South-East Europe regional session O2 at the 4th ESP conference

October 27, 2022 by Iskra Categories: ESP conference, Member post, News

ESP South-East Europe Regional Chapter and its leads, Stoyan Nedkov and Jeroen Arends supported by Hristina Prodanova and Vanya Stoycheva organized a regional session at the 4th ESP Europe Regional conference that took place in Heraklion, Greece from 10 to 14 October 2022.

The session O2 – “Biodiversity and ecosystem services in South-East Europe: Research challenges and application issues towards a community of practice” included participants from several countries (Bulgaria, North Macedonia and Turkey) and affiliations (academic, private sector, and students). The outcomes of the session include an idea to prepare a proposal for cross-walking and improving ecosystem mapping and ecosystem services; the development of a community of practice towards the exchange of knowledge and capacity building; interrelationships between different aspects of ecosystems mapping.

Ecosystem based approach on adaptation to climate change in Kazakhstan

September 28, 2021 by Iskra Categories: Blog posts, Member post, News

According to international estimates, Kazakhstan belongs to the group of countries most vulnerable to climate change. Measurements show that the average annual temperature in Kazakhstan is growing faster than the global average. At the same time, water resourcescarcity and the frequency of droughts, the number of extreme weather events and heat waves are increasing. All of this has a major impact on all sectors of the economy and on human health, food security and natural ecosystems, and requires urgent adaptation measures.

In accordance with the obligations and on UNFCCC Kazakhstan has started development of a roadmap on adaptation to climate change. Recently accepted the Environmental Code provides, that the roadmap will serve as a basis for planning and integrating climate change adaptation activities in the economic sectors, that are legally defined as priorities[1], as well as in regional programs, implemented by local governments.

Mind submitting abstract to session T14 about Green Infrastructures, next ESP Europe meeting in Tartu

February 9, 2021 by Categories: Collaboration calls, Member post, News, Upcoming events

Hi Everyone, I would like to invite you to submit abstract for the session I’m co-hosting during the coming ESP Europe meeting in Tartu, T14 – Recent Advances in green and blue infrastructure ecosystem services and disservices.

From rural to urban spaces
Our session aims to present recent research results regarding GBI, their ecological characteristics, functions and the ecosystem services they deliver in different context, but also to address the policyscapes and stakeholder interactions controlling their management and planning, as well as the integration of citizens interests, preferences and participation regarding GBI, through CS actions.

TWG10: Tips and tricks to combine multiple methods to assess ES and their trade-offs

June 23, 2020 by Iskra Categories: Blog posts, Member post, News

Ecosystems or landscapes provide multiple ecosystems services. Sometimes the simultaneous delivery of several desired/demanded ES is not possible, strongly inhibit each other, or initiate conflict: we talk about “ES trade-offs”. On the other hand, the delivery of some ecosystem services enhance the delivery of other ecosystem services: in that case, we talk about “synergies”. A trade-off can potentially result in a conflict between users, depending on who bears the burden and who benefits from the ES supply (TEEB, 2010; Turkelboom et al., 2017).  [Read more…] about TWG10: Tips and tricks to combine multiple methods to assess ES and their trade-offs
