442 | Fri, 19/08/2022 | Anonymous | A Multi-Author Policy Perspective Paper Draws on IPBES Assessment Findings to Recommend Action in Priority Areas in Post-2020 Agenda | English (396) | Drawing on the IPBES findings, this policy perspective, published in Conservation Letters, A Journal for the Society of Conservation of Biology, discusses actions in four priority areas to inform the post-2020 agenda: (1) Increasing funding for conservation; (2) redirecting incentives for sustainability; (3) creating an enabling regulatory environment; and (4) reforming metrics to assess biodiversity impacts and progress toward sustainable and just goals. The four key areas discussed provide opportunities for governments, businesses and civil society to work together to "implement actions that combine short-term impacts with structural change to shift economic systems away from a fixation with growth toward human and ecological well-being". | New/changed idea | Website | Enabling transformative economic change in the post-2020 biodiversity agenda | Enabling transformative economic change in the post-2020 biodiversity agenda | https://conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/conl.12805 | 2021-05-03 | Global |

596 | Wed, 22/11/2023 | Amarys Preuss | Irish Children and Youth's Assembly on Biodiversity Loss Presents its Key Messages and Calls to Action on Drivers of Biodiversity Loss Based on IPBES Global Assessment | English (396) | The first Children and Young People's Assembly on Biodiversity Loss was was convened between September and November 2022. 35 Irish children aged 7-17 were selected to explore, discuss and create calls to action on how to protect and restore biodiversity in Ireland. The Assembly's work was organised under 5 Theme Groups, each specialised in a key driver of biodiversity loss as listed in the IPBES Global Assessment: habitat loss, climate change, invasive species, overexploitation and pollution. Across the five theme groups, Assembly members created over 100 calls to action, later consolidated into 6 key messages and 58 calls to action under a common vision: " an Ireland where we are connected to and care for the rights of nature (and each other) so that Biodiversity is restored and protected and we live and grow up in healthy, clean and fair environments." The vision statement, key messages and calls to action were presented to the Citizen's Assembly on Biodiversity Loss on 5 November 2022 |

577 | Mon, 27/11/2023 | [email protected] | French Foundation for Biodiversity (FRB) Assesses Capacity of 2030 National Biodiversity Strategy for Transformative Changes Based on IPBES Work | English (396) | The new IPBES work programme “assessment of transformative change” aims to identify factors in human society—behavioural, social, cultural dimensions, among others—that may be leveraged to bring about transformative change. In this context and based on its scientific recommendations, the third French National Strategy for Biodiversity for 2030 (SNB3), published in 2022, aims to contribute to the implementation of France’s international commitments under the Convention on Biological Diversity and the EU’s Biodiversity Strategy for 2030. We carried out a critical assessment of the capacity of the first version of SNB3 to initiate transformative change. . Firstly, we describe a two-step assessment methodology for determining the leverage potential of the strategy’s measures, based on a robust and replicable independent scientific audit and a multi-criteria analysis. . Secondly, we present the main results of the assessment using the SNB3 as a case example. We confirm the scientific and practical relevance of this type of exercise for policy makers, for establishing strategies that are part of a transition process allowing for real transformative change in society. By analysing the measures and ranking them from most to least efficient, this study reveals the strengths and weaknesses of the strategy by anticipating what should have and may not have an impact, while highlighting what needs to be improved as a priority. |
