Biodiversa+ (European Biodiversity Partnership)

Exploring the future of Nature-based Solutions and transformative change

Nature-based Solutions will not operate in a stable world. Our foresight workshop examined how climate risks, polarisation and shifting values shape NbS and transformative change. 2050 biodiversity goals depend on research choices made today.

The #BiodivRestore Knowledge Hub aims to empower countries to develop and implement National Restoration Plans (#NRP). Last month, a member of the Hub participated in a conference in Rome to discuss challenges and opportunities related to Italy’s NRP.

Workshop report: Advancing biodiversity indicators for monitoring and policy

Restoration only works if nature is connected, not just protected. Structural indicators (FAD, ProtConn) show where habitats are, but functional connectivity shows whether species can actually move.

The Biodiversa+ Business Guide to Sharing Biodiversity Data

The @ipbes.net #BizBiodiversity assessment flags fragmented data, weak metric comparability and low value chain transparency as major barriers to aligning business decisions with biodiversity goals. Better biodiversity data sharing is part of the fix.
