EU BIOTRAILS

Climate change, biodiversity, consumption, production are tightly ????????????????????????????. To accelerate transformative change, we must engage ?????????????????????? across the entire supply chain. → Day 2 of the #BIOTRAILS General Assembly at the adelphi headquarters in Berlin was focused on cross-fertilisation between case studies, future opportunities with sister projects, and developing a final roadmap to success. ?? Mohammed Armani Armani presented a case study update gold production in Ghana (Africa‘s largest gold producer). ?? Yovita Ivanova Ivanova provided an update on cocoa production in Peru (the world‘s 2nd largest producer or organic cocoa). ?? Wendy Francesconi Francesconi delivered an update on cultural product supply chains in the Brazilian Amazon. ?? Katerina Lytra offered a very engaging update on aquaculture and fisheries in the Mediterranean Sea. ???????????? ???????? ???????? to stay in the loop. #EUBIOTRAILS #TransformativeChange #ClimateBiodiversityNexus

“One of our core goals is to accelerate transformative change.” — raffaele giordano, consortium lead #BIOTRAILS General Assembly is underway in Berlin! Key experts from the project have convened at adelphi headquarters for two days of intensive work & exchange. Day one centred on: ? Taking stock of the extensive project results. ? Strategy development on moving from outputs to impacts. ? Refining and improving communication & dissemination. ???????? ???????? ???????? to get an update on Day 2!

?? Insights from the Webinar on Transformative Change for Nature ?? On 21 February, the Bundesamt für Naturschutz (BfN) hosted a webinar on "Transformative Change for Nature - Engaging with European Nature Conservation Agencies". ?? Highlights from the webinar included insights into the recently published IPBES Transformative Change Assessment by Karen O'Brien and contributions from Nick Bialynicki-Birula (ENCA Network) and Thomas Graner (BfN).

Thank you to BfN and all the speakers for the valuable webinar! #Transformation #Change #Nature #Conservation #ENCA #Network #IPBES

Delegates at #COP16 in ???????? have reached an ???????????????? ?????????????????? on a financing plan to protect biodiversity. This follows a deadlock in Cali, Colombia, last year. The?deal aims to mobilise $?????? ?????????????? ???????????????? by 2030 to conserve nature, with wealthier nations contribution $30 billion of that total to assist poorer countries. This comes after a previous commitment to ?????????????? ???? ?????????? ????% of the world's land and seas, which is vital for maintaining ecosystems essential for food, climate regulation and economic stability. “The successful conclusion of COP16 in Rome marks a major step in protecting our planet's biodiversity. With the global finance plan now in place, countries must turn ambition into action, ensuring that every dollar mobilised helps to save and restore the ???????????????? ?????????????? ???? ?????? ????????????.“ Dr. Sarah Velten, Manager and project lead GoDigiBioS. ?? https://lnkd.in/ezSuDAZS “COP16 has demonstrated that ?????????????????????????????? can present ???????? at a time of geopolitical uncertainty. With a new strategy to mobilise funds, action is now needed. COP17 will assess our progress, and a ??????????-????-?????????????? approach is crucial to move forward. ?????????????????????? ?????????????????????? can unite stakeholders from all sectors – citizens, civil society and policy makers –to drive meaningful change. The future of people and the planet depends on it." Jan Christian Polania Giese, Senior Manager and project Lead EU BIOTRAILS ?? https://lnkd.in/eZDBcQ4S #COP16Resumed #PeaceWithNature #Biodiversity

While #COP16Resumed is underway at the FAO Headquarters in Rome, ???????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ?????? ???????????? ?????????? (#NBSAP) are key to turning global biodiversity commitments into real action. ?? ???????????? ????, which aims to halve food waste and reduce over-consumption by 2030, offers a crucial opportunity for countries to address unsustainable consumption patterns.

???????? ???? ???????????? ???? ?????????? ???? ????????: #COP16 in Cali (held in late 2024) made important progress, including the launch of the ???????? ???????? and the recognition of Indigenous communities’ roles in biodiversity conservation.?But the conference was suspended with key issues unresolved. ???? Talks will resume this week at the FAO Headquarters in Rome. Key items on the compact agenda: ???????????????? ???????????????????????? – Securing $200 billion annually for biodiversity initiatives by 2030 for e.g. the implementation of the #NBSAPs. ???????????? ?????????????????? ?????????????????? – Establishing a system to effectively distribute biodiversity funding. ???????????????????? ?????????????????? – Finalising tools to measure progress on the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (#KMGBF). ???????????? ?????????????????? – Deciding on processes to review implementation progress at COP17, including contributions from non-state actors. #COP16Resumed will be vital in ensuring that ambitious biodiversity targets are realised, to maintain positive momentum and ensure the successful implementation of the KMGBF.

??? Meet our webinar’s speaker, Anna Verhoeve! ? We are thrilled to introduce Anna Verhoeve,?a senior researcher at ILVO (Instituut voor Landbouw, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek), who is going to be one of the presenters of our 2nd Transformative Change webinar on Methodologies for mapping systems interactions. With 20 years of experience, Anna specialises in understanding rural transformations and addressing spatial planning challenges at the intersection of agriculture and governance. She focuses on mapping land-use changes in the Flemish countryside and resolving spatial conflicts by engaging systematically with stakeholders across administrative and political levels. With advanced degrees in geography, spatial planning, and bioengineering sciences, Anna combines research and policy dialogues to address complex rural development issues. ? ?? In our webinar, Anna is going to present an approach by the @MOSAIC project (https://lnkd.in/eSWwjAV6) specifically the policy labs as innovative cooperation models to co-produce actionable knowledge to support effective land use policies. ? ?? Thursday 27th February 2025 ? 11:00-13:00 CET ?? Online (Microsoft Teams) ? ? Why You Should Attend: Gain valuable insights into cutting-edge methodologies like Life-Cycle Assessment, Participatory System Dynamics Modelling, Structural Equation Modelling and more, as applied in biodiversity-driven transformative change research.
