538 Mon, 06/02/2023 Fernando Neda IPBES Nature Futures Framework Approach Used in Swedish Project Proposal to Integrate Nature in Urban Areas English (396) Researchers at the Stockholm Resilience Centre have presented ways to help city planners identify options for integrating nature within urban areas. Published in the May 2022 edition of Environmental Science & Policy, the framework led by researchers Jan Kuiper and Thomas Elmqvist responds to the development of new scenarios under the Intergovernmental Panel on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services that focus on positive perspectives on how people and nature can prosper together. These perspectives formed the basis for the Nature Futures Framework (NFF).

Given that the NFF is not primarily looking at urban contexts, to fill this gap, the researchers colleagues developed the Urban Nature Futures Framework (UNFF) which presents three approaches to integrating nature in cities: (1) Nature for Nature Future: natural areas and biodiversity are at the core of any urban development, (2) Nature for Society Future: human needs form the basis for what ecosystem services should be prioritised, and (3) Nature as Culture Futures: how nature can help create stronger social communities, a sense of place and stewardship of nature.

540 Thu, 09/02/2023 Fernando Neda G7 Ministers' Communique Highlights IPBES Findings & Calls on IPBES and IPCC to Intensify Cooperation English (396) G7 Ministers of Climate, Energy and the Environment, met on 26th–27th May 2022 in Berlin to address the multiple crises that are endangering the climate and environment and causing severe impacts on the planet, lives and livelihoods, and the next generations’ needs around the world. Through an official communiqué, the Ministers stated: "We express our deep concern regarding the triple global crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution, recognising that these challenges are inextricably interlinked and mutually reinforcing, and that they are driven largely by human activity and by unsustainable patterns of consumption and production. We therefore commit to immediate, short- and medium-term action in this critical decade, leveraging the synergies between climate and biodiversity action, the clean energy transition and environmental protection, which should inform long-term transformative change". Consequently the Ministers called on "the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and other relevant international science and policy panels to intensify their cooperation in this regard".

Likewise, the Ministers added: "We also highlight with concern the findings of the IPBES, indicating that around 1 million species are threatened by extinction, many within decades, and that biodiversity is declining and ecosystems are degrading faster than at any time in human history. We stress the urgency of adopting a new global biodiversity framework in 2022 and its prompt and swift implementation for halting and reversing biodiversity loss by 2030".

541 Thu, 09/02/2023 Fernando Neda WEF Draws on IPBES Findings in New White Paper on Using Spatial Intelligence for Business Action on Nature and Climate English (396) Published by the World Economic Forum in September 2022, the “Location Matters: Using spatial intelligence for business action on nature and climate” white paper was written collaboratively by the Forum’s Global Future Council on Nature-Based Solutions and the SPACES Coalition – a growing initiative guiding governments and business networks on how to utilise spatial intelligence to accelerate progress for nature and climate.

The paper uses findings from the IPBES Global Assessment Report, stating that "the rise in global temperature of 1.1°C since pre-industrial times is already generating record extreme heat, droughts, forest fires, flooding and sea level rise that threaten food security, water security and livelihoods." It also refers to the report by pointing out that "it is beyond doubt that both nature and climate materially affect current and future business activities."

Similarly, the report highlights the IPBES-IPCC Co-Sponsored Workshop: Biodiversity and Climate Change – Scientific outcome, by pointing out that "while often viewed in silos, the nature and climate crises are fundamentally interconnected. To address them effectively requires integrated, urgent and concerted action".

542 Thu, 09/02/2023 Fernando Neda IPBES Global Assessment Findings Used in WEF Briefing Paper on Biodiversity Credits English (396) A new briefing paper by the World Economic Forum cites the 2019 IPBES Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, mentioning in its introduction that "Human activity is eroding the world’s ecological foundations. Over 1 million species are at risk of extinction, one third of the world’s topsoil has been degraded, forest fires are now more extensive and destructive than at any time in the past 10,000 years and 50% of the world’s coral reefs are destroyed."

The paper, titled “Biodiversity Credits: Unlocking Financial Markets for Nature-Positive Outcomes,” is the output of past months’ deliberation with the Working Group on Biodiversity Credits. The paper points out that biodiversity credits are part of a company’s nature-positive journey –an investment in nature’s recovery, rather than an offset for damages.

550 Mon, 20/02/2023 Fernando Neda Genal River Stakeholder Workshop uses IPBES Nature Futures Framework to Envision a Future for the River Spanish (399) The DRYvER project held its first local stakeholders workshop in the Genal River (Spain), operationalizing the IPBES Nature Futures Framework to develop pathways for a sustainable future for the river, in light of three perspectives: nature for nature, people, and culture. Called "Genal River Research and Climate Change", 25 residents of the Genal Valley participated in the workshop to explore their perceptions of the river and how they relate to it. The session was also dedicated to identifying wishes for the future of the entire Genal Valley. During the workshop, participants from different sectors, including industry as well as private citizens, did an excursion to the sampling sites of the Genal River to learn how to sample biodiversity.

Financed by the European Union Horizon 2020 project, DRYvER (Securing biodiversity, functional integrity and ecosystem services in DRYing riVER networks) consists of multidisciplinary teams of 25 experts from 11 countries in Europe, South America, China and the USA, building on EU efforts to investigate how climate change has cascading impacts on biodiversity, ecosystem functions and ecosystem services of DRNs (drying river networks). DRYvER aims to collect, analyse and model data from nine drying river networks (DRN) in Europe and South America to create a novel global meta-system approach that incorporates hydrology, socio-economics, ecology and biogeochemistry in order to craft strategies, tools and recommendations for adaptive management of river networks.

DRYvER also seeks to expand previous IPBES assessment reports (Methodological assessment report on scenarios and models of biodiversity and ecosystem services; Thematic assessment on land degradation and restoration; EU and Central Asia Regional assessment) by including river networks facing climate change. It also aims to provide inputs to more recent thematic assessment on sustainable use and conservation of biodiversity, and the upcoming thematic assessment on invasive alien species and their control.

551 Sat, 29/04/2023 CMousnier IUCN Issues Guideline for Working with Indigenous & Local Knowledge (ILK) in IUCN Red List assessments Informed by IPBES Work on ILK English (396) IUCN have issued guidelines for working with Indigenous & Local Knowledge (ILK) in assessments of red list species. The document builds on discussions that have taken place over the last decade between the IUCN CEESP-SSC Sustainable Use and Livelihoods Specialist Group and the IUCN SSC Red List Committee and draws on experience from the IPBES ILK Approach. Indeed the IPBES Global Assessment (GA) was the first global scale assessment to engage systematically with ILK. The document refers to IPBES' work which has influenced and informed this process by IUCN. Moreover, various IPBES experts and knowledge holders have contributed to this document, including Marla R. Emery, Flore Lafaye de Micheaux and Phil Lyver.

In other words, the work of IPBES has provided a framework and approach to engage with ILK and IPLCs in scientific assessments, and this has influenced the development of these guidelines for gathering and utilizing ILK in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

553 Mon, 27/11/2023 Fernando Neda Researchers Build on IPBES Sustainable Use of Wild Species Report to Examine National Implications of its Findings for South Africa English (396) Research published in the South African Journal of Science (March 2023) builds on the recent findings of the IPBES Sustainable Use of Wild Species Assessment Report to examine the national implications of the assessment for South Africa, also drawing on insights from local contributing authors. In drawing these links, the researchers make the point that South Africa is a megadiverse country with a population that relies extensively on the use of wild species for food, energy, medicine, and income, amongst many other purposes. They also argue that the IPBES Sustainable Use of Wild Species assessment provides impetus for placing biodiversity at the centre of sustainable development in South African policy.

555 Sat, 29/04/2023 Fernando Neda Protocol Developed to Operationalize IPBES Nature Futures Framework (NFF) by Combining it with Multi-Objective Optimization English (396) Through a case study of a rural landscape in northeastern Japan, researchers have developed a protocol with three specifications for operationalizing the IPBES Nature Futures Framework (NFF) in a landscape scenario analysis using a multi-objective optimization framework composed of: (1) exploring nature-positive futures, (2) seeking alternative pathways for targets satisfying visions of plural values, and (3) screening key direct drivers to achieve the targets.

This study modeled the NFF-based scenarios by applying the concept of multi-objective optimization and a landscape change model to explore desirable futures, seek targets in the NFF state space, and screen response options for reaching these targets in the Bekambeushi River watershed in northeastern Japan.

The protocol identified multiple, but few nature-positive and Pareto optimal strategies that satisfied NFF visions; nature-positive, but not Pareto optimal strategies; and non-nature-positive strategies. The protocol also identified key response options to achieve three different NFF value perspectives in the case study area: (1) clear or selective cutting in forestry and (2) solar PV installation on abandoned pastureland in agriculture and energy sectors.

556 Sat, 29/04/2023 Fernando Neda Land Degradation Knowledge from IPBES Applied in New Study on Degraded Landscapes in Tanzania English (396) Researchers conducted a study using the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) definition of rangeland degradation as "persistent loss of vegetation productivity cover, especially of those plants which support herbivores."

The scientists aimed to identify whether degradation results from a loss of resistance to environmental shocks, or loss of recovery, in an area consisting of 30,300 km2 of the Tarangire-Manyara ecosystem and Maasai Steppe of northern Tanzania.

Quoting IPBES, researchers stated that "rangeland degradation has been defined as a long-term decline in productivity resulting in rangelands unsuitable for grazing (IPBES19), rather than short-term declines driven by temporal variability of environmental conditions (e.g. rainfall, grazing pressure)."

Researchers found "locations that ended up the most degraded tended to decline in condition more during years of widespread degradation but maintained their recovery potential. These results suggest that resilience in rangelands is lost through declines in resistance, rather than loss of recovery potential."

A draft of the Nordic Nutrition Recommendations (NNR) 2023 was developed and launched for public consultation on 31 March 2023.

In accordance with its scope and mandate, the report assessed the environmental effects of foods and food groups. It states: "The sixth assessment reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) (141, 142) and the Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services from the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (143) (IPBES) are pillars in the evaluation of environmental impact of food consumption in NNR2023."

The NNR project is funded by the Nordic Council of Ministers (NCM) and the food and health authorities in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Sweden, and Norway. As associated members of the Nordic Council of Ministers, health authorities from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania were invited to participate in the NNR Committee with one observer each.
