With the participation of the IPBES Executive Secretary, as well as the co-chairs of the IPBES Thematic Assessment of Invasive Alien Species and their Control, the webinar delved into major topics around IAS issues, including the key messages of the summary for policymakers of the IPBES IAS report and how it can be utilized for achieving Target 6 of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.

The speakers also shared their experiences at the national/regional/global levels toward the achievement of the global target and discussed necessary actions to enhance international cooperation and private sector engagement. Among the speakers were the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the Task Force on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), the ASEAN Centre for Biodiversity and the Italian Institute for Environmental Protection and Research.

 Wed, 24/08/2022 Anonymous Colombia’s First National Ecosystem Assessment Published Partly in Support of IPBES English (396) With its rich, diverse ecosystems ranging from high mountains to wetlands, forests and coastal marine ecosystems, for Colombians, nature’s contributions take on different forms. Yet, drivers of biodiversity loss such as deforestation, erosion, overgrazing and increasingly severe competition over natural resources threaten Colombia’s environmental sustainability, affecting not only the functionality of these ecosystems but also the relationships among species.

Colombia's national ecosystem assessment has been the product of a three-year-long effort to build the country’s capacity in support of IPBES. Assessment authors and experts called for an urgent need to shift to better environmental management and stronger implementation of environmental legislation to halt the country’s rapid biodiversity loss. During the assessment, 105 experts from scientific, traditional and local knowledge backgrounds came together to articulate multiple scenarios for the trajectory of Colombia’s biodiversity and ecosystems until 2050 and its impacts on people's wellbeing.

The assessment points to the need for building greater institutional capacity among not just environmental institutions but also other bodies responsible for sustainable development and local governance. In the Colombian context, experts noted that conflicts arising over issues of mining or the agro-industry demand greater attention and awareness. Equipping these actors with skills and training, as well as budgets and accountability for implementation can ensure that policies and programmes are well-coordinated and impactful.

 Wed, 28/09/2022 Patrick.Tonissen In Light of IPBES Global Assessment Findings and Media Success, Fridtjof Nansen Institute Policy Brief Examines Implications for Norwegian Context Writing for the Fridtjof Nansen Institute, a policy brief by Christian Prip "Towards a global deal for biodiversity with Norway as a proactive contributor," "scrutinizes the delayed process under the Convention on Biological Diversity towards a new global framework for biodiversity with goals and targets, focusing on the major issues under discussion, and contributions from Norway to the process," with a strong focus on the findings of the IPBES Global Assessment and its 'eye-opening' effect on the public.

"The fact that our planet is hit by a global biodiversity crisis has attracted far less attention than the equally severe climate crisis. However, in 2019 the biodiversity crisis emerged from the shadows with the release of the Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), a UN body established in 2012. The report made media headlines worldwide, thereby confirming the expediency of establishing IPBES as nature’s counterpart to the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)."

 Wed, 24/08/2022 rspaull League for Protection of Birds (LPO) Cites IPBES on Drivers of Biodiversity Loss in Opposition to French Renewable Energy Acceleration Bill English (396) Yves Verilhac, director general of the LPO (League for the Protection of Birds) argues against the new French Renewable Energy Acceleration Bill saying: "“How can we go and put wind power in protected natural sites, Natura 2000 sites, migration corridors? IPBES (UN biodiversity experts) says that the artificialization of environments is the first cause of the collapse of biodiversity. But what are we proposing? To go and put photovoltaic panels full field in sectors where it was impossible before, by derogating from the mountain law, the coastal law, etc. The best allies of renewable energies, like the LPO, are dropping out. It's indefensible". Specifically he argues that the Bill is a "purely sectoral" project which "completely forgets the issues of biodiversity". This is direct refrence to the finding of the IPBES Global Assessment that land-use change is the most important driver of global biodiversity loss - and indirect reference to the finding of the IPBES-IPCC Joint workshop on biodiversity and climate change that actions to address these crises must be taken together or risk making the other worse.
