462 | Fri, 19/08/2022 | bcurley1012 | Informed by Key IPBES Assessment Findings, House of Commons Environmental Audit Committee Examines the State of Biodiversity in the UK and Actions Towards Biodiversity Protection | English (396) | The UK Government announced a ‘state of nature’ target aimed at halting the decline in nature in England by 2030, and plans to implement a raft of environmental policies to achieve these goals. While these policies are a welcome start, in their current form they do not represent the transformative change required to bend the curve of biodiversity loss. To help achieve the transformative change necessary, the House of Commons Environmental Audit Committee proposes a package of recommendations spanning biodiversity monitoring, funding, policy implementation, economics, and education. Informed by key IPBES Assessment findings, this report examines the state of biodiversity in the UK and how the UK can best protect and enhance biodiversity in the future, and seeks to evaluate the extent to which the UK is doing its part to deliver the transformative change necessary to reverse biodiversity loss. | New/changed commitment | Print Article | Biodiversity in the UK: bloom or bust?

465 | Fri, 19/08/2022 | bcurley1012 | The Artwork of Julie Sperling, Canadian Mosaic Artist and Environment Policy Analyst, is an Emotional Response to Key IPBES Assessment Findings and is a Call to Action for Transformative Change | English (396) | In a blog post Julie Sperling, Canadian mosaic artist and policy analyst with Environment and Climate Change Canada, cites key findings from IPBES Global Assessment, and makes personal and intimate the loss of global biodiversity through her art. Her loon explosion, titled ”In The Red”, showcasing the quintessentially Canadian loon, is meant to echo the idea of “annihilation”. The title is a nod to the International Union for Concerned Scientists’ "Red List" of Threatened Species, while the loon is hemmed in by concrete, which is an allusion to the rampant habitat destruction that’s fueling the current biological annihilation. Her art is a call to action: "So look into that loon’s eyes, harness the uneasiness, sadness, loss, guilt, rage, or whatever else you might feel, and channel it. I’ll be right there with you, fighting for our existence". | Other | Expressive arts | Website | Their annihilation will also be ours: Exploring extinction through art | Their annihilation will also be ours: Exploring extinction through art | http://sperlingmosaics.com/2019/05/their-annihilation-will-also-be-ours-exploring-extinction-through-art/ | 2021-05-12 | Americas | Canada | private | Britt | Curley | IPBES | Programme Management Assistant - Communications | Secretariat: Bonn | |||||||||||||

Despite the world’s necessary preoccupation with covid-19, we cannot wait for the pandemic to pass to rapidly reduce emissions.

470 | Fri, 19/08/2022 | Anonymous | Expectation Document by Norge Bank Quotes IPBES Assessment in Setting Expectations for Companies on How to Manage Environmental Matters | English (396) | The expectation document published by Norge Bank Investment Management serves as a starting point for the bank's interaction with companies on biodiversity and ecosystems. Changes to natural ecosystems and the biodiversity that underpins them, pose business risks to companies in our portfolio. Externalities from unsustainable use of natural ecosystems may also affect other companies and the fund’s long-term return. At the same time, evolving trends may present new business opportunities. Companies highly dependent on or impacting biodiversity and ecosystems should integrate relevant nature-related considerations into their corporate strategy, risk management and reporting. The document quotes IPBES, the number of species threatened by extinction is accelerating and is mainly driven by human activities. Exploitation of organisms, land use change, invasive alien species and environmental pollution are placing severe stress on ecosystems and disrupting habitats. |

625 | Mon, 26/02/2024 | Amarys Preuss | Swedish University and Farming data platform conduct a pilot study for measurement of farm impact on nature and biodiversity, citing IPBES highlights of the interlinked nature and climate challenges | Swedish (506) | The Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and Agronod - a farm data sharing platform - have developed a new tool in a pilot study making it possible to calculate and report biodiversity as well as climate impacts for a given farm and/or a specific production branch. The purpose of this tool is based on the linkage between climate and biodiversity challenges according to IPBES reports: the study proposes to support agricultural actors to be able to measure their impact on biodiversity and nature. The feasibility study includes, among other things: - A review of 16 different international methods for measuring the value of biodiversity. - Factors that affect biodiversity in arable landscapes in Sweden. Characteristics of the landscape and management methods that affect the nature around and on the farm. - Factors and measures that affect the value of biodiversity on individual farms. - Practical example of how a calculation can be done. |
