263 | Fri, 19/08/2022 | Anonymous | Joint Declaration of Women in Conservation Takes Into Account Findings of IPBES Global Assessment | English (396) | Within the framework of the III Congress of Protected Areas in Latin America and the Caribbean in Lima, Peru, the Meeting of Women in Conservation “Collectively Building the Women’s Agenda in Conservation of Latin America and the Caribbean” brought together 60 women from 14 countries from environmental, academic, scientific, political, social, community, indigenous and LGBT+ diversity sectors. In the document “Joint Declaration of Women in Conservation,” which was formed through this meeting, the attendees proclaim to “collaborate in good faith to achieve gender equality” and formally take into account the findings of the IPBES Global Assessment, including its finding that inequalities related to income and gender weaken the ability to achieve sustainability. |

204 | Fri, 19/08/2022 | Anonymous | Former US Secretary of State Draws on IPBES Global Assessment in Appeal to World Leaders to Protect Biodiversity | English (396) | Madeleine Albright, former US Secretary of State and former US Ambassador to the United Nations, draws on the IPBES Global Assessment in an article following the 2020 gathering of the Aspen Ministers Forum. Albright provides context for a statement released on 18 February 2020, signed by 23 former foreign ministers calling on world leaders to protect biodiversity. Albright highlights the findings of the IPBES Global Assessment, including that “the current rate of extinction is two to three times higher than the average rate over the past ten million years. As a result, up to one million species now stand threatened.” |

445 | Fri, 19/08/2022 | Anonymous | Paper Cites IPBES in Case Study Seeking to Identify Link Between Potential Futures and the Values Underpinning Them in Protected Land Areas in Czechia | English (396) | Drawing on IPBES Methodological Assessment Report's "future thinking", an approach helping people to understand and tackle complex sustainability, this study aims to address the gap between understanding the scope of the root causes of human decisions and actions, and the link between anthropogenic drivers and their potential future impacts on nature in local regions. Through the design and implementation of a local-scale participatory value-based scenario building process, this study explores the relationships between (1) multiple types of values, (2) actions taken by different types of stakeholders, and (3) their potential impacts on nature, nature’s contributions to people (including ecosystem services) and good quality of life. This paper summarizes the results and lessons learnt from an array of value-based participatory scenario-building processes in the context of Protected Land Areas in a Czechia, in Central Europe, and reflects on the utility of value-based participatory scenario planning as a means to strengthen sustainable governance. | New/changed idea | Website | Linking multiple values of nature with future impacts: value-based participatory scenario development for sustainable landscape governance | Linking multiple values of nature with future impacts: value-based participatory scenario development for sustainable landscape governance | https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11625-021-00953-8 | 2021-05-12 | Europe and Central Asia | Czechia | public | Britt | Curley | IPBES | Assistant Programme Management-Communications | Secretariat: Bonn | ||||||||||||||

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". |

538 | Mon, 06/02/2023 | Fernando Neda | IPBES Nature Futures Framework Approach Used in Swedish Project Proposal to Integrate Nature in Urban Areas | English (396) | Researchers at the Stockholm Resilience Centre have presented ways to help city planners identify options for integrating nature within urban areas. Published in the May 2022 edition of Environmental Science & Policy, the framework led by researchers Jan Kuiper and Thomas Elmqvist responds to the development of new scenarios under the Intergovernmental Panel on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services that focus on positive perspectives on how people and nature can prosper together. These perspectives formed the basis for the Nature Futures Framework (NFF). Given that the NFF is not primarily looking at urban contexts, to fill this gap, the researchers colleagues developed the Urban Nature Futures Framework (UNFF) which presents three approaches to integrating nature in cities: (1) Nature for Nature Future: natural areas and biodiversity are at the core of any urban development, (2) Nature for Society Future: human needs form the basis for what ecosystem services should be prioritised, and (3) Nature as Culture Futures: how nature can help create stronger social communities, a sense of place and stewardship of nature. |
