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." |

523 | Tue, 18/10/2022 | Anonymous | Irish National Children and Young People's Assembly on Biodiversity Loss Uses Global Assessment to Focus Thematic Discussions | English (396) | Ireland's first-ever national Childen and Young People's Assembly on Biodiversity Loss has been taking place for some of the country's youngest citizens to talk about how to better protect and restore biodiversity in Ireland. Aged 7-17, the children and young people are meeting in two weekend workshops to participate in biodiversity-themed discussions, nature trails and problem-solving brainstorming sessions. Although focused on national issues of nature loss, organiser Diarmuid Torney said: "The work of IPBES has informed our planning for the assembly in important ways. Probably the most important way in which we have drawn on IPBES findings is that we have divided the group of 35 assembly members into five thematic groups, each of which has been allocated one of the five key direct drivers of biodiversity loss as identified in the 2019 IPBES Global Assessment Report." The finding of one million species of plants and animals at risk of extinction has also provided a global context to the discussions. |

529 | Fri, 21/10/2022 | rspaull | Researchers Use IPBES Approach to Values to Revisit Positive Impacts of Non-Native Species | English (396) | Using the IPBES apparoach of a comprehensive range of nature-based values, researchers from UNIGE and Brown University have made the case for reevaluating maligned non-native species - specifically that the contribution of some of these species can also be positive. ’’Positive impacts of non-native species are often explained as serendipitous surprises — the sort of thing that people might expect to happen every once in a while, in special circumstances,’’ says Dov Sax, a professor in the Department of Ecology, Evolution and Organismal Biology at Brown University. ’’Our new paper argues that the positive impacts of non-native species are neither unexpected nor rare, but instead common, important and often of large magnitude.’’ Good for people and nature. The study borrows from a recent framework developed by IPBES, an international platform for the assessment of biodiversity and its ecosystem services, which examines the benefits of biodiversity for people and nature, and applies it to non-native species, showing the diverse, frequent and important ways that non-native species provide positive value for people and nature. |

Joe Neguse (Colo.-02), Ted Lieu (Calif.-33), Ruben Gallego (Ariz.-07), and Ed Case (Hawaii-01) to introduce the Thirty by Thirty Resolution to Save Nature to set a goal for the United States to conserve at least 30% of the ocean and land by 2030. In a press conference, Rep. Haaland said, “Globally, the loss of nature – accelerated by climate change – is putting up to one million species on the path to extinction. 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. |
