IPBES was recognized specifically for the Global Assessment and the platform's "decisive role in outlining the drivers of biodiversity loss, communicating the magnitude of the problem and laying the groundwork for a new agenda and transformative change in relation to biodiversity." "IPBES has had a decisive role in outlining the drivers of biodiversity loss, communicating the magnitude of the problem and laying the groundwork for a new agenda and transformative change in relation to biodiversity. Through their methodology, which includes research in both natural and social science as well as including the importance of indigenous peoples’ knowledge and experience, they have increased the opportunities for evidence-based decision making by policymakers. Since its inception in 2012, by engaging and uniting the world’s nations around the issue of biodiversity, IPBES has played a crucial role in setting the groundwork for the change we need to address this crisis in the near future."

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 | ||||||||||||||

562 | Wed, 19/04/2023 | SBarudanovic | Bosnia and Herzegovina Uses IPBES Outputs to Inform National Ecosystem Assessment | Bosnian (26207) | Bosnia and Herzegovina, under the coordination of UNEP-WCMC, and with the support of IKI, is carrying out a National Ecosystem Assessment that startes from the IPBES conceptual framework, with the use of key findings from a number of IPBES Assessment Reports - especially from the Europe and Central Asia Regional Assessment Report. Bosnia and Herzegovina strives to assess its own knowledge that is relevant for better informed decisions about biodiversity and nature's contributions to people. The lack of relevant data and indicators encouraged the team, gathered from scientists from all over Bosnia and Herzegovina, to think innovatively about the simple use of significant, but scattered knowledge. As a result, for the first time, they are talking about mapping NCP/ecosystem services, direct and indirect drivers and scenarios for biodiversity in the country. |
