465 | Fri, 19/08/2022 | bcurley1012 | The Artwork of Julie Sperling, Canadian Mosaic Artist and Environment Policy Analyst, is an Emotional Response to Key IPBES Assessment Findings and is a Call to Action for Transformative Change | English (396) | In a blog post Julie Sperling, Canadian mosaic artist and policy analyst with Environment and Climate Change Canada, cites key findings from IPBES Global Assessment, and makes personal and intimate the loss of global biodiversity through her art. Her loon explosion, titled ”In The Red”, showcasing the quintessentially Canadian loon, is meant to echo the idea of “annihilation”. The title is a nod to the International Union for Concerned Scientists’ "Red List" of Threatened Species, while the loon is hemmed in by concrete, which is an allusion to the rampant habitat destruction that’s fueling the current biological annihilation. Her art is a call to action: "So look into that loon’s eyes, harness the uneasiness, sadness, loss, guilt, rage, or whatever else you might feel, and channel it. I’ll be right there with you, fighting for our existence". | Other | Expressive arts | Website | Their annihilation will also be ours: Exploring extinction through art | Their annihilation will also be ours: Exploring extinction through art | http://sperlingmosaics.com/2019/05/their-annihilation-will-also-be-ours-exploring-extinction-through-art/ | 2021-05-12 | Americas | Канада | private | Britt | Curley | IPBES | Programme Management Assistant - Communications | Secretariat: Bonn | |||||||||||||
445 | Fri, 19/08/2022 | Anonymous | Paper Cites IPBES in Case Study Seeking to Identify Link Between Potential Futures and the Values Underpinning Them in Protected Land Areas in Czechia | English (396) | Drawing on IPBES Methodological Assessment Report's "future thinking", an approach helping people to understand and tackle complex sustainability, this study aims to address the gap between understanding the scope of the root causes of human decisions and actions, and the link between anthropogenic drivers and their potential future impacts on nature in local regions. Through the design and implementation of a local-scale participatory value-based scenario building process, this study explores the relationships between (1) multiple types of values, (2) actions taken by different types of stakeholders, and (3) their potential impacts on nature, nature’s contributions to people (including ecosystem services) and good quality of life. This paper summarizes the results and lessons learnt from an array of value-based participatory scenario-building processes in the context of Protected Land Areas in a Czechia, in Central Europe, and reflects on the utility of value-based participatory scenario planning as a means to strengthen sustainable governance. | New/changed idea | Website | Linking multiple values of nature with future impacts: value-based participatory scenario development for sustainable landscape governance | Linking multiple values of nature with future impacts: value-based participatory scenario development for sustainable landscape governance | https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11625-021-00953-8 | 2021-05-12 | Europe and Central Asia | Чехия | public | Britt | Curley | IPBES | Assistant Programme Management-Communications | Secretariat: Bonn |
