Meet the IPBES Nature Futures Framework for scenarios and planning | ESP World Conference webinar

March 19, 2025 by YESS admin Categories: News, Upcoming events

Organised jointly by the Young ES Specialists (YESS), the Ecosystem Services Partnership (ESP), and the IPBES Task Force on Scenarios and Models.

Webinar: Future scenario analysis and planning of biodiversity and ecosystem services by using the Nature Futures Framework from local to national scales

Poster for the event described on this pageDate: 21 March 2025, 10:00 CET / 18:00 JST

The Nature Futures Framework (NFF) is a flexible tool designed to support the development of scenarios and models of desirable futures for people, nature and Mother Earth. Following the 2016 Scenarios and models assessment, the IPBES scenarios and models expert group developed this framework. The NFF has since been applied to diverse research questions in equally diverse locations. This webinar is a preview of the session T6 a ESP 11 World Conference and part of the project “Development of an Integrated Assessment Model linking Biodiversity and Socio-Economic Drivers, and its Social Application” (IAM-B).

Join us for this webinar to

  • learn about the background and development of the Nature Futures Framework.
  • hear about technical updates to the NFF.
  • explore case studies in Japan.

We will further provide a peek into the NFF Community of Practice engaging with IPBES that was recently formalised in 2024 and that you are invited to join.

Edited post from Franziska Fischer from ONet

Photo by hcsh! on Flickr: Foggy wetland on the island of Hokkaido in Japan. Chihiro Haga et al. (2023) modelled desirable futures at local scale by combining the Nature Futures Framework (NFF) and multi-objective optimisation. For their study, they chose the Bekanbeushi River watershed in North-eastern Japan on Hokkaido, whereby the Bekanbeushi River wetland — located in the middle of the watershed — had been listed in the Ramsar Convention in 1993. Find out more in their publication. For further practical examples that apply the NFF, see the NFF website.
