 Thu, 25/08/2022 Anonymous Francophone Africa Regional Trialogue Background Document Based on the IPBES Assessment Findings French (397) The manifestations of biodiversity crisis, such as the decline of pollinator populations and land degradation, indicate the approaching of a critical tipping point for humanity. Biodiversity loss is reducing nature’s contributions to humanity, strongly impacting rural communities and countries dependent on agricultural production. Africa is particularly vulnerable to land degradation, with two-thirds of its land surface estimated to be already degraded to some degree, affecting at least 65 % of the entire African population.

The Francophone Africa Regional Trialogue was initially planned to bring together representatives from seven sub-Saharan African countries: Benin, Cameroon, Chad, Côte d'Ivoire, Democratic Republic of Congo, Senegal and Togo. It has been postponed several times due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and representatives from these seven countries met online during the lockdown period for the Virtual Trialogue for the Community of Practice on 2–25 November 2020.

In 2022, when the health emergency subsided, planning resumed for the physical Trialogue events, as the added value of face-to-face interaction is difficult to match online. However, in some parts of the world, travel restrictions persist. A decision was therefore made to proceed with the application of the regional Trialogue methodology in one country, Cameroon, at least for this year. The next Trialogue is planned to take place in Yaoundé, Cameroon, on 25–27 October 2022. The Cameroon Trialogue will replace the Francophone Africa Trialogue and will focus on discussing issues related to land degradation and restoration, pollinators and the sustainable use of wild species. More information may be found here and in the attached concept note.

From 2023, subject to local circumstances, BES-Net will shift fully back to the original regional Trialogue modality and continuously promote awareness-creation and uptake of the IPBES assessments at the national and wider levels.

The reference information for the Trialogue event is compiled in the Background Document, which focuses on the status of biodiversity loss in general and specifically on land degradation and pollination in the seven target countries. The document was developed based on the IPBES Assessment findings, as well as the results of the survey carried out in the form of questionnaires or direct interviews with resource persons representing the participating countries.

 Mon, 27/11/2023 Fernando Neda Parties to the Antarctic Treaty Issue Report Based on IPBES Science With Direct Policy Recommendations for Environmental Protection English (396) At the 44th Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting (ATCM XLIV) held in Berlin, Germany, from 24 May to 2 June 2022, the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Parties recognised the important role of the Antarctic region in global climate processes, welcomed the Decadal Synopsis Report on Antarctic Climate Change and the Environment (ACCE report) by the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR), and showed concern about the effects and projected changes to Antarctic environments resulting from climate change outlined in the Decadal Synopsis.

The ACCE report was compiled by the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research from the findings presented in the reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predominantly, and of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services. SCAR acknowledged the contributions of all of those involved in the documents that form the basis of the synoptic report, in particular the thousands of contributors to and administrators of the IPCC and IPBES processes and the researchers whose work was cited either in those reports or in the ACCE report.

"The IPCC and IPBES reports form the substantive basis for the Antarctic and Southern Ocean synopsis compiled here. These reports, and their Summaries for Policymakers in particular, should be considered necessary background reading for full information on change that has already occurred, its attribution, and expectations for the future," states the ACCE publication.

 Mon, 27/11/2023 Fernando Neda 7 Directors from Natural Science Institutes from Europe Reference IPBES Science in Open Letter Supporting the European Nature Restoration Law English (396) In June 2023, seven directors from natural science institutes in Europe referenced IPBES in an open letter supporting the European Nature Restoration Law, which was later passed by the European Parliament in July 2023.

"Report after report, from regional or national studies to international organizations such as IPCC and IPBES, the science is clear: we must act now, not only on climate but also on biodiversity, as both are intricately and inseparably linked. That is why we are addressing you today," states the open letter.

Furthermore, the letter also cites IPBES findings by stating: "With currently one million species at risk of extinction we hope you will take the right decisions to avoid nature to be found only in our museums."

The public were invited to sign the open letter in support of the directors' appeal. Signatories included the directors of the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, the Natural History Museum of Denmark, the Naturalis Biodiversity Center in The Netherlands, the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle in France, the UK's Natural History Museum, and CETAF - Consortium of European Taxonomic Facilities.

 Mon, 27/11/2023 Fernando Neda Scientists Use IPBES Conceptual Framework in Research to Address Environmental Discourse and Resource Understandings English (396) Researchers utilized the IPBES conceptual framework as a conceptual tool to examine and update the understanding of resource meanings and knowledge systems within historically non-sedentary societies. Researchers incorporated the concepts and methodologies outlined in the IPBES framework to analyze the connection between food customs, land knowledge, and resource understandings among non-sedentary peoples in Eurasia, specifically focusing on sturgeon aquaculture facilities in Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Turkmenistan.

"This study’s expanded IPBES model meets the call of the IPBES framework for addressing environmental discourse and resource understandings which naturalize categorical distinctions," wrote the paper's authors.

 Mon, 27/11/2023 Fernando Neda IPBES Science 'Instrumental' in Development of UNESCO Guidance for African Biosphere Reserves English (396) IPBES has been "instrumental" in the development of a new manual for decision-makers, managers and stakeholders of African biosphere reserves, and beyond, according to António Abreu, Director of UNESCO's Division of Ecological and Earth Sciences. "Filling a gap in the Man and the Biosphere community and beyond, [the] manual [provides] its readers with the necessary tools and knowledge to engage their communities in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals," states the publication.

Funded by the Belgian Science Policy Office, "Guidance for the assessment of ecosystem services in African Biosphere Reserves: a way forward to sustainable development," was developed based on a cooperation between UNESCO and the Capacities for Biodiversity and Sustainable Development (CEBIOS) programme of the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Science. "For the first time, a specific, user-friendly manual dedicated to assess ecosystem services was created for biosphere reserve managers and decision-makers, and adapted to the African biosphere reserve context."

Building on several IPBES reports, as well as its Conceptual Framework, the manual highlights how the 2019 IPBES Global Assessment underlines "the need for improved understanding of the interactions between ecosystem services and the goals and targets to end poverty and hunger and to enhance people’s well-being."
