212 | Fri, 19/08/2022 | Anonymous | Major study draws on IPBES findings to analyze extinction rates in context of conservation and climate change | English (396) | A major study authored by 21 global biodiversity and climate scientist draws on IPBES findings to analyze the effects of land conservation and climate action on extinction rates in the tropics. The findings of the study show that “limiting climate change to 2°C and conserving 30% of terrestrial area could more than halve aggregate extinction risk compared with uncontrolled climate change and no increase in conserved area.” The findings were revealed at the first Davos Global Biodiversity Forum. |

Federal Environment Minister Svenja Schulze stated that she would “appreciate it if IPBES ascertained the global level of knowledge on these issues, collated the information and made it available to policymakers throughout the world. The international community has the opportunity to adopt a new global biodiversity strategy after the pandemic – and thus to show that it has learned from the pandemics of the past." |

222 | Fri, 19/08/2022 | Anonymous | Research Paper on Nature’s Contributions to Adaptation Draws on IPBES Conceptual Framework of Nature’s Contributions to People | English (396) | A research paper published in the journal “Ecosystems and People” draws on the IPBES conceptual framework of nature’s contributions to people. The paper, titled “Nature’s contribution to adaptation: insights from examples of the transformation of social-ecological systems”, concludes that the plurality of human-nature relationships included in the IPBES conceptual framework is “is needed to integrate ecosystem transformation into adaptation thinking and action while engaging a diversity of actors with differing world views.” The authors accordingly frame “the capacity of ecosystems under climate change to enable future human needs under the IPBES framework of nature’s contributions to people” and “introduce the concept of Nature’s Contribution to Adaptation (NCA) as a means to operationalise transformative adaptation, emphasising the need to create options for society to transform under ecosystem transformation.” |
