On LinkedIn, we like to dress up our job titles. But when it comes to nature, that professional polish is actually scientific facts. 🧪
The @ipbes #PollinationAssessment found that 75% of our food crops & nearly 90% of wild flowering plants depend at least to some extent on animal pollination.

Am Bistro mat der woxx #372 – Wat Wirtschaft a Biodiversitéit mateneen ze dinn hunn
All Woch bitt d’woxx Iech an hirem Podcast en Abléck an hir journalistesch Aarbecht a beliicht d’Hannergrënn vun engem Artikel.
De Weltbiodiversitéitsrot IPBES ass fir d’Biodiversitéit dat, wat de Weltklimarot IPCC fir d’Klima ass. Een neie Rapport vun dësem Expert*innengremium beschäftegt sech mat der Relatioun tëscht Ekonomie an Ökologie. Wien elo mengt, datt et jo souwisou kloer ass, datt d’Wirtschaft d’Ëmwelt zerstéiert, läit zwar net ganz falsch, mä ganz korrekt ass et och net: Vill Beräicher vun eiser Ekonomie hänken direkt oder indirekt vum Zoustand vun der Natur of. Am Podcast diskutéieren d’Melanie Czarnik an d’María Elorza Saralegui iwwert dës Zesummenhäng. Si schwätzen awer och kuerz iwwert dem US-Präsident Trump seng nei Politik zu den Zäregasen.
Den Artikel, iwwert dee mir geschwat hunn: Die Wirtschaft schießt sich ins Knie

Veel aandacht deze dagen voor de fasttrack assessment van #IPBES over #businessandbiodiversity. Het bedrijfsleven, de economie, kan niet zonder natuur. Maar hoe meet je impact en afhankelijkheden? Welke dingen kun je doen? Allemaal belangrijke vragen - maar naast theorieën over #transformativechange hebben we vooral ook behoefte aan een praktijk. Wie om zich heen kijkt ziet dat de #transitie al lang begonnen is.

Na een dag ruime media aandacht voor #ipbes #businessandbiodiversity ook een achtergrondartikel.
Hoe kan dat er in de praktijk uitzien, die #transformativechange? Want we hoeven nergens op te wachten, de verandering is al lang begonnen.

Businesses Can Either Lead Transformative Change or Risk Extinction
Businesses Can Either Lead Transformative Change or Risk Extinction All Businesses Depend on and Impact Nature
"Business-as-usual Incentives are Driving Nature’s Decline
The loss of biodiversity is among the most serious threats to business
100+ Concrete Actions for Governments, Financial Actors & Civil Society""Every business depends on biodiversity, and every business impacts biodiversity. The growth of the global economy has been at the cost of immense biodiversity loss, which now poses a critical and pervasive systemic risk to the economy, financial stability and human wellbeing. This is a central finding of a landmark new report published today by the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES)."
“Yet the twisted reality is that it often seems more profitable to businesses to degrade biodiversity than to protect it. Business as usual may once have seemed profitable in the short term, but impacts across multiple businesses can have cumulative effects, aggregating to global impacts, which can cross ecological tipping points. The Report shows that business as usual is not inevitable – with the right policies, as well as financial and cultural shifts, what is good for nature is also what is best for profitability. To get there, the Report offers tools for choosing more effective measurements and analysis.”
"The Report provides more than 100 specific examples of concrete actions that can be taken, across each of these five components, by businesses, governments, financial actors and civil society."

"𝐖𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬. 𝐖𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠."
These words struck me. I was talking to IPCC author @wolfgangcramer as part of the train tour promoting my book Science in Resistance.
After we sang the Dies Irae together at SR's concert by the Eiffel Tower, commemorating yet another failure of global #climate politics at #COP30, we both traveled south to Marseille, where I presented my book Science in Resistance.
Wolfgang told me how, back in 2022, he and 11 other #IPCC and #IPBES authors met with President #Macron. After sitting with him for two hours, alerting him about climate and societal breakdown, and the need to urgently transform our economies away from infinite growth, they achieved nothing. No change in mind. No change in policy. Nothing.
This, to me, perfectly illustrates why appealing to power is no longer something we should be doing as scientists, as academics and generally as change-makers.
As I explain in my book, we need to build #power instead - In both the streets and inside our work and living places, democratizing them, decolonizing them and making them fit for social and ecological change. And crucially, pushing them towards exnovation - dismantling all the fossil structures keeping us depressed, isolated, profitable, and in chains.
You can get my book here: https://www.ucpress.edu/books/science-in-resistance/paper

Daarnaast beschikken we over veel goede data over bodem, water, landgebruik en condities. En hebben we veel kennisinstellingen die daar allerlei verkenningen, evaluaties en ingreep-effect analyses op loslaten.
We zijn, met andere woorden, heel goed in #natuurmonitoring. Het International Platform for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services #IPBES heeft komende weken haar #monitoringassessment ter inzage en het is van groot belang om de Nederlandse kennis en ervaring daar goed in te laten landen.

This infographic from IPBES (Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services) explains the four "method families" for assessing the values of nature. It highlights that the global biodiversity crisis is linked to how nature is valued in decisions. The infographic describes four different approaches to valuation: nature-based, statement-based, behaviour-based, and integrated valuation.

#Degrowth can work — here’s how science can help
Wealthy countries can create prosperity while using less materials and energy if they abandon #EconomicGrowth as an objective.
By Jason Hickel, Giorgos Kallis, Tim Jackson, Daniel W. O’Neill, Juliet B. Schor, Julia K. Steinberger, Peter A. Victor & Diana Ürge-Vorsatz, 12 December 2022
Excerpt: "The global economy is structured around growth — the idea that firms, industries and nations must increase production every year, regardless of whether it is needed. This dynamic is driving climate change and ecological breakdown. High-income economies, and the corporations and wealthy classes that dominate them, are mainly responsible for this problem and consume energy and materials at unsustainable rates.
"Yet many industrialized countries are now struggling to grow their economies, given economic convulsions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, resource scarcities and stagnating productivity improvements. Governments face a difficult situation. Their attempts to stimulate growth clash with objectives to improve human well-being and reduce environmental damage.
"GDP is getting a makeover — what it means for economies, health and the planet
"Researchers in ecological economics call for a different approach — degrowth. Wealthy economies should abandon growth of gross domestic product (#GDP) as a goal, scale down destructive and unnecessary forms of #production to reduce energy and material use, and focus economic activity around securing human needs and well-being. This approach, which has gained traction in recent years, can enable rapid #decarbonization and stop ecological breakdown while improving social outcomes. It frees up energy and materials for low- and middle-income countries in which growth might still be needed for development. Degrowth is a purposeful strategy to stabilize economies and achieve social and ecological goals, unlike recession, which is chaotic and socially destabilizing and occurs when growth-dependent economies fail to grow.
"Reports this year by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (#IPCC) and the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on #Biodiversity and #Ecosystem Services (#IPBES) suggest that degrowth policies should be considered in the fight against #ClimateBreakdown and #biodiversity loss, respectively. Policies to support such a strategy include the following.
"Reduce less-necessary production. This means scaling down destructive sectors such as #FossilFuels, mass-produced meat and dairy, #FastFashion, #advertising, #cars and aviation, including #PrivateJets. At the same time, there is a need to end the #PlannedObsolescence of products, lengthen their lifespans and reduce the purchasing power of the #rich.
"Improve #PublicServices. It is necessary to ensure universal access to high-quality #HealthCare, #Education, #Housing, transportation, Internet, #RenewableEnergy and nutritious food. #UniversalPublicServices can deliver strong social outcomes without high levels of resource use.
"Introduce a green jobs guarantee. This would train and mobilize labour around urgent social and ecological objectives, such as installing renewables, insulating buildings, regenerating #ecosystems and improving social care. A programme of this type would end unemployment and ensure a just transition out of jobs for workers in declining industries or 'sunset sectors', such as those contingent on fossil fuels. It could be paired with a #UniversalIncome policy.
"Reduce working time. This could be achieved by lowering the retirement age, encouraging part-time working or adopting a four-day working week [and hybrid or remote work]. These measures would lower #CarbonEmissions and free people to engage in care and other welfare-improving activities. They would also stabilize employment as less-necessary production declines.
"Enable #sustainable development. This requires cancelling unfair and unpayable debts of low- and middle-income countries, curbing unequal exchange in international trade and creating conditions for productive capacity to be reoriented towards achieving social objectives.
"Some countries, regions and cities have already introduced elements of these policies. Many European nations guarantee free health care and education; Vienna and Singapore are renowned for high-quality public housing; and nearly 100 cities worldwide offer free public transport. Job guarantee schemes have been used by many nations in the past, and experiments with basic incomes and shorter working hours are under way in Finland, Sweden and New Zealand.
"But implementing a more comprehensive strategy of degrowth — in a safe and just way — faces five key research challenges, as we outline here."

Examples given in the report include the disease #bilharzia, which causes long-term health issues for more than 200m people worldwide, especially in Africa.
Tackling the problem as a health issue through medication sees people get reinfected.
A different approach in rural Senegal tackled water pollution and the invasive plants that are habitat for the snails which host the parasitic worms which carry the disease, resulting in health and biodiversity gains.
