65368	IPBES Member	France	Adèle	Fardoux	Name of the proposed evaluation (thematic) : Nature-based solutions and ecosystem services in light of a changing climate. The assessment should address the different types of NbS from the perspective of the sustainability of the ecosystem services on which they are based. The IPCC's expertise on credible climate change scenarios could contribute to this analysis by proposing scenarios or tools for analysing changes in ecological functionality. Since NbS must be and remain well integrated into the functionalities of ecosystems, having an assessment proposing parameters/methods for analysing this integration would be a support for decision-makers.

65375	IPBES Member	France	Adèle	Fardoux	Name of the proposed evaluation: Workshop on incentives, including subsidies, which are harmful to biodiversity (organised jointly with OECD). Short overall description of the request : The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, in its target 18, proposes to identify by 2025 incentives, including subsidies, that are harmful for biodiversity. The OECD has gained an expertise in this topic, focusing its work on identifying and addressing these harmful incentives. IPBES could complement this work by contributing to a better understanding of their impacts on biodiversity and its ecosystem services.

65372	IPBES Member	France	Adèle	Fardoux	Name of the proposed evaluation: Multiple values and ecosystem services of forests in the context of climate change and biodiversity loss Short overall description of the request: Ecosystem services are an integral part of biodiversity (and climate) strategies at all scales, but are currently difficult to integrate in public policy and more broadly into decisions (including the private sector’s), particularly with regard to forests. A contribution from science seems necessary to have a comprehensive mapping of the services provided by forest ecosystems, and thus be able value those services in public policies and private strategies, thereby attracting more sources of funding to preserve forests. Currently, many analyses of the ecosystem services provided by forests focus on carbon sequestration. While an approach to this component may be welcome, the aim of this methodological assessment would be to make a more thorough analysis of the range of ecosystem services provided by forests. Informing this part of the debate on the value of conserving natural habitats is now a priority and could objectify and support the will to take better account of these areas. In a second step, the assessment could be used to make a typology of the different tools that can be used to measure the ecosystem services provided by forests, and how these tools could be used to inform private and public decision-making.

65289	IPBES Member	Norway	Nina	Vik	The Nordic countries Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden jointly request IPBES to conduct an assessment covering the full range of marine ecosystems. Please find a further description in the attached document of the rationale behind this request. Issues of specific relevance to this request are: Knowledge based management o Strengthen the scientific basis for identifying the most effective means of reinforcing marine ecosystems by conservation and restoration measures, to ensure good environmental status, resilience and maintenance of key ecosystem services under a changing climate. o Identify how mitigation of climate change impacts, including nature-based solutions, can be applied in the marine environments while safeguarding benefits for biodiversity and ecosystem services. o Effects of coastal protection, including increased protection measures due to climate change and sea level rise. Dikes and other coastal protection measures often lead to significant changes in the coastal habitat, including issues with coastal squeeze. Marine biodiversity, marine ecosystems and Nature's contributions to people/ecosystem services o Synthesize scientific knowledge about trends of marine biodiversity and ecosystem services and identify critical knowledge gaps. o Assess the role of marine ecosystems in carbon sequestration, and approaches for safeguarding important areas for carbon storage. o Identify how to ensure the sustainability of the use of biological resources in a changing climate. Drivers of change o Synthesize the scientific knowledge about the trends of the main impacting drivers and suggest management options for reversing the loss of biodiversity. o Assess the interactions and cumulative effects of the main drivers of marine biodiversity loss (direct exploitation, sea use change, climate change, pollution, invasive alien species) and how they vary on a local and global scale. o Some specific anthropogenic impacts of concern to assess would be from e.g. fisheries, aquaculture, seafloor exploitation/deep sea mining (for sand, oil, minerals), pollution (including eutrophication, marine litter and noise), shipping and the impact on coastal biodiversity from increasing urbanization. o The impacts on marine biodiversity from oceanographic changes driven by CO2 emissions and climate change, affecting sea temperature (including marine heatwaves), ocean currents, ice cover, salinity, sea level and acidification.	https://www.ipbes.net/system/files/webform/requests_inputs_submissions/65289/Nordic%20Request%20to%20IPBES%20marine%20ecosystems_final_230223.pdf	The Nordic countries Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden jointly request IPBES to conduct an assessment covering the full range of marine ecosystems.

65046	IPBES Member	Spain	Noelia	Vallejo Pedregal	Taking into account the new Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework adopted at COP-15, Spain is proposing the development of a fast-track assessment on ecological connectivity by IPBES, to be built up on the basis of mandate by Decision IPBES 9/1, addressing the different elements of the Global Biodiversity Framework, where connectivity is very relevant and a key element: Goal A: The way to maintain, enhance or restore connectivity in all ecosystems in the long-term, until 2050. Target 2: How to enhance ecological connectivity through the restoration of 30 % of degraded ecosystems. Target 3: Optimal ecological connectivity between protected areas and OECMs to achieve an effective conservation of 30 per cent of terrestrial and inland water, and of coastal and marine areas. Target 4: Improving ecological connectivity for the recovery and conservation of species, and reduction of extinction risk, as well as to maintain and restore the genetic diversity. Target 6: Improving ecological connectivity but avoiding to facilitate the spread of invasive alien species. Target 12: Contributions from green and blue spaces in urban and densely populated areas to ecological connectivity. In addition, the assessment should address appropriate indicators in all of these specific context, to monitor the progress made in the achievement of the goal and targets.

65310	Observer allowed enhanced participation in line with decision IPBES-5/4		Marco	Fritz	EU Submission on for further requests, inputs and suggestions regarding the rolling work programme of IPBES up to 2030 The European Union suggests that all functions of IPBES are adequately considered and even increased in the rolling work programme up to 2030, in particular on policy support and strengthening the knowledge foundations. Their benefits have not been fully realized in the past, but are indispensable to make the generation of knowledge and capacity building successful. The concrete nature of their work will need to be defined in conjunction with the work on knowledge generation, to support the ability of science and research funding organizations to generate input and of policy bodies to be able to take up the relevant knowledge of the products and processes IPBES is generating on knowledge generation. On knowledge generation, we support the potential assessments discussed at IPBES-8 and IPBES-9. We also support the related decision of CBD COP-15, where it spells out potential fast-track assessments on 1. A fast-track assessment on integrated biodiversity-inclusive spatial planning and ecological connectivity considering such elements as land- and sea-use change and restoration; 2. A fast-track assessment on monitoring biodiversity and ecosystem services and tracking progress towards the goals and targets of the post-2020 global biodiversity framework and on baselines for assessing biodiversity loss; 3. A fast-track assessment on the impacts of pollution on biodiversity and approaches to avoid, reduce and mitigate such impacts; These products might include aspects such as evidence for achievement of post-2020 targets at global level based on analysis of global data/indicators, and considering interactions/overlaps/conflicts between targets; methodologies to assess whether Parties contributions to global goals and targets are adequate; evidence of progress towards 2050 goals and projections of trends of indicators towards 2050 and beyond; review of evidence regarding options to address areas of underperformance, possible actions and evidence to support further intermediate targets (2040); synergies/trade-offs between goals/targets of SDGs and other MEAs (Paris Agreement, UN Decade of Restoration, UNCCD etc.); data management, indicators, and modelling approaches. We are open for any format these products take, whether integrated into the global assessment, as fast-track or other assessments, and in any other adequate form.

62284	Other relevant stakeholder	Centre Scientifique de Monaco	Jeanne Marie NATHALIE	Hilmi	It is important to see how nature can be considered as a natural capital and included in the wealth (balance sheets) of the countries and help to achieve the SDGs (debt-nature swaps). Without the law and regulation (and political will), nature is just an asset (we can calculate its monetary value thanks to the ecosystem services valuation). So I suggest to develop a framework where nature becomes a natural capital, along with the other forms of capital.	https://www.ipbes.net/system/files/webform/requests_inputs_submissions/62284/710546_Manuscript-2-1.PDF	It is important to see how nature can be considered as a natural capital and included in the wealth (balance sheets) of the countries and help to achieve the SDGs (debt-nature swaps).

62289	Other relevant stakeholder	University of São Paulo / International Academy of Science, Health & Ecology	André Francisco	Pilon	In view of the need to restore the broken bonds between governance, politics, economics, culture, the environment and ethics in the contemporary world, the search for desirable goals and the exploration of new paths to reach them depend on the analysis of the role of present paradigms of growth, power, wealth, work and freedom embedded into the political, technological, economic and educational institutions and on new strategies do deal with them. The challenges are more conceptual, civic and political than technical ones: institutional capacity, judicial neutrality, information transparency, social spaces for enlightened civic engagement are fundamental aspects to deal with the deterioration of collective responsibility and social functions of the state. This implies the consideration and a thorough understanding of the complex linkages between the global obliteration of traditional cultures and the destruction of the environment by the dominant political, economic and cultural contemporary actors. Earth’s regeneration and mankind’s regeneration, as faces of the same coin, should be addressed simultaneously, in space and time, for their mutual support. Goals and new paths to reach them contemplate a set of values, norms and policies that prioritizes socio-ecological objectives, human well-being, natural and built environments, the aesthetic, ethical and cultural meaning of the existence, encompassing all dimensions of being in the world (intimate, interactive, social and biophysical), as they interact to elicit, maintain or transform the events.

65316	Other relevant stakeholder	French Foundation for Research on Biodiversity (FRB)	Coline	Léandre	Under 1. Assessing knowledge > Thematic assessment on pollution (4 years) : Globally, land/sea use change is the most common direct driver threatening assessed species, followed by (in descending order of prevalence) direct exploitation, pollution, invasive alien species and climate change (IPBES, 2019). The IPBES land degradation assessment, the recent assessment on the sustainable use of wild species, the upcoming assessment on invasive alien species and the recent joint report with IPCC on biodiversity and climate change all directly focus on those drivers of biodiversity loss. However, there is a missing assessment on pollution, even though it is qualified as the third most important driver affecting biodiversity and ecosystem services worldwide. There are many types of pollution and most of them are still increasing, with negative impacts for nature. As cited in IPBES global assessment “Although global trends are mixed, air, water and soil pollution have continued to increase in some areas”. Pollution affect every ecosystem (marine, atmosphere, …) and can directly human health. Understanding the different kind of pollution, how they affect biodiversity and how to mitigate its effect is therefore of upmost importance.		Under 1.

Assessing knowledge > Thematic assessment on Biodiversity and Taxation : To address the links between biodiversity loss and taxation, through two prisms: - taxation that is harmful to biodiversity: on a global scale, take stock of the main harmful subsidies (or other tax measures: exemptions, reduced rates, etc.) that encourage/finance activities that are harmful to biodiversity. - tax incentives: on a global scale, to take stock of the tax systems in place, particularly in the areas of ecological compensation, restoration and ecosystem conservation (e.g. conservation easements), which encourage the preservation and conservation of biodiversity, or at least better consideration of biodiversity through better practices (e.g. Common Agricultural Policy).

Assessing knowledge > Thematic evaluation on urban plans, architecture and social and environmental pressures on biodiversty : Based on the observation that a majority of the population now lives in cities, that urban densification can mitigate the impact of human beings on natural habitats. : state of the art of international scientific knowledge on the impact of current urban forms on biodiversity, projections on future urban forms, propose some ideas to avoid the ""dystopian city"" for the future and improve nature in the city. Based on projections of the rate of urbanization and demography, urban forms will become increasingly important and will have a growing impact on biodiversity and life in society: artificialization, food resource production and distribution area, waste flows, energy consumption, health and social crises, etc. This assesment would present, by using the systematic review technics for instance: - a ""state of the art"" of research in the thematics ""biodiversity and urban areas"", ""urban biodiverity"", ""urban models biodiversity footprint"", ""biodiversity and urban citizen health"" - make a review or propose some tools to assess the impact of cities on biodiversity, including building material and architecture, and flows like water, waste, food and energy, etc. (in the assessment, a tool like LBI - local biodiversity index- could be analyzed, to quantify different gains and loss of biodiversity in different projects, by characterizing ecological functions, and by taking into account surface and connectivity of the project with the surrounding environment). - propose some guidance, good practices or issues to take into account to the policy makers, architects and urban developers.

Assessing knowledge > Methodological evaluation on ethno-socio-economic confrontation of the models of evaluation of biodiversity and ecosystems and of the associated economic tools This assessment would establish an ethno-socio-economic confrontation of the models for evaluating biodiversity and ecosystems and the associated economic tools (for example, the school of Jacques Weber and Jacques Richard), with ethnographic and sociological models of human-non-human nature relations (for example, those proposed by P.Descola). Through a methodological approach, as has been done for the evaluation of values, this evaluation would propose an alternative to the existing tools to get out of a vision inherited from the world of technology to go beyond the description of species and ecosystems with an academic approach to "biology" in order to understand in what way the narratives presuppose paradigms of control, of mastery, placing the human being in an "overhang", and therefore unable to grasp the very object of the study in a new perspective.
