564 | Mon, 27/11/2023 | Fernando Neda | G7 Ministers Champion IPBES Work and Announce Workshop on Key Findings from the Invasive Alien Species Report | English (396) | The G7 Ministers of Climate, Energy and the Environment met on from the 15th to 16th April 2023 in Sapporo, Japan, and issued a communiqué covering a wide range of topics and commitments agreed on during the gathering. In the communiqué, the G7 pledged species protection, including addressing the issue of invasive alien species (IAS), noting that this was identified as one of the five direct drivers of global biodiversity loss in the IPBES Global Assessment Report. The communiqué states: "Invasive alien species: Invasive alien species (IAS) are identified as one of the five direct drivers of global biodiversity loss in the IPBES Global Assessment Report, and their negative impact has been intensifying globally. In order to accelerate the implementation of the Target 6 of the GBF, we will act upon the key findings and useful scientific information to be provided by the IPBES invasive alien species assessment report to be finalized at IPBES-10." "Recognizing the need for enhanced international cooperation to cope with increasing intentional and unintentional transport of IAS across borders, we will hold the G7 workshop on IAS to discuss necessary measures, including information sharing at national and subnational levels, technology development, and private sector engagement, and develop a set of recommendations," the communiqué continued. In their statement, the ministers also acknowledged "the vital role of science in identifying solutions... to understand the changes taking place in our climate and environment and to urgently reverse negative trend." They welcomed the contributions of the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), among others, and called for "continued collaboration and interaction among these scientific communities." |

578 | Fri, 17/11/2023 | Qihan-Huang | Motivated by IPBES Global Assessment, Secretary-General of China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF) Signs the Petition for Global Deal for Nature | English (396) | In response to the release of the IPBES 2019 Global Assessment Report, Dr. Zhou Jinfeng, the Secretary-General of China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF), has signed the Petition for Global Deal for Nature (GDN) which is calling on the world leaders to protect half of our lands and seas. The Report by IPBES discloses the worrying current situation of our nature: species extinction, wildlife decline, habitat loss, and exhausted ecological resources. According to the petition, "these systems are being thrown dangerously off balance by an onslaught of human activities. From pesticides on our fields to plastics choking our oceans to bulldozers in our forests, all over the planet, the natural world is under assault." Dr. Zhou Jinfeng said, “we must change our lifestyle and production mode in a radical way. We should abandon the values of changing and conquering the nature obtained in the industrial civilization and develop new values of respecting and conserving nature. It is essential to protect earth resources, biodiversity, and natural habitats, and take actions to maintain the balance of the ecosystem, thus achieving sustainable development and creating a community of shared future for mankind. This is the inexorable trend of civilization development." |

595 | Mon, 27/11/2023 | Fernando Neda | Directly Citing IPBES Report on Invasive Alien Species, Australian Commits $2.2m to Reduce Threat of Buffel Grass | English (396) | "The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) has recognised buffel grass’s potential to completely take over arid ecosystems, forcing out native plant and animal species," said the South Australian government as it announced that the state's Landscape Priorities Fund and the Alinytjara Wilurara Landscape Board (AWLB) will jointly contribute more than $2.2M to a multi-agency buffel grass program. "The IPBES’s Assessment Report on Invasive Alien Species and their Control has been welcomed by the South Australian Government and the Alinytjara Wilurara Landscape Board (AWLB), which has led the fight against buffel grass in remote parts of the state for more than a decade," read the press release issued by the entities. The organizations stated that "buffel grass is a threat to remote Indigenous communities in Australia because it causes heightened fire risk, damage to cultural sites, and a reduction in the ability to pass on cultural knowledge to the next generation," and that "left unmanaged, the weed poses a threat to grazing and cropping systems because it spreads quickly in hotter, stormier weather." Dr. Ellen Ryan-Colton, South Australian contributor to IPBES report, said "IPBES is at the forefront of including Indigenous knowledge in their reporting and recognising the effects on human communities." Likewise, Alinytjara Wilurara Landscape Board Chair Mick Haynes said, "the IPBES report is encouraging, especially the mention of the impact such invasive species have on the wellbeing and quality of life of human populations." |

608 | Thu, 30/11/2023 | Fernando Neda | IPBES Science at Heart of Guardian Newspaper's Initiative to Include Biodiversity Amongst its Editorial Priorities | English (396) | The influential UK-based Guardian newspaper updated its editorial climate pledge to include nature and biodiversity. For this major editorial revision, and intending to ensure that biodiversity is also placed at the heart of their work in the way that climate was a few years back, the publication launched a large news feature. The reports focuses on what the world might look like in 2050 if we do not take the necessary action on biodiversity. The article concentrates on the five main drivers of biodiversity loss identified by IPBES: land and sea use change, direct exploitation of natural resources, climate change, pollution and invasive species. As such, The Guardian requested perspectives from IPBES experts from different backgrounds, geographies and genders. IPBES science, particularly from the 2019 Global Assessment and the 2023 Invasive Alien Species Assessment, was not only cited in the article, but it led Guardian to commission it, marking the newspaper's commitment to including biodiversity and related issues amongst its editorial priorities. IPBES authors and/or experts quoted in the news piece include Sandra Diaz, Emma Archer, Anibal Pauchard, Hanno Seebens, Peter Stoett, Unai Pascual, Jean-Marc Fromentin, Josef Settele and Eduardo Brondizio. |

613 | Tue, 12/12/2023 | Fernando Neda | Asset Management Company Mirova's Social Impact Strategy Influenced by IPBES Science | English (396) | Asset management company Mirova has pledged to focus on the social impacts of its land investments around the world through a sustainable land management-dedicated strategy. Mirova offers investment solutions that combine financial performance with environmental and social impact. The newly launched Mirova Sustainable Land Fund 2 (MSLF2) has the goal of raising €350 million (US$377.8 million) over a four-to-five year period from public bodies and institutional investors. It will invest in agroforestry, sustainable forestry, and regenerative agriculture projects in developing countries. In its April 2023 report, "Mirova for Nature: Progress report on our roadmap in favour of biodiversity #2," the organization references science published in the IPBES Global Assessment (2019) and IPBES-IPCC Co-sponsored Workshop report, writing: "For Mirova, quick action by the financial sector is required well before regulations are enforced everywhere: divestment of impactful activities such as intensive agriculture & forestry, investment in nature-positive activities such as nature-based solutions and activities that reduce the five direct anthropogenic pressure drivers defined by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES)– changes in land and sea use; direct exploitation of organisms; climate change; pollution; and invasion of alien species –, but also simulation of corporates impacts to support investment decisions in the absence of sufficient data and engagement with companies to direct their climate fundings towards land-use projects in the context of net-zero commitments." "Evaluating positive impact also requires evaluation of the business-as-usual and sustainability scenario for each of the five pressure drivers on biodiversity defined by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES)... Mirova leverages collaborative engagement to encourage companies in most material sectors to accelerate the transition towards deployment of processes and development of products that mitigate negative impacts in supply chain and improve positive impact based on reduced IPBES pressures of an activity as compared to a baseline," continued the organization. "Mirova excludes activities that are most harmful to biodiversity. Globally a few activities have been identified as most harmful to biodiversity because they are the main root cause of the IPBES pressures drivers. Mirova has already published its controversial activity list on the topic of climate change and intends to update it with new exclusions related to land use and pollution, including notably deforestation-linked agricultural commodities, chemicals and plastics," the entity pledged. |

439 | Mon, 04/04/2022 | Anonymous | At First Nobel Prize Summit EU President Ursula von der Leyen Says IPBES Work "Essential to Build Consensus Around Our Planet's State of Health" | English (396) | In a video recorded message on the occasion of the First Nobel Prize Summit, held virtually from 26 to 28 April 2021, Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, outlined three reasons why, and three ways how, governments need to work with science. First, "we need science to make sense of the world around us. Second, we need science to guide us. And third, we need science to find new solutions to the challenges of our times, and to fuel innovation for a healthy planet." On her second point the President pointed to Europe's close work with the three international panels that bring science to the table of policy-makers: IPCC for climate, IPBES for biodiversity and IRP for resources and the circular economy. "Their advice has been essential to build an international consensus around our planet's state of health. It is now time to find ways for these platforms to work better together. Because everything is connected. One health, one planet, one humanity. So we must also join up our work on climate, on biodiversity and on circularity. For a more effective multilateralism, guided by science." |
