578 | 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." |

490 | Wed, 14/09/2022 | Anonymous | Ernst & Young, Microsoft and Earth Knowledge Leverage IPBES Global Assessment Findings in New Joint Report on Financial Services for Conservation, Sustainability and Biodiversity | English (396) | Leveraging findings from the IPBES Global Assessment (2019), a new report by EY, Microsoft, and Earth Knowledge warns that the financial industry runs the danger of doing enormous harm to both itself and businesses across the world if it doesn't utilize its "huge influence" to halt behaviors that hurt the environment. The report states that the largest investment banks in the world provided $2.6 trillion in loans and underwriting services related to the destruction of nature in 2019 alone. The analysis, however, claims that there is still hope. It highlights large, unrealized profit prospects for the financial services industry related to biodiversity, sustainability, and conservation. The financial industry may benefit from an estimated $800 billion annual biodiversity funding gap by fostering nature's resilience, productivity, and adaptation. If the world is to reach its climate change, biodiversity, and land degradation commitments, this investment must triple in real terms by 2030 and quadruple by 2050. | New/changed research project | Website | Financial sector has ‘great power’ to stop biodiversity loss and reap the rewards of being ‘nature positive’, report reveals | Financial sector has ‘great power’ to stop biodiversity loss and reap the rewards of being ‘nature positive’, report reveals | https://news.microsoft.com/en-gb/2021/10/13/financial-sector-has-great-power-to-stop-biodiversity-loss-and-reap-the-rewards-of-being-nature-positive-report-reveals/ | 2021-10-13 | Global | private | Fernando | Neda | IPBES | PIA | Secretariat: Bonn | [email protected] | ||||||||||||||
