 Tue, 12/12/2023 Fernando Neda Elaborating on IPBES Nature Futures Framework to Enhance Social Equity of Biodiversity Conservation for Indigenous Peoples English (396) A new perspective paper published in the journal Biological Conversation proposes a scenario titled “Rights for Life” to achieve biodiversity targets "in a socially-equitable ways by focusing on the Nature's and Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs) rights."

Building on the IPBES Nature Futures Framework, the authors "contribute to understanding of governance aspects in positive nature-based future scenarios by considering what kinds of governance approaches could be used to achieve the 'Rights for Life' scenario in a way that is able to balance between the value perspectives of 'Nature for Nature', 'Nature for Society', and 'Nature as Culture'."

Also citing the IPBES Global Assessment and preliminary work for the IPBES Values Assessment, the authors note that "IPBES (2019) has recognized the need to enhance social equity for IPLCs, and that among the local indicators developed and used by indigenous peoples and local communities, 72 % show negative trends in nature that underpin local livelihoods and human well-being."

The authors recommend linking to future policy-relevant scenario exercises conducted by applying the Nature Futures Framework and the three value perspectives, as well as recognizing IPLCs' and Nature's rights explicitly in policies and laws to enable transformation towards sustainability.

 Mon, 31/10/2022 Fernando Neda Scientists Commend IPBES Global Assessment But Call for Broader Conservation Science and Policy for Ecosystem Services and Nature's Contributions to People English (396) An academic article published in the peer-reviewed journal 'Biological Conservation' argues that key players such as IPBES "continue to prioritise human wellbeing above all else" and that "this prioritisation may stem from an anthropocentric culture that typically considers humans to be separate from and of greater value than other species." Scientists point out that more is needed "than merely technical advances or policies that remain mired in anthropocentric assumptions"and they call for "fundamental changes in how we view and value nature and other species."

Referring to the 2019 IPBES Global Assessment of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, the authors call the report "commendable for attempting to include a wider range of environmental worldviews and values as a basis for biodiversity conservation". Authors emphasize, however, "that its approach remains human-centered. Non-human species are still valued only instrumentally, in terms of what they can provide for us." For this, the scientists request a "shift towards ecocentrism, a moral point of view in which every species and ecosystem type is seen as having intrinsic value."

 Fri, 17/11/2023 Qihan-Huang Motivated by IPBES Global Assessment, Secretary-General of China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF) Signs the Petition for Global Deal for Nature English (396) In response to the release of the IPBES 2019 Global Assessment Report, Dr. Zhou Jinfeng, the Secretary-General of China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF), has signed the Petition for Global Deal for Nature (GDN) which is calling on the world leaders to protect half of our lands and seas.
The Report by IPBES discloses the worrying current situation of our nature: species extinction, wildlife decline, habitat loss, and exhausted ecological resources. According to the petition, "these systems are being thrown dangerously off balance by an onslaught of human activities. From pesticides on our fields to plastics choking our oceans to bulldozers in our forests, all over the planet, the natural world is under assault."
Dr. Zhou Jinfeng said, “we must change our lifestyle and production mode in a radical way. We should abandon the values of changing and conquering the nature obtained in the industrial civilization and develop new values of respecting and conserving nature. It is essential to protect earth resources, biodiversity, and natural habitats, and take actions to maintain the balance of the ecosystem, thus achieving sustainable development and creating a community of shared future for mankind. This is the inexorable trend of civilization development."

 Tue, 18/10/2022 Anonymous Irish National Children and Young People's Assembly on Biodiversity Loss Uses Global Assessment to Focus Thematic Discussions English (396) Ireland's first-ever national Childen and Young People's Assembly on Biodiversity Loss has been taking place for some of the country's youngest citizens to talk about how to better protect and restore biodiversity in Ireland. Aged 7-17, the children and young people are meeting in two weekend workshops to participate in biodiversity-themed discussions, nature trails and problem-solving brainstorming sessions.

Although focused on national issues of nature loss, organiser Diarmuid Torney said: "The work of IPBES has informed our planning for the assembly in important ways. Probably the most important way in which we have drawn on IPBES findings is that we have divided the group of 35 assembly members into five thematic groups, each of which has been allocated one of the five key direct drivers of biodiversity loss as identified in the 2019 IPBES Global Assessment Report." The finding of one million species of plants and animals at risk of extinction has also provided a global context to the discussions.

 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.
