The Salazar Center’s fifth International Symposium on Conservation Impact focused on how to achieve a nature-positive future together, to catapult our communities towards durable, high-impact outcomes for climate, biodiversity, and human well-being. The 2023 Symposium Synthesis Report summarizes five cross-cutting themes that emerged from the Symposium, as well as key takeaways from each session. The themes reflect ideas, needs, and opportunities raised multiple times by speakers or attendees. Like the interconnectedness of biodiversity and climate, each theme is also connected to the next. Together, they help illuminate potential shared pathways to enrich biodiversity and build long-term, stable societies and healthy economies across North America. We hope it encourages you to continue conversations started at the Symposium, while inspiring everyone in our growing network to continue advancing innovative and coordinated conservation programming, practices, and policies.

When it comes to knowing a company’s true commitment to sustainability, we must trust but verify. Demanding radical transparency in company supply chains can help. There is no group with a greater power to demand this than investors. Talk of sustainability without the corresponding transparency, is just part of the sustainability ideology and not a genuine solution. To anyone trying to understand the accelerating juggernaut of ‘Nature Positive’ (see comments), and if it can genuinely help tackle biodiversity loss, a good first step to is to read Jem Bendell’s latest book, Breaking Together. In 2007, Bendell co-authored the report, Deeper Luxury, quality and style when the world matters, one of the first reports discussing how, “our desires for human creations are making luxuries out of nature’s creation”. At the time, the report’s findings were acknowledged to be a wakeup call for all the “professionals and aficionados of the luxury goods industries”. Twenty years of experience in sustainable business and finance, working with international corporations, UN agencies and international NGOs, culminated in Bendell becoming a Professor of Sustainability Leadership. Maybe the best wakeup call and filter to view ‘Nature Positive’ initiatives is that in 2023 Bendell stepped away from a career he called, “the illustrious career of delusion that I had before my awakening and eventual move from first world professor to third world farmer”. The delusions he refers to include the myriad of phantom solutions created by the global elite to distract from the inherent unsustainability of an economic system built on never-ending growth. Nature Positive is wheeled out as the latest initiative to get those who broke the biosphere – large corporations – to ‘fix’ it. Part of the ‘idea’ is that private financial investment will make up for lack of government action! This would be a joke, if the situation wasn’t so tragic. This is not the time for yet another Phantom Solution: https://lnkd.in/gCpUr6uH

🌿 Tackling nature conservation challenges requires a transdisciplinary approach! Despite the growing interest in behaviour change for conservation, there are knowledge gaps in promoting effective conservation behaviours. This latest research, by Lily van Eeden, Kim Borg, Melissa Hatty, Stefan Kaufman, Sarah Kneebone PhD, Liam Smith and more, focuses on how to integrate conservation behaviour change into policies and programs. They found that to achieve conservation objectives we have to bridge the knowledge gaps by embedding research and systems-thinking into implementation.

In honor of Biodiversity day, I am honored to have successfully completed the esteemed course offered by University of Cambridge Lucy Cavendish College and Bennet Institute for Public Policy, focusing on "Key essentials: The global biodiversity framework, sustainable development, and the law." Delving into the intricate interplay between biodiversity conservation, sustainable development, and legal frameworks has been profoundly enlightening. Understanding the nexus and dynamics of how these pillars intersect in policymaking is invaluable in shaping a more sustainable future. #BiodiversityDay #SustainableDevelopment #PolicyMaking

The beauty of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) is that along with benefitting us, a good NbS intervention also benefits the biodiversity. https://lnkd.in/gvYJy5Hx

Nature is the bedrock upon which our global economy thrives, however it is facing significant challenges across the world. The decline in biodiversity and ecosystems is not only affecting the natural world, but also has far-reaching socioeconomic consequences. Recognizing the growing urgency of the nature crisis, EU regulators approved the Nature Restoration Law, which aims for conservation of natural ecosystems and sustained economic growth. Given the close ties between businesses and their value chains, and the potential impact on stakeholders, it is crucial that companies swiftly grasp and tackle the challenges they face. In our latest white paper, we drill down into the EU Nature Restoration Law and the road ahead for companies: https://lnkd.in/ezPiDkes #nature #naturerestoration #biodiversity
