Базирующиеся на природных ресурсах решения предлагают наилучший способ достижения благополучия человека, борьбы с изменением климата и защиты всего живого на нашей планете. Тем не менее, природа находится в кризисе, поскольку мы теряем виды растений и животных в тысячу раз быстрее, чем в любое другое время в истории человечества, и одному миллиону видов уже грозит полное исчезновение.

В преддверии XV Конференции ООН по биоразнообразию (КС 15), которая состоится 7-19 декабря в Монреале (Канада), мы расскажем о последних новостях, поступающих из институтов в системе Организации Объединенных Наций, партнеров и других лиц, помогая привлечь внимание к тому факту, что будущее человечества зависит от наших действий здесь и сейчас.

"We need an urgent and radical shift: from using nature, to working with nature. To creating nature-centred economies that understand the difference between price and value, between price and cost," said Inger Andersen, United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Executive Director, at the Nature Driving Economic Transformation event in New York. The event was convened at the SDG Action Weekend of the SDG Summit at the 78th Session of the United Nations General Assembly.

Andersen laid out three key steps that are needed to live in harmony with nature:

IPBES Invasive Alien Species Assessment

IPBES Invasive Species Assessment

The severe global threat posed by invasive alien species is underappreciated, underestimated, and often unacknowledged. According to a major new report by the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), more than 37,000 alien species have been introduced by many human activities to regions and biomes around the world. This conservative estimate is now rising at unprecedented rates. More than 3,500 of these are harmful invasive alien species – seriously threatening nature, nature’s contributions to people and good quality of life. 

Approved on Saturday, 2 September, in Bonn, Germany, by representatives of the 143 member States of IPBES, the Assessment Report on Invasive Alien Species and their Control finds that alongside dramatic changes to biodiversity and ecosystems, the global economic cost of invasive alien species exceeded $423 billion annually in 2019, with costs having at least quadrupled every decade since 1970.

The Seventh Assembly of the Global Environment Facility, which takes place in Vancouver from 22-26 August, will stand out for its focus on the dangers of the present.

Environment leaders from 185 countries are gathering at a time of record-high land and ocean temperatures, out-of-control wildfires, and deadly flooding even in areas unaccustomed to weather extremes: a succession of disasters that UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres described as heralding the arrival of “an era of global boiling.”

A highlight of the Assembly agenda will be the launch of the new Global Biodiversity Framework Fund (GBFF), which will provide a boost to developing countries’ investments in nature and support Indigenous Peoples and local communities in their pursuit of the ambitious goals agreed to at the Convention on Biological Diversity COP15 in December 2022.
