article, website), Larger capacity-building projects or initiatives | IPBES assessments, Policy instruments, policy support tools and methodologies, Scenarios and models | Uptake and use of approved IPBES assessments | The goal of the capacity building on "sustainable use of biodiversity" is to introduce principles and governance tools to different stakeholders of biodiversity conservation at the grassroots level, particularly for those involved in rural development and Panchayati raj systems for better governance and Use of Biodiversity at Panchayat level. The capacity building programme will be imparted as Training of Trainee (ToT) mode to the panchayat level through identified agencies like state rural development institutes (SIRDs) and non-governmental institutions. The programme is designed under the larger perspective laid down by the "Convention of Biodiversity" (CBD), the "Intergovernmental platform for biodiversity and ecosystem services" (IPBES) and the governance approaches adopted in India's Biodiversity Act 2002. As envisioned at intergovernmental levels, the linkages between the 'nature's contribution to the people' (NCP) and 'good quality of life' (GQL) have been taken as a guiding principle to develop capacity building modules for this programme. The classification of different nature's contributions under material, non-material and regulative functions of biodiversity received immense attention in science policy platforms. The ToT will effectively disseminate the knowledge and skill required for improving the governance of biodiversity and ecosystem services at the grassroots level through Panchayat Raj. It will also help to impart the socio-economic and governance dimensions of biodiversity and ecosystem services to 2.6 lakhs panchayats in India . |
