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)." |
