457 Fri, 19/08/2022 Anonymous UK Prime Minister Johnson and US President Biden Look to IPBES Reports to Guide Joint Efforts to Tackle the Challenges of Climate Change, Biodiversity Loss, and Emerging Health Threats English (396) During a visit to the UK in advance of the G7 Summit, US President Biden and Prime Minister Johnson set out a global vision in a new Atlantic Charter to deepen cooperation in democracy and human rights, defense and security, science and innovation, and economic prosperity, with renewed joint efforts to tackle the challenges posed by climate change, biodiversity loss, and emerging health threats.
In a joint statement, the leaders voiced their shared commitment to working together to rally countries to strengthen their climate ambitions; achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement; and bend the curve of biodiversity loss by 2030. "We will champion the best available science – particularly reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services".

473 Fri, 19/08/2022 Anonymous Article from Online Science Journal 'One Earth' Uses IPBES Global Assessment to Outline Framework to Evaluate Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) English (396) Guided by the IPBES Assessment, this science article provides a framework to evaluate how Nature-based solutions NbS contribute to transformative change and apply it to 93 NbS from mountain social-ecological systems (SES). The framework serves to assess what elements may catalyze transformative change, how transformative change occurs, and what its outcomes are. The framework provides key components for assessing the effectiveness of NbS and allows tracking long-term transformative change processes.

489 Wed, 14/09/2022 Anonymous Guided by IPBES Assessment Methodology Ethiopia Has Validated its National Ecosystem Assessment English (396) Ethiopia’s national ecosystem assessment, in the works since 2017 and launched in early 2022, represents an important milestone in the country’s efforts to strengthen the conservation, restoration and sustainable use of biodiversity and ecosystem services. It was guided directly by the IPBES assessment methodology.

In May 2022, the Ethiopian Biodiversity Institute – which was leading the country’s assessment – and the Sub-Global Assessment Network, co-hosted a webinar celebrating Ethiopia’s assessment validation, highlighting the achievements and impact of the country’s findings to support national decision-making. Since Ethiopia’s national ecosystem assessment started, the country has been working on identifying opportunities and entry points for mainstreaming the assessment findings into the relevant policies and processes. The country will now move onto the fourth and final stage of the assessment process: the use of the assessment findings.

In line with the development of its post-2020 biodiversity framework, Ethiopia will incorporate the findings of its national ecosystem assessment into the relevant policies and processes, and implementing sectors will be assigned for the plan period of the framework. UNDP will also support Ethiopia in the use of assessment findings, through the catalytic BES Solution Fund, managed by UNDP through the Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services Network (BES-Net).

521 Mon, 17/10/2022 Anonymous IPBES and IPCC Awarded 2022 Gulbenkian Prize for Humanity for Contribution to Combatting Biodiversity Loss and Climate Change English (396) IPBES and IPCC were selected to receive the 2022 Gulbenkian Prize for Humanity, from a field of 116 nominations, from more than 40 countries.

This news was announced in Lisbon, Portugal, on Thursday (13 October) by Dr. Angela Merkel, the former Chancellor of Germany, in her capacity as President of the Gulbenkian Prize for Humanity jury.

In making their selection, the Jury highlighted how the selection recognizes “the role of science on the front line of tackling climate change and the loss of biodiversity.” “Evidence based science”, the Jury considered, “has been fundamental not only to advancing many of the political and public actions but also the need to attribute the ‘nature of urgency’ to the ways in which the political agenda approaches the question of combatting the climate crisis”. The prize includes an award of 1 million euro to be shared between the two organizations.

Speaking about the award, IPBES Executive Secretary Anne Larigauderie said: "The decision to award the 2022 Gulbenkian Prize for Humanity to both IPBES and IPCC is also a powerful statement confirming that the global loss of species, destruction of ecosystems and degradation of nature’s contributions to people together represent a crisis not only of similar magnitude to that of climate change, but one which must be addressed with at least similar urgency. The unified message from both of our expert communities is that either we tackle and solve the biodiversity crisis and the climate crisis together – or we will fail on both fronts."

The four key areas discussed provide opportunities for governments, businesses and civil society to work together to "implement actions that combine short-term impacts with structural change to shift economic systems away from a fixation with growth toward human and ecological well-being".

490 Wed, 14/09/2022 Anonymous Ernst & Young, Microsoft and Earth Knowledge Leverage IPBES Global Assessment Findings in New Joint Report on Financial Services for Conservation, Sustainability and Biodiversity English (396) Leveraging findings from the IPBES Global Assessment (2019), a new report by EY, Microsoft, and Earth Knowledge warns that the financial industry runs the danger of doing enormous harm to both itself and businesses across the world if it doesn't utilize its "huge influence" to halt behaviors that hurt the environment. The report states that the largest investment banks in the world provided $2.6 trillion in loans and underwriting services related to the destruction of nature in 2019 alone. The analysis, however, claims that there is still hope. It highlights large, unrealized profit prospects for the financial services industry related to biodiversity, sustainability, and conservation. The financial industry may benefit from an estimated $800 billion annual biodiversity funding gap by fostering nature's resilience, productivity, and adaptation. If the world is to reach its climate change, biodiversity, and land degradation commitments, this investment must triple in real terms by 2030 and quadruple by 2050.
