The firm points out how the report "highlights the key elements investors and policymakers should consider when incorporating biodiversity into investment processes." "Many of the lessons learned from climate action can be directly applied to natural capital, including biodiversity," Jupiter states. "Jupiter is increasing its engagement in the area of natural capital, for example by participating in collaborative actions led by the FAIRR initiative and the Investors Policy Dialogue on Deforestation (IPDD). In addition, as a signatory to the Finance for Biodiversity Pledge, Jupiter has committed to contributing to the protection and restoration of biodiversity through its financial activities and investments. Jupiter must set company-level goals by 2025 and report publicly on its progress," the firm claims. |

Conserving our lands and waters is essential to protecting humans and wildlife and stabilizing our climate, so I’m following the direction from leading scientists and introducing this resolution to set a national goal of conserving 30 percent of America’s land and oceans by 2030 to tackle this urgent crisis.” The legislation is a companion bill to S. Res. 372 introduced by Senators Tom Udall (D-N.M.) and Michael Bennett (D-Colo.) in October 2019. |

614 | Wed, 13/12/2023 | Fernando Neda | US Senate Resolution Introduced that Highlights IPBES Science and Amplifies Call for National Biodiversity Strategy | English (396) | Oregon’s U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley introduced a non-binding resolution in the U.S. Senate to establish a National Biodiversity Strategy. The resolution would express the need for the United States to establish a national biodiversity strategy to protect species biodiversity. Such a strategy would encourage federal agencies to identify and pursue a full range of actions within existing laws and policies while encouraging the consideration of new ones, as well as establish a new four-year assessment to monitor the progress in addressing the biodiversity crisis. The resolution notes that "whereas the United States should play a leading role on the international stage in addressing the biodiversity crisis, yet the United States... (3) does not have a national biodiversity strategy as part of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services." The resolution references IPBES science published in the 2019 Global Assessment, stating that "whereas recent scientific studies have shown that human driven threats have harmed biodiversity by (1) threatening approximately 1,000,000 species with imminent or near extinction." It also makes references to scientific evidence on the decline of wild species, the need to control threats posed by invasive species, as well as drivers of biodiversity loss. Over 120 organizations endorsed the resolution. Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Ben Cardin (D-MD), Peter Welch (D-VT), and Cory Booker (D-NJ) joined Senator Merkley in sponsoring the resolution. |
