611 | Wed, 06/12/2023 | Fernando Neda | Science from IPBES Pollination Report at Heart of New Global 'Trillion Bees' Coalition to Develop Projects and Actions to Protect Pollinators | English (396) | A new global coalition is coming together with a mission to raise awareness to reverse biodiversity loss and save our planet’s pollinators. To be presented for the first time at COP28 in Dubai this December, the new global coalition Trillion Bees is inviting businesses, organisations and industry leaders to join its mission and ‘Bee The Change’ to help protect the world’s pollinators. The network aims to be a new global coalition and unified force of science-led individuals, businesses and organisations committed to raising awareness and driving behaviour change to create a world where pollinators thrive, in order to sustain healthy ecosystems and secure the wellbeing of people and nature. "Over the next 7 years, we’re set to engage and mobilise over 2 billion people worldwide, and aim to raise over $1 billion dollars to support nature restoration and transformative projects to save our pollinators," the Coalition has pledged. Trillion Bees is a science-led initiative supported by a scientific advisory board of some of the world’s leading scientists, chaired by Professor Simon Potts (co-Chair IPBES Pollination Assessment). The board is currently developing the Theory of Change (a methodology of projects and expected outcomes), which is based on the IPBES [Pollinators] Assessment Report and decisions adopted by the UN Biodiversity Conference COP13, and will be the organisation’s north star for action.

Saying "no single actor can be the solution alone," the Group aims to pool strengths to find solutions that will preserve biodiversity, and through numerous actions and partnerships, seeks to inform the general public about ongoing natural emergencies, to which it is imperative to provide a collective, effective and immediate response. | New/changed commitment | Website | Preservation of biodiversity: BNP Paribas activates the collective commitment | Preservation of biodiversity: BNP Paribas activates the collective commitment | https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/BNP-PARIBAS-4618/actualite/Preservation-de-la-biodiversite-BNP-Paribas-actionne-l-engagement-collectif-33093969/ | 2021-04-28 | Multi-organizational/network | Europe and Central Asia | France |

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. |

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". |

In this respect, the Principality is pursuing its energy transition to achieve a 55% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2050. In this respect, the latest IPBES assessment report is very clear. The tools and solutions to build a sustainable and fairer future for future generations already exist. We are the actors. A duty of solidarity is required if we are to succeed collectively in this energy transition." | New/changed commitment | Website | Monaco - Prince Addresses United Nations General Debate, 77th Session (English) | Monaco - Prince Addresses United Nations General Debate, 77th Session (English) | https://youtu.be/n8ZE0Zj-0Ig | 2022-09-22 | National | Monaco | public | Rob | Spaull | IPBES | Head of Comms | Secretariat: Bonn | [email protected] |
