New report of the biodiversity impact mitigation hierarchy with the contribution of our expert

August 9, 2023 by Veronika Kiss Categories: Member post, News, Publications

A new report from the Eklipse Mitigation Hierarchy Working Group was recently published compiling the extensive analytical work of three years in the make.

The report aims to provide an overview of the state of knowledge regarding how we can improve adherence to the Mitigation Hierarchy (how biodiversity impacts can first be avoided, then mitigated and compensated), with a particular focus on the avoid stage especially in projects impacting nature.

Webinar: Traditional knowledge for financial stability

July 20, 2023 by Iskra Categories: News, Upcoming events

Sustainable Finance for Biodiversity (SF4B) will hold a webinar on traditional knowledge for financial stability, with guest speaker Kamaljit Sangha – Associate Professor in Ecological Economics at Charles Darwin University and long standing ESP member. The event will take place 24 August 2023, 16h (CET), 9h (COL), 11h (São Paulo); with interpretation in Spanish, Portuguese and English.

Description
Millennia-old traditional knowledge has proven to align with planetary boundaries and enable stability. These inspiring practices offer sustainable ways to address biodiversity loss and the climate change crisis, bringing together indigenous , local communities’ and investors’ interests. Nevertheless, mainstreamed sustainable finance discourses continue to place their hopes on Western science-based information, often navigating political compromises.

ESP Working group on Governance & Institutional aspects of ES organises strategic workshop

July 20, 2023 by Iskra Categories: Collaboration calls, News, Upcoming events

Dear ESP Colleagues,

Our thematic working group No 18 on governance and institutional aspects looks back on more than a decade of dedicated activities to strengthen a socio-political focus on ecosystem services provision and coordination. As a core of our activities, we regularly organise thematic sessions at ESP Europe and ESP World conferences, have successfully edited three special issues on governance of ecosystem services in the journal Ecosystem Services, and working group members engaged in various joint projects.

However, by now the working group faces the challenges of lacking active and engaged members and fresh ideas. Therefore, we believe it is a good moment to put our heads together and to reflect on past activities, the goals and objectives of our TWG18 and revise and adjust them to recent developments and future needs.

Therefore, we would like to invite you to join us in a strategic reflection and brainstorming workshop about the envisioned future TWG18 activities and impacts on November 13-14 in Brussels, Belgium.
