537 | Mon, 06/02/2023 | Fernando Neda | Actress Angelia Jolie, UNESCO and Guerlain Partner to Tackle Bee Decline and Pollination Crisis Pinpointed by IPBES Pollination Assessment | English (396) | In 2021, French cosmetics house Guerlain partnered with Oscar- winning actress Angelina Jolie and UNESCO’s Women for Bees Programme to help counter the dropping rates of the world honeybee population. The five-year programme is part of a partnership between UNESCO and the LVMH group to support UNESCO’s scientific Man and the Biosphere (MAB) programme. Focusing on the protection of bees, their welfare and repopulation, as well as education on bees, the programme aims to enable women’s social emancipation through an expertise-driven sustainable professional activity. It also aims to contribute to the repopulation of bees, and to raising awareness of their importance as pollinators bearing in mind that animals play a major part in the pollination of 90% of the planet’s wild flowers. According to IPBES Assessment Report on Pollinators, Pollination and Food Production, close to 75% of all cultivated plants and 90% of wild flowering plants depend on pollinators, which includes bees. “Following the first training program in France and now this second one in Cambodia, the Women for Bees program will have trained 18 total beekeepers, all of which are well underway of creating their own beekeeping operations worldwide. And at the end of the first year of the program, we are on track to have repopulated nearly 25 million bees,” claimed Cécile Lochard, Guerlain's Chief Sustainability Officer. “Following the first training program in France and now this second one in Cambodia, the Women for Bees program will have trained 18 total beekeepers, all of which are well underway of creating their own beekeeping operations worldwide.

367 | Wed, 28/09/2022 | Patrick.Tonissen | In Light of IPBES Global Assessment Findings and Media Success, Fridtjof Nansen Institute Policy Brief Examines Implications for Norwegian Context | Writing for the Fridtjof Nansen Institute, a policy brief by Christian Prip "Towards a global deal for biodiversity with Norway as a proactive contributor," "scrutinizes the delayed process under the Convention on Biological Diversity towards a new global framework for biodiversity with goals and targets, focusing on the major issues under discussion, and contributions from Norway to the process," with a strong focus on the findings of the IPBES Global Assessment and its 'eye-opening' effect on the public. "The fact that our planet is hit by a global biodiversity crisis has attracted far less attention than the equally severe climate crisis. However, in 2019 the biodiversity crisis emerged from the shadows with the release of the Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), a UN body established in 2012. The report made media headlines worldwide, thereby confirming the expediency of establishing IPBES as nature’s counterpart to the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)." |

535 | Mon, 06/02/2023 | Fernando Neda | Guided by IPBES-IPCC Joint Workshop Report, Eurelectric Proposes Solutions for EU Clean Energy Transition while Restoring & Protecting Biodiversity | English (396) | "Renewable energy generation and ecological restoration are critical tools to combat climate change. Climate change and biodiversity loss should be tackled together," according to Eurelectric when launching its “Power Plant” project at its Power Summit held in Brussels in June 2022. Eurelectric – the 3500-member strong federation of the European electricity industry – aims to "lead Europe’s energy transition with clean electricity." In response to the IPBES-IPCC Co-Sponsored Workshop Report, the association claims it is exploring "the potential of limiting global warming while protecting biodiversity" by working with "leading utilities – including frontrunners aiming to be net contributors to biodiversity – as well as civil society, to identify best practices while deploying renewable energy and restoring nature." The project explores synergies (and proposes solutions) for biodiversity protection/restoration and solar, wind and hydro electric power, as well as electrical grids & storage. According to the association: "Electrification, supported by a massive rollout of renewables, can break the cycle of degradation, and help regenerate biodiversity...Power Plant illustrates how the electricity industry can support the natural world and regenerate biodiversity through integrated renewable energy projects." |

613 | Tue, 12/12/2023 | Fernando Neda | Asset Management Company Mirova's Social Impact Strategy Influenced by IPBES Science | English (396) | Asset management company Mirova has pledged to focus on the social impacts of its land investments around the world through a sustainable land management-dedicated strategy. Mirova offers investment solutions that combine financial performance with environmental and social impact. The newly launched Mirova Sustainable Land Fund 2 (MSLF2) has the goal of raising €350 million (US$377.8 million) over a four-to-five year period from public bodies and institutional investors. It will invest in agroforestry, sustainable forestry, and regenerative agriculture projects in developing countries. In its April 2023 report, "Mirova for Nature: Progress report on our roadmap in favour of biodiversity #2," the organization references science published in the IPBES Global Assessment (2019) and IPBES-IPCC Co-sponsored Workshop report, writing: "For Mirova, quick action by the financial sector is required well before regulations are enforced everywhere: divestment of impactful activities such as intensive agriculture & forestry, investment in nature-positive activities such as nature-based solutions and activities that reduce the five direct anthropogenic pressure drivers defined by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES)– changes in land and sea use; direct exploitation of organisms; climate change; pollution; and invasion of alien species –, but also simulation of corporates impacts to support investment decisions in the absence of sufficient data and engagement with companies to direct their climate fundings towards land-use projects in the context of net-zero commitments." "Evaluating positive impact also requires evaluation of the business-as-usual and sustainability scenario for each of the five pressure drivers on biodiversity defined by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES)... Mirova leverages collaborative engagement to encourage companies in most material sectors to accelerate the transition towards deployment of processes and development of products that mitigate negative impacts in supply chain and improve positive impact based on reduced IPBES pressures of an activity as compared to a baseline," continued the organization. "Mirova excludes activities that are most harmful to biodiversity. Globally a few activities have been identified as most harmful to biodiversity because they are the main root cause of the IPBES pressures drivers. Mirova has already published its controversial activity list on the topic of climate change and intends to update it with new exclusions related to land use and pollution, including notably deforestation-linked agricultural commodities, chemicals and plastics," the entity pledged. |

604 | Tue, 06/02/2024 | Fernando Neda | Directly Citing IPBES Report, G7 Workshop Agrees on Importance of Measures to Control & Prevent Spread of Invasive Alien Species | English (396) | At a G7 workshop held in Japan from 20 to 22 November 2023, government officials discussed the need to control Invasive Alien Species (IAS) and agreed to strengthen international cooperation on this issue, based primarily on the IPBES Invasive Alien Species Assessment Report. Informed by an international webinar held in April 2023, as well as consultations with other governments, relevant international organizations and stakeholders held on the sidelines of the 25th meeting of the CBD’s Subsidiary Body for Scientific, Technical and Technological Advice (SBSTTA), officials agreed to incorporate national invasive species strategies and action plans (NISSAPs) and/or IAS components of the national biodiversity strategies and action plans (NBSAPs) in their respective countries. The G7 officials acknowledged the value of the findings of the IPBES IAS Assessment Report and other relevant outputs of IPBES to encourage IAS-related discussions, recognizing that options exist to prevent the transport, introduction, establishment and spread of IAS, as well as to minimize their negative impacts, as reflected in the IPBES IAS report. In their statement, the officials agreed to: - Promote global, regional, and bilateral collaborations to (1) facilitate exchange of information including data, knowledge and experiences; (2) promote policy dialogue among countries on addressing IAS, including by stressing the importance of integrating biosecurity measures at international, national, and sub-national levels; and (3) develop/promote regional scale actions especially in relation to prevention, biosecurity measures and pathways. - Strengthen scientific research, global databases and information systems, including enhancing decision support tools for identification and prioritization of IAS, pathways of introduction, and sites through horizon scanning, assessment of the magnitude of impacts, risk analysis, and other methods, as well as building evidence and increasing understanding of IAS, their impacts and management options. - Promote outreach and mainstreaming through a whole-of-government and whole-of- society approach by generating awareness and education, working with Indigenous Peoples and local communities, and engaging the private sector, among other notable initiatives. - Among several capacity building actions, the officials committed to using the IPBES IAS Assessment Report and available tools and guidance of the CBD and other organizations to help support their efforts. The group intends to hold annual in-person or online meetings of relevant experts/officials to follow-up on the processes, as well as share information, experience and progress on their work at least every two years, with particular emphasis on progress towards achieving Target 6 of the GBF by 2030.
