515 | Wed, 05/10/2022 | Fernando Neda | Researcher Uses IPBES Findings in Working Paper on Climate Attribution Science & Endangered Species Act | English (396) | According to the 2019 IPBES Global Assessment, there are presently an estimated one million species that are in danger of going extinct, with climate change playing a significant role in the risk's escalation. Recent studies on the detection and attribution of climate change, which look at how anthropogenic climate change is currently affecting our planet, have shown that habitats and species are already suffering from phenomena like rising land and water temperatures, melting ice and permafrost, sea level rise, more extreme weather events, and other changes in the bioclimatic conditions of particular habitats. Changes in species distribution, phenology, and population dynamics are being driven by these events. New research by Jessica Wentz, a fellow at the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law, Columbia Law School, uses findings from the IPBES Global Assessment in an examination of how the Endangered Species Act (ESA) decision-making process uses research to identify and attribute climate change. Decision-makers can use attribution science to evaluate the extent to which particular species are already in danger due to climate change, identify general trends in how climate change affects species and habitats, and create better management strategies to deal with the risks posed by the phenomenon. |

516 | Thu, 06/10/2022 | Fernando Neda | IPBES Conceptual Framework Applied to Research on Nature's Contributions to Andean Pastoral Peoples | English (396) | Through a comprehensive analysis of field data and literature about the Andean region, identifying the current status of research and knowledge gaps, researchers have used the IPBES conceptual framework to pinpoint Nature's Contributions to the peoples of Puna in the Central Andes. The research analyzed local trends in the capacity of nature to keep providing contributions to good quality of life from 1990 to the present. Indicators proposed by IPBES (2019) served as a reference and were adapted to the local scenario. The research was able to identify contributions such as (1) Habitat creation and maintenance, as well as regulation of freshwater, (2) Pollination and seed dispersal, (3) Regulation of climate and air quality, (4) Formation and protection of soils and sediments, (5) Formation and protection of soils and sediments, (6) Regulation of hazards and extreme events, (7) Regulation of biological processes, pests, and diseases, and (8) Food and feed, among others. |

517 | Mon, 20/02/2023 | Fernando Neda | Viet Nam's National Ecosystem Assessment Report 2021 Builds on IPBES Global Assessments | Vietnamese (523) | Building on the global assessments undertaken by IPBES, the Socialist Republic of Vietnam produced it's first-ever National Ecosystem Assessment, which it began developing in 2018. At the report's launch, presenters gave a summary of the methodology and results of the national assessment, focusing on the accomplishments and results and how the findings may assist with decision-making. Experts emphasized the critical importance of protecting vulnerable habitats, as well as the urgent need to integrate biodiversity conservation and ecosystem protection across all economic and social development policies to ensure a sustainable future for the country. The report provides useful references for strengthening public awareness and legal frameworks to protect and restore ecosystems. The assessment helps connect scientists to practitioners and policymakers in the country and will play a critical role in informing policymaking. Assessment findings were used to generate national policies such as the National Strategy on Environment Protection (to 2030 and a vision to 2050) and the National Strategy on Biodiversity Conservation (2021–2030). They also contributed to Viet Nam’s sixth national report to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity. |

518 | Mon, 17/10/2022 | Fernando Neda | Icelandic Minister Highlights IPBES Findings in 2019 Speech at the Arctic Circle China Forum | English (396) | During her keynote speech in the Arctic Science and Innovation session held during the 2019 Arctic Circle China Forum: China and The Arctic, H.E. Ms. Lilja Alfreðsdóttir, Minister of Education, Science and Culture of Iceland, highlighted a finding from the 2019 IPBES Global Assessment to advocate for greater co-ownership by indigenous peoples of decisions and policymaking on nature: "...What is the key message from me as a minister?...even though we have this very good dialogue with researchers and very talented and extremely forward-looking people...one of the things that we noticed is that 'nature managed by indigenous peoples and local communities is under increasing pressure, but it's generally declining less rapidly than in other lands' (IPBES 2019). What am I saying by this? Why am I highlighting this? I do that because it's very important that there is ownership of the policies. We need to think about the Arctic people. They need to be involved as regards to decision-making. We are not going to have successful decisions or policymaking, either global or local, unless we have the people that are there work with us." The China Forum was held in the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum on May 10-11, 2019. The forum was hosted by China's Ministry of Natural Resources in collaboration with the Polar Research Institute of China and supported by the Science and Technology Commission of Shanghai. Based in Reykjavík, Iceland, Arctic Circle is a "network of international dialogue and cooperation on the future of the Arctic and our Planet. It is an open democratic platform with participation from governments, organizations, corporations, universities, think tanks, environmental associations, indigenous communities, concerned citizens, and others. It is nonprofit and nonpartisan." |

519 | Mon, 10/10/2022 | Anonymous | IPBES Framework Applied in Participatory Assessment of Nature, People and Sustainability on Mount Kilimanjaro | English (396) | A new research study reports on findings from a first attempt at using the IPBES framework as a structured instrument for gathering stakeholder opinions during a participatory evaluation of nature, humans, and sustainability on Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. This assessment was organized in the form of a participatory three-day workshop with five different groups of stakeholders – community members, resource users, conservationists, researchers, and ‘other’ (mostly tourism operators). The IPBES framework enabled the effective collection and comparison of nuanced information from a diverse group of participants Using the IPBES framework, researchers assembled information on the state of and trends in species diversity, Nature's Contributions to People (NCP), and on the main drivers of changes in species and habitats. Additionally, researchers gathered perspectives on the needs and opportunities for the sustainable management and conservation of natural resources from the individual to the international level. Most respondents noted decreases in the majority of Kilimanjaro's ecosystems and species as well as in nature's capacity to provide services essential to human well-being, like as food, water, and livelihoods. They also anticipated that these decreases would persist. The majority of participants concurred that land-use change was a significant factor behind these decreases. Participants identified greater education and awareness as crucial steps to reversing these trends in order to prevent a deterioration in Nature and its capacity to promote human welfare. |

520 | Mon, 17/10/2022 | Fernando Neda | IPBES Conceptual Framework Offered as Best Approach to Understand Effective Pollinator Health Strategies | English (396) | A new opinion piece published by The Royal Society proposes the use of the IPBES conceptual framework "to link issues and identify critical gaps in both understanding and action for pollinators." In the article, authors Jane C. Stout and Lynn V. Dicks state that using the IPBES conceptual framework "reveals the centrality of addressing the recognized indirect drivers of decline, such as patterns of global trade and demography, which are frequently overlooked in current pollinator conservation efforts". The authors use the framework to emphasize the role of people and institutions in pollinator conservation. "To reverse drivers of decline, pollinator conservation strategies must take action on institutional indirect drivers of decline. Almost none of the strategic efforts currently in place do this explicitly," write Stout and Dicks. The opinion piece was published in the June 2022 edition (Volume 377, Issue 1853) of the journal 'Philosophical Transactions of The Royal Society B: Biological Sciences'. The overall theme of this edition is ‘Natural processes influencing pollinator health: from chemistry to landscapes’. |
