#LandSparing: Königsweg für Erhalt und Förderung von #Biodiversität? ➡ "Recent suggestions to narrow biodiversity conservation to land sparing are misguiding. Intensifying farming does not lead to sparing more biodiversity-rich land, because higher yields are a major incentive to expand agriculture." ➡ "The idea to limit conservation mainly to land sparing, promoting high-intensity agriculture with the expectation to allow for more land for nature... ignores the need for multifunctional, heterogeneous, and complex agricultural landscapes." Sehr lesenswert.

June 7, 2024 - By Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, "Current crises are distracting from the climate crisis and weakening support for climate action, a #Europe-wide survey reveals. To limit the consequences of the global climate crisis, the #globalcommunity needs to dramatically reduce its #carbonemissions. However, public support for measures to achieve this goal can be attenuated by current crises, which distract people's attention and make it more difficult to introduce political instruments that entail cost increases. These are the findings of a new study (https://lnkd.in/eETXHqCv) by Laura Seelkopf, professor at LMU's Geschwister Scholl Institute of Political Science and co-authors. Consequently, Seelkopf and co-authors Dr. Julian Limberg (King's College London) and Professor Philipp Genschel (University of Bremen) recommend emphasizing the urgency of climate change and associating the topic with other events perceived as urgent in order to increase support for measures such as taxing fossil fuels. For the study, the researchers surveyed 21,000 people in 17 European countries with the help of a survey institute, questioning them about their opinion on the introduction of a tax on #fossilfuels. The results showed that support for such a tax was twelve percent higher among participants who had been given information about the climate crisis beforehand than among uninformed participants. However, if the respondents were also reminded of other current crises such as Covid-19 or the war in Ukraine after they received information about the #climatecrisis, their stated willingness to support a tax on fossil fuels fell considerably. In concrete numbers, initial support for the introduction of the tax was around 28 percent. In the group that received the climate information prompt, this figure rose to around 40 percent, with 35 percent rejecting the tax. In the groups that were reminded of Covid-19 and the Russian invasion, support fell again to 30 percent, with rejection at 45 percent. Keeping climate change in crisis mode "Our results help explain why the potential of the climate crisis to increase support for costly countermeasures is limited. Fundamentally, the climate crisis competes with other crises and events which have a shorter time horizon and distract people's attention. This diminishes the potential of the climate crisis to mobilize support for costly climate policies," says Seelkopf. To counteract this, according to the researchers, political decision-makers should place stronger emphasis on climate change as a topic. "They should keep #climatepolicy in crisis mode in order to increase awareness. This can help make citizens aware of the urgency of #climatechange and the necessity of political measures," say the authors. As important instruments, they highlight self-imposed deadlines such as the '#NetZero by 2050'..." #climateaction #climateactionnow #carbontax Continue reading

The biodiversity credit market will not generate enough funding for restoration & conservation. And financing will be even more inadequate if counterbalancing of negative impacts is not accepted as a legitimate use case. But risks to get things wrong are very high and the elephant in the room is the question of ecological equivalency. 🤔 You’re not convinced that we need to tackle the ecological equivalency question? Or you think #biodiversitycredits may be used as contributions beyond value chain impacts and thus do not require to address the question of the equivalence between positive & negative impacts? Here is why I think we cannot ignore this question: 1️⃣ If we do not allow counterbalancing of negative impacts, then the only viable use case for biodiversity credits is contributing to nature recovery beyond a company’s own impacts. 2️⃣ But this use case has very limited potential. The World Economic Forum agrees with this assessment, see my post: https://lnkd.in/e-gx4SBE (which also touches upon another use case: bundling nature restoration with products, an option with more uncertainties). Contributing beyond one's own impacts is basically similar to existing philanthropic schemes which have existed for years (see https://lnkd.in/etQwJxHS). 3️⃣ This would thus not lead to a noticeable increase in funding for #biodiversity. 4️⃣ For biodiversity credits to make a difference, counterbalancing negative impacts should therefore be allowed. 5️⃣ This means it is necessary to deal with the ecological equivalency question. ➡ The only new and impactful use case for biodiversity credits is counterbalancing negative impacts, and that requires specific new rules, including on ecological equivalency. So basically, the question comes to this: should we establish those rules or is this use of biodiversity credits too risky and should we instead focus on other instruments? 🔦 The chart is an extract of the summary of The Biodiversity Footprint Intelligence Company (BioInt)’s thought leadership piece: Biodiversity Briefs # 1: Beyond Rhetoric: A Call for Equivalency Rules for Biodiversity Credits (see links in comment). ❔ To come back to my opening sentence: do you also feel that demand for biodiversity credits is also failing to materialize? I’ll explore that question in a future post.

Best Practices for Prompt Engineering in RAG Be Specific and Clear: Instead of asking "Tell me about climate change," specify the aspect you are interested in: "Retrieve recent articles on the impact of climate change on polar ice caps and summarize the key findings." Define Output Format: Clearly specify the desired format of the response, whether it is a list, summary, step by step guide, etc. Example: "Retrieve the top five articles on machine learning in healthcare and provide a bullet-point summary of each article." Use Natural Language: Write prompts in a natural, conversational manner to help the model understand and generate coherent responses. Example: "What are the main benefits of using renewable energy sources? Retrieve the latest research papers on renewable energy and summarize their findings." Leverage Examples: Provide examples within the prompt to guide the model on the expected output. Example: "Retrieve documents on climate policy. Example output: 1. Policy Name: Paris Agreement. Summary: An international treaty on climate change. 2. Policy Name: Clean Air Act. Summary: A United States federal law designed to control air pollution." #AI #MachineLearning #DeepLearning #NaturalLanguageProcessing #RAG #PromptEngineering #LargeLanguageModels #AIResearch #TechDocumentation #CustomerSupportAI #LegalTech #EducationalAI #ContentGeneration #AIApplications #DataScience #NLP #KnowledgeRetrieval #GenerativeAI #LLM #AIAssistants #Chatbots #ConversationalAI #RAGBestPractices #ClearAndSpecific #DefineOutputFormat #NaturalLanguage #LeverageExamples #LanguageModelOptimization #RetrieveAndGenerate #LanguageUnderstanding

Investigating Climate Change Impacts in High-Alpine Regions: 📊 Research Overview: Our "Climate-sensitive high-alpine cirques: Long-term monitoring Sattelkar" project investigates climate change effects on the Sattelkar in the Obersulzbach valley. Since 1880, Austria’s average annual temperature has risen by 2°C, leading to glacier retreat and permafrost degradation. This has intensified mass movement processes over the last 20 years. 🌧️ Key Findings: Data from Kürsinger Hütte shows heavy rainfall events (>40 mm) have clustered in the past four years, with a record 100.1 mm on August 28, 2023. Remote sensing indicates that 920,000 m³ of sediment have been transported since 2005, affecting an area equivalent to 25 football fields. Movement rates in the lower landslide mass exceeded 50 meters per year in 2023. 🛰️ Advanced Monitoring: Our system tracks meteorological, hydrological, and thermal subsurface conditions, documenting mass movements with passive seismic measurements and automated cameras. Subsurface temperatures have risen by +0.25°C per year, and hydrochemical analyses suggest thawing permafrost lenses. 🙏 Thank you to our partners Nationalpark Hohe Tauern, Land Salzburg and WLV for their support in this critical research.

It is important to remember that the SBTN assessment methodology is only as good as the data in. In many ways, the data we have available on water use, impacts, constraints and risks (both from an operational use and ecosystem services perspective) dramatically outweighs the data we have feeding in for biodiversity. This is not a knock on SBTN - the team has made dramatic progress at tremendous pace, but rather a reflection of the need for assessment tools to continue to grow with our knowledge and understanding. And of course for us to understand the assumptions and limitations we are using.

IUFRO released a new report, "International Forests Governance: A critical review of trends, drawbacks, and new approaches". This report examines the main aspects of the current landscape of international forest governance, analysing and synthesizing respective scientific information published since the publication of the global assessment report of 2010. Its scope includes an update on governance changes since 2010, including actors and instruments; an overview of the forest-related finance landscape; an identification and analysis of the relevant current discourses; and an analysis of the different governance designs, including deficits and alternatives. One major conclusion from this assessment is that the complexity of international forest governance is steadily increasing, and further efforts to coordinate actors and arrangements at all levels are urgently needed. Full report attached.

Absolutely! Urban trees indeed play a crucial role in mitigating the heatwaves we're experiencing. Now its high time to understand the importance of urban green spaces and trees in our cities, not just for their aesthetic appeal but also for their significant contributions to combating the adverse effects of climate change. #UrbanGreenSpaces#ClimateAction#Savetrees#SustainableCities🌳

Very cool new research from my talented brother Tim Williams! 🥝 Interesting to see the stark contrast between the types of agricultural systems across different European regions. With different systems come different leverage points for change. To me, this showcases the importance of context-specific policy and measures. Also, on a personal level this feels like a direct reflection of how a food system can feel as an individual - when travelling further south in Europe, to me, the food system feels more grounded. Maybe because of the higher concentration of multi-functional value chains and civic food networks, and less agro-industrial control?

Just had a conversation with one of Germany's leading experts on natural sciences. He flagged two major issues: ⒈ There is a lot of misinformation and so-called "experts" that are offering unscientific facts on biodiversity protection and its importance for our economies. ⒉ Whilst investment in short-term targets is happening, the key big innovation efforts that will be crucial for our future are not getting funded. So that's why today, I'm sharing the 10 Must-Knows from Biodiversity Science 2024, courtesy of Germany's Leibniz Research Network Biodiversity. They might be more relevant for your business model, people and customers than you think. #sustainability #biodiversity #climatechange

What are biodiversity credits? What role for financial institutions? BioInt supported PBAF in organising a webinar on biodiversity credits for Partnership for Biodiversity Accounting Financials (PBAF) partners and supporters. This chart is a little extract of our presentation (which also included case studies on Verra and Terrasors’ biodiversity credit schemes). At The Biodiversity Footprint Intelligence Company (BioInt), we like the GEF's definition of biodiversity credits: “A unit of biodiversity that finance nature conservation and restoration and provide funds for local communities living in and amongst nature” and we believe the key differences between #biodiversitycredits and other instruments are that: 1️⃣ they can be traded on secondary markets: this entails risks of speculations disconnected from the benefits to #biodiversity, but it also holds promises of significant funding for ecological restoration. 2️⃣ they are voluntary: they are not part of mandatory regulatory frameworks, unlike traditional regulatory biodiversity offsets tied to national mitigation hierarchy regulations. 📢 Do you agree with this definition of biodiversity credits? What is missing in this definition? A lot of stakeholders emphasise that they should not be used to offset negative impacts. But then what would be the differences with philanthropic donations to restore biodiversity? What would be the point of secondary trading? 👏 Thanks Alessandro Valentini from the World Economic Forum and Laura Waterford from Pollination for excellent presentations which really helped better understand potential market demand and use cases for biodiversity credits, and the current state of credit schemes, with insightful case studies! Credits to the #B4BClub of CDC Biodiversité too for advancing the thinking on this topic and inspiration to adapt this chart from NatureFinance.

Social Effectiveness and Human-Wildlife Conflict: Linking the Ecological Effectiveness and Social Acceptability of Livestock Protection Tools by Lara Volski et al., 2021. Human-wildlife interactions are embedded within socio-ecological systems (SES), in which animal behavior and human decision-making reciprocally interact. While a growing body of research addresses specific social and ecological elements of human-wildlife interactions, including conflicts, integrating these approaches is essential for identifying practical and effective solutions. Carnivore predation on livestock can threaten human livelihoods, weaken relationships among stakeholders, and precipitate carnivore declines. As carnivores have received greater protection in recent decades, researchers and managers have sought non-lethal tools to reduce predation and promote coexistence between livestock producers and carnivores. For these tools to be successful, they must effectively deter carnivores, and they must also be adopted by producers. Relatively few studies examine the practical and context-specific effectiveness of non-lethal tools, and even fewer simultaneously consider their social acceptability among producers. To address this gap, we suggest that a tool's ecological effectiveness and social acceptability be analyzed concurrently to determine its social effectiveness. We thus paired an experimental study of a carnivore predation deterrent called Foxlights® with qualitative interviews of livestock producers in Northern California. We placed camera traps in sheep pastures to measure the response of coyotes (Canis latrans) to experimentally deployed Foxlights and interviewed livestock producers before and after the experiment. Our experiment revealed weak evidence for reducing coyote activity with Foxlights, but interviews revealed that the potential adoption of tools had as much to do with their social acceptability and implementation feasibility as with evidence-based measurements of tool effectiveness. Interviewees viewed Foxlights as potentially effective components of husbandry systems, despite the data suggesting otherwise, demonstrating that scientific reductionism may lag behind producer practices of systems-thinking and that isolated demonstrations of a tool's ecological effectiveness do not drive tool adoption. Future empirical tests of non-lethal tools should better consider producers' perspectives and acknowledge that data-based tests of ecological effectiveness alone have a limited place in producer decision-making. Iteratively working with producers can build trust in scientific outputs through the research process itself.

New Report: JREDD+ Pricing, Policy and #MarketInsights for #ForestNations This new report highlights exciting growth and challenges ahead in carbon markets, particularly in the emerging #JREDD+ market and how Forest Nations can benefit from it. Some of the key findings presented in EDF’s report are: 📈 VCM Growth: The #VoluntaryCarbonMarket (VCM) is poised to hit $10-50B by 2030. Despite recent headwinds like stagnant retirements and falling prices, a reversal trend is underway. 🌍 Policy Impact on JREDD+: Global carbon policies heavily influence forest nations' ability to supply JREDD+ credits. 2024 marks a pivotal year, with quality standards, regulatory clarity, and optimistic supply scenarios shaping the market. 💰 JREDD+ Pricing Dynamics: Pricing for JREDD+ remains uncertain due to market variability and liquidity challenges. Estimates suggest a market value of $7-11, with a $10 floor set by the LEAF Coalition. 📊 5-Year Price Forecast: Forecasts indicate prices climbing to $15 by 2028, with potential for significant shifts based on policy changes. Forest nations should weigh guaranteed revenues against these scenarios. 💡 Considerations Beyond Price: Forest nations must consider costs, Net Present Value maximization, risk profiles, financing options, and negotiation strategies beyond mere pricing to ensure sustainable and effective carbon credit programs. Join the conversation on the evolving carbon market landscape and how Forest Nations can reap their benefits! https://lnkd.in/eaEgVgKZ #CarbonMarkets #JREDD+ #StopDeforestation #LeafCoalition Emergent

🌍 Heading to the Bonn June Climate Meetings, our team includes Katherine Browne, who will join the tenth Technical Expert Dialogue (TED10) to discuss the New Collective Quantified Goal on Climate Finance (NCQG) – a process she has been actively shaping for a year. This goal, negotiated by all countries under UN Climate Change, aims to determine the total amount of financial support wealthy nations must provide to poorer ones for their climate change efforts. “How much money is needed and where should it be allocated? The short answer is: a lot; and current funds are nowhere near,” Browne said, providing the following estimates based on UN data: • $2.1 trillion for mitigation • $387 billion for adaptation • Between $290 billion and $580 billion for loss and damage The success of COP29 Azerbaijan next November, and the urgent global shift in climate finance hinge greatly on the NCQG. Browne has been advising governments to ensure that scientific insights shape these crucial political deliberations. In her view, it is crucial to have a goal that matches the challenge's magnitude while also transforming our entire financial system to confront climate change. She aims to see a focus on reprioritizing investments, defining appropriate language for the framework, and addressing issues of accountability. Stay tuned for the full story on our team's activities in Bonn. We will be sharing insights from our experts including Katy Harris, Mikael Allan Mikaelsson MBE, Maximilian Bruder, Zoha Shawoo, Maya Rebermark, Kate Williamson and Rosie Witton. 🔗 And learn more on Browne's hopes and expectations in our Q&A: https://buff.ly/4c0WCNL #Bonn #JuneClimateMeetings #NCQG #TED10 #COP29 #ClimateFinance

Ordering the wilderness: I suggest a new typology of biodiversity measurement. 2 main criteria help distinguish approaches quantifying the impacts of economic activities on biodiversity: 1) what is measured, 2) how the measurement is used. This post deals with Focus on the state of biodiversity (ecosystems or species). Later posts will deal with Focuses on biodiversity significance and the value of biodiversity for human societies. ⚠ Many actually only seek to measure impacts and not remaining biodiversity. 1️⃣ Impact databases See https://lnkd.in/eZFVjXjC 2️⃣ Impact accounting tools Built to allow auditing of their data and outputs and include an audit trail. According to claims from their developers (which I would take with cautions): AgroBiodiversity (ABD) Index (in development), Bioscope, Corporate Biodiversity Footprint (CBF) Detailed, and the #GlobalBiodiversityScore (GBS). All are designed primarily for the corporate Organisational Focus Area (OFA). 3️⃣ Impact hotspot screening tools Provide an audit trail and are mostly used to identify impact hotspots within a value chain. Other approaches can then take over to design avoidance & reduction actions and to refine measurement. ➡ Sector level OFA: Include ENCORE & derived tools (e.g. INFORM module of WWF's Biodiversity Risk Filter). ENCORE also has a "Biodiversity module" which works more at the asset-level. ➡ Supply chain OFA: Include the Biodiversity Impact Metric (BIM, not supported any more). 4️⃣ Impact performance management tools (without accounting) Focus on supporting the management of biodiversity at the corporate, product or site level by reducing negative impacts or increasing positive ones. ➡ Corporate OFA LIFE Key, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) tools used for ecodesign (but their results can be aggregated at the corporate level). ➡ Product OFA: LCA tools used for ecodesign (thus potentially avoiding or reducing products’ impacts), the Product Biodiversity Footprint (PBF) and the Biodiversity Footprint Calculator. ➡ Site OFA: B-INTACT, Site Biodiversity Footprint (SBF), Biodiversity Footprint Calculator and Species Threat Abatement and Restoration (STAR) "tool". STAR is many things: a metric of species extinction, a global layer of STAR value across the globe and an approach to calculate "realised STAR" on specific sites: we refer here to this last use. The Biodiversity Indicators for Site-based Impacts (BISI) tool could also be classified here ⚠Categories can overlap, and some approaches may fit into multiple categories based on developer claims, which may sometimes be misleading. 💬 What are your thoughts on this classification? Does it help you better understand & differentiates the approaches? PS: obviously direct measurement approaches (ecological surveys, eDNA, etc.) are the key missing part here, I’ll add them later.

🌿 #CircularMinds: Sustainability, Circular Economy, and Responsible Teaching: A University’s Hand and Brain Print 🌎🖐️🧠 Laura Marie Edinger-Schons, Professor of Sustainable Business at the Universität Hamburg and Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO) of the university, was at the #PopUpCircularHub last week to shed light on the critical role universities play in shaping sustainable practices and mindsets. 📚 Rather than literal handwriting, the concept of a university’s #handprint signifies the institution’s responsibility—not just to teach, but to impart knowledge that aligns with sustainable development goals. Laura emphasizes that universities should embrace the principles of #sustainability and should empower students with knowledge about circular business models, responsible consumption, and ethical practices. By doing this, universities leave a positive #handprint on the environment and society. 🧠 #Brainprint underscores the critical link between university research and sustainability. As universities delve into various fields, aligning their work with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) becomes paramount. Research must not stray from this path; it must consistently contribute to a sustainable future. After all, we cannot afford to explore directions that diverge from our shared goal: a more sustainable world. Let’s ink a brighter future—one where universities teach not just theories, but also values that sustain our planet! 📝🌿

Mitigation is important, but what about adaptation? Reforestation is important, but what about food security? Only 9% of international climate finance benefits adaptation AND mitigation, and less than 1% of carbon credits come from agriculture. These projects are hard, they are expensive, they require agricultural innovation, empirical R&D and a HUGE amount of groundwork and community engagement. Are they possible? Yes! This is where the third sector and philanthropy can focus it’s efforts: connecting communities to climate finance and supporting the development of scalable mechanisms. There are 30 million hectares of degraded cattle pastures in the Amazon and silvopasture is a solution that keeps delivering more and more win-wins! AGRAP - Alianza por la Ganaderia Regenerativa en la Amazonia Peruana is a cross sectoral effort, bringing together the private, public and third sectors to design complex solutions to complex problems.

The lack of a robust quantifiable,& verifiable unit of trade will be the critical obstacle in developing this market. As we have seen with carbon crediting for NbCS, the potential of that market is currently stifled by questions of quality & integrity. If carbon crediting is hard, biodiversity crediting will be even more challenging as biodiversity is more spatially heterogeneous over smaller units/scale than carbon.

I am proud to share the latest Issue Paper on defining a "biodiversity credit" from the Biodiversity Credit Alliance. As active members of the BCA Taskforce and the working group which created this output, we at ValueNature are thrilled this essential work is complete. The paper provides a comprehensive definition of a biodiversity credit as "a certificate that represents a measured and evidence-based unit of positive biodiversity outcome that is durable and additional to what would have otherwise occurred", along with nuanced definitions for terms like "biodiversity outcome," "durability," and "additionality," essential for understanding and implementing biodiversity credits. Highlights from the Issue Paper Focus on Low-Risk Credits - Initially focusing on lower-risk credit types allows for early successes, paving the way for innovative future methodologies. Principles for Robust Credits - Emphasizing the need for evidence-based methodologies and multiple metrics to ensure credits contribute genuinely and substantially to biodiversity conservation. This paper marks a significant step towards standardized, high-integrity biodiversity credits, reflecting our commitment to a sustainable future where economic activities contribute positively to our planet’s ecological health. Dive into the full paper listed below and join us in shaping the future of biodiversity markets! #BiodiversityCredits #Sustainability #Conservation #BCA #ValueNature
