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. |

459 | Fri, 19/08/2022 | bcurley1012 | Two authors of IPBES Global Assessment Draw Lessons About How to Represent Biodiversity in Assessments and How Biodiversity Knowledge Can Inform Effective and Legitimate Actions | English (396) | The research article draws lessons from the IPBES Global Assessment about how to represent and govern biodiversity. The authors argue that while attempts to emulate climate science and governance are understandable, for biodiversity this is not a good idea. A narrow focus on biodiversity as species and biodiversity loss as species extinction may be easy to communicate and attractive for policy makers, NGOs or media to signal the urgency of the biodiversity crisis, but it is seriously limited in its ability to reflect diverse values and worldviews and catalyse the effective action that is needed to ensure the wellbeing of people and nature. | New/changed idea | Website | Biodiversity and species extinction: categorisation, calculation, and communication | Biodiversity and species extinction: categorisation, calculation, and communication | https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/10383441.2020.1925204 | 2021-07-17 | Multi-organizational/network | Cross-regional | public | Britt | Curley | IPBES | Programme Management Assistant - Communications | Secretariat: Bonn | ||||||||||||||
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?

The article argues that transformative governance is needed to enable the transformative change necessary for achieving global sustainability goals. It must be: integrative, inclusive, adaptive, and pluralist. The article further argues that governance becomes transformative only when these four governance approaches are: implemented in conjunction; operationalized in a specific manner; and focused on addressing the indirect drivers underlying sustainability issues. |

Kuiken argues along the same lines that in the global efforts to reduce the risk of emerging zoonoses, the current anthrocentric narrative must be replaced with a new ecocentric narrative that promotes a sustainable way of living, one where human are an integral part of nature and balance our needs with those of other living species. | New/changed idea | Print Article | Implications of Transformative Changes for Research on Emerging Zoonoses | Implications of Transformative Changes for Research on Emerging Zoonoses | 2021-05-27 | Cross-regional |
