573 | 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. |

586 | Fri, 17/11/2023 | Fernando Neda | Citing IPBES Reports, 200 Health Journals Urge WHO to Declare Nature Crisis as Health Emergency | English (396) | Over 200 health journals have urged the World Health Organization to declare the climate and nature crisis as a global health emergency. To make their case, the authors cite science published in the report for the IPBES-IPCC co-sponsored workshop on biodiversity and climate change (2021). "The research communities that provide the evidence for the 2 COPs [...] were brought together for a workshop in 2020 when they concluded that 'Only by considering climate and biodiversity as parts of the same complex problem…can solutions be developed that avoid maladaptation and maximize the beneficial outcomes'", they explained. "Globally, about a fifth of people rely on wild species for food and their livelihoods," also quoted the authors, taking from the IPBES Assessment report on the sustainable use of wild species (2022). The editorial was published in leading titles from around the world, including The BMJ, The Lancet, JAMA, the Medical Journal of Australia, the East African Medical Journal, the National Medical Journal of India and Dubai Medical Journal. |

593 | Wed, 22/11/2023 | Fernando Neda | Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability Publishes Special Journal Issue Focused on IPBES Values Assessment | English (396) | The October 2023 edition (Volume 64) of the journal Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability was published as a special issue focusing on the IPBES Values Assessment, with 15 articles exploring nature’s values, transformative change and sustainability, and other related themes. In it's Editorial Overview titled "Leveraging the multiple values of nature for transformative change to just and sustainable futures — Insights from the IPBES Values Assessment," the authors state: "This special issue draws on the IPBES Values Assessment published in 2022 and engages with key questions about the role of values and valuation of nature for transformative change towards more just and sustainable futures. The special issue presents papers that review topics about how to conceptualise value diversity and undertake valuation to guide decisions geared towards transformative change. It also focuses on how power, justice and socio-environmental conflicts intersect with nature’s values, and the role of diverse values in conservation and development policy instruments." The "Values for transformative change: The IPBES approach" special edition was edited by Unai Pascual, Patricia Balvanera and Mike Christie - the three co-Chairs of the IPBES Assessment. |

603 | Mon, 27/11/2023 | Fernando Neda | Researchers Operationalize IPBES Nature Futures Framework to Catalyze Development of Nature-Future Scenarios | English (396) | Members of the IPBES task force on scenarios and models have provided an example of how the Nature Futures Framework can be implemented for the development of illustrative narratives representing a diversity of desirable nature futures: information that can be used to assess and develop scenarios and models whilst acknowledging the underpinning value perspectives on nature. To explore the interdependence between narratives, and therefore their potential to be translated into scenarios and models, six narratives developed were assessed around three areas of the transformative change debate, specifically, (1) land sparing vs. land sharing, (2) Half Earth vs. Whole Earth conservation, and (3) green growth vs. post-growth economic development. The paper concludes with an assessment of how the Nature Futures Framework could be used to assist in developing and articulating transformative pathways towards desirable nature futures. The article is part of the Sustainability Science journal's Special Feature: Operationalizing the Nature Futures Framework to Catalyze the Development of Nature-Future Scenarios. |

439 | Mon, 04/04/2022 | Anonymous | At First Nobel Prize Summit EU President Ursula von der Leyen Says IPBES Work "Essential to Build Consensus Around Our Planet's State of Health" | English (396) | In a video recorded message on the occasion of the First Nobel Prize Summit, held virtually from 26 to 28 April 2021, Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, outlined three reasons why, and three ways how, governments need to work with science. First, "we need science to make sense of the world around us. Second, we need science to guide us. And third, we need science to find new solutions to the challenges of our times, and to fuel innovation for a healthy planet." On her second point the President pointed to Europe's close work with the three international panels that bring science to the table of policy-makers: IPCC for climate, IPBES for biodiversity and IRP for resources and the circular economy. "Their advice has been essential to build an international consensus around our planet's state of health. It is now time to find ways for these platforms to work better together. Because everything is connected. One health, one planet, one humanity. So we must also join up our work on climate, on biodiversity and on circularity. For a more effective multilateralism, guided by science." |
