The thematic assessment report of The Underlying Causes of Biodiversity Loss and the Determinants of Transformative Change and Options for Achieving The 2050 Vision for Biodiversity

2024-12-19T15:17:04+01:00

On Wednesday, 18 December 2024, the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) launched its Assessment Report on the underlying causes of biodiversity loss, determinants of transformative change and options for achieving the 2050 Vision for Biodiversity (known as the “Transformative Change Report”). The Report assesses the determinants of transformative change, the biggest obstacles it faces and how it occurs. It also identifies achievable options to foster, accelerate and maintain transformative change towards a sustainable world, and the steps to achieve global visions for transformative change.

Nexus Assessment Report on Interlinkages among, Biodiversity, Water, Food and Health

2024-12-19T15:17:14+01:00

On Tuesday, 17 December 2024, the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) launched its Assessment Report on the interlinkages among biodiversity, water, food and health, in the context of climate change (known as the “Nexus Report”). The Report will be of direct interest and value to anyone who works in or reports on these fields. The Report highlights opportunities for action within and across the nexus elements of biodiversity, water, food, health and climate change, uncovering complementarities and trade-offs among response options relating to each. It demonstrates how addressing one element can impact others – both positively and [...]

IPBES: actie voor biodiversiteit is nu nodig – en mogelijk

2024-12-19T15:32:42+01:00

Verandering om verder biodiversiteitsverlies tegen te gaan is urgenter dan ooit én haalbaar, stelt het IPBES, het biodiversiteitspanel van de Verenigde Naties. In twee rapporten die deze week verschenen, roept het panel overheden wereldwijd op om een samenhangend beleid te maken dat biodiversiteit, klimaatverandering, water, voedsel en gezondheid aanpakt. Voor Nederland, waar uitdagingen zoals de stikstofcrisis en overstromingsrisico’s druk uitoefenen op mens en natuur, bieden de IPBES-rapporten een routekaart naar een duurzame toekomst. Het gaat niet goed met de biodiversiteit. Ook Nederland ligt niet op koers om de biodiversiteitsdoelen voor 2030 te halen, laat het Nationaal Dashboard Biodiversiteit zien. Toch is [...]

Scenarios and models assessment

2024-12-19T15:17:28+01:00

Methodological Assessment Report on Scenarios and Models of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services The Scenarios and Models Assessment, published in 2016, presents a best-practice 'toolkit' for the use of scenarios and models in decision-making on biodiversity, human-nature relationships, and the quality of life. The 'toolkit' helps governments, private sector, and civil society to anticipate change - such as the loss of habitats, invasive alien species, and climate shifts - to reduce the negative impacts on people and to make use of important opportunities. The Plenary approved the Summary for Policymakers and accepted the chapters of the Assessment at its 4th session in [...]

Guide on the production of assessments

2024-12-19T15:17:34+01:00

IPBES has been mandated to develop a guide to help address conceptual, procedural and practical aspects of IPBES assessments at all scales, and to promote consistency across different scales. Accordingly, the Multidisciplinary Expert Panel, supported by time-bound expert group, has developed a guide that serves as a ‘Roadmap’ and to focus on key elements assessment practitioners may want to take into account when undertaking an assessment within the context of IPBES. The Guide has been developed for experts who are taking part in assessments approved under IPBES be they thematic, methodological or general assessments of biodiversity and ecosystems at global, regional [...]
