195 | Fri, 19/08/2022 | Patrick.Tonissen | IPBES Global Assessment 'Inspires Global Poster Contest' in Collaboration with UNEP | English (396) | The 16th International Poster Biennial contest has chosen biodiversity as the focus of its environmental category, partly in response to the urgency highlighted by the IPBES Global Assessment. "The scale of the current biodiversity breakdown is unparalleled; the IPBES report warns that more than a third of all marine mammals, more than 40 percent of amphibian species and 10 percent of insects are threatened." | New/changed action/initiative | Website | Biodiversity loss inspires global poster contest - UNEP | Biodiversity loss inspires global poster contest - UNEP | https://www.unenvironment.org/news-and-stories/press-release/biodiversity-loss-inspires-global-poster-contest | Global Assessment | 2020-01-22 | Global | Mexico | public | Patrick | Tonissen | IPBES | Consultant | Secretariat: Bonn | |||||||||||||
219 | Fri, 19/08/2022 | Anonymous | Study on Belief-Based Nature Conservation Draws on IPBES Conceptual Framework | English (396) | Researchers at the University of Greifswald have published a study titled “The Values of Sacred Swamps: Belief-Based Nature Conservation in a Secular World”, which draws on the conceptual framework of IPBES. The results of the study “underscore the importance of a focus on nature’s contributions to people’s quality of life in the new IPBES (Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services) conceptual framework that reflects the importance of socio-cultural relations between people and nature for nature conservation in a specific place (Diaz et al. 2018).” |

222 | Fri, 19/08/2022 | Anonymous | Research Paper on Nature’s Contributions to Adaptation Draws on IPBES Conceptual Framework of Nature’s Contributions to People | English (396) | A research paper published in the journal “Ecosystems and People” draws on the IPBES conceptual framework of nature’s contributions to people. The paper, titled “Nature’s contribution to adaptation: insights from examples of the transformation of social-ecological systems”, concludes that the plurality of human-nature relationships included in the IPBES conceptual framework is “is needed to integrate ecosystem transformation into adaptation thinking and action while engaging a diversity of actors with differing world views.” The authors accordingly frame “the capacity of ecosystems under climate change to enable future human needs under the IPBES framework of nature’s contributions to people” and “introduce the concept of Nature’s Contribution to Adaptation (NCA) as a means to operationalise transformative adaptation, emphasising the need to create options for society to transform under ecosystem transformation.” |
