Biodiversity loss and climate change are among the most pressing challenges
of our times, and are strongly interconnected. Not only will climate change
directly affect biodiversity but mitigation and adaptation measures taken by
society could also have significant effects, both positive and negative, on
biodiversity.
Conservation strategies will need to be adapted to cope with a changing
climate; there is a need to explore how this should be done, and share
experiences of putting adaptation principles into practice. There is also
growing awareness that addressing biodiversity loss and climate change in an
integrated manner can have a range of multiple benefits for society, including
synergies with sustainable development goals. However, considerable
uncertainties remain surrounding the two-way interactions of biodiversity and
climate change and good practice examples of ecosystem-based approaches
to mitigation and adaptation are still rare.
Against this background, the conference sets out to meet a growing demand
for sharing knowledge and experiences in the field of biodiversity and climate
change in Europe. Taking a transdisciplinary perspective, the aim of the
conference is to bring scientists, conservation practitioners and policymakers
together in order to improve both the integration of research outputs into
practical conservation projects, and the identification of further research
needs.
The aim of “Resilience, Innovation and Sustainability: Navigating the Complexities of Global Change” is to advance understanding of the relationships among resilience, vulnerability, innovation and sustainability. It will do so by bringing together scientists to share their work on the dynamics of interconnected social-ecological systems. Conference attendees will include people from the government, business, NGOs and academic sectors concerned with resource governance, and economic and social development . A key outcome of conference discussions will be the development and refinement of new ideas for meeting the challenge of global change.
Human societies are an integral part of the biosphere and, as the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment suggests, are dependent on the capacity of the living environment to provide essential ecosystem services to sustain social development. At the same time, human activity has expanded to such a degree as to now constitute a global, interdependent society that shapes the biosphere at multiple temporal and spatial scales as reflected by climate change, vulnerability in global economic and financial systems and resource degradation across the globe. How can prosperous societal development paths be stimulated in light of these challenges?
Sustainability is a guiding principle in the search for such development paths. Resilience and innovation are important tools to successfully navigate them. Research on resilience – the capacity to deal with change and continue to develop – has evolved as we progressively understand the complexity of interconnected social and ecological systems. Increasingly, we realize that social and ecological systems exhibit strong non-linearities and are prone to dramatic changes. Innovation is a key element in our capacity to cope with these changes.
Interest in resilience, innovation and sustainability is growing rapidly in science and policy circles. New knowledge in these domains has major local-to-global implications for a range of issues including social and economic development and security. Research on actors, networks, multilevel institutions and organizations with the ability to respond to ecosystem feedbacks, sustain and enhance flows of ecosystem services is expanding. Knowledge integration that crosses boundaries between the natural and social sciences, between sciences and humanities and between culture groups will contribute significantly to improving policy to cope with global change. Resilience 2011 seeks to promote such knowledge integration and builds on the highly successful Resilience 2008 conference held in Stockholm last year, organized by the Stockholm Resilience Center. The School of Sustainability, the Global Institute of Sustainability and the School of Human Evolution and Social Change at ASU have agreed to host Resilience 2011 on the ASU campus. We ask you to hold the date for this major international conference, at which we expect colleagues from a wide range of disciplines and all parts of the world.
For some time, biodiversity has been talked about as the next big sustainability issue. Dubbed the “new carbon”, and given it’s own international year of recognition by the UN in 2010 (now extended to a decade), its clear that this is one challenge that’s here to stay.
So if this is the case, how should business set out to address its impact on biodiversity? The TEEB report (The Economics of Ecosystems & Biodiversity) says that the first step for business is to identify impacts and dependencies and then to begin to measure and report impacts, dependencies and responses. However, each of these steps presents it’s own significant challenges, meaning that knowing where to start can be extremely difficult.
To try to address some of the questions around how corporate sustainability professionals should approach biodiversity as a key business issue, we’re running an online Q&A discussion with a panel of experts.
The discussion will take place on Thursday 3rd March from 12 until 3pm and will cover areas such as:
• Is it possible (and useful) for a business to measure its biodiversity footprint?
• Should we even be talking about biodiversity as a distinct business issue (or should it in fact be something that is integrated into sustainability thinking across an organisation’s operations)?
• How can cross-sector collaboration help in addressing the biodiversity challenge?
• What does corporate best practice in terms of biodiversity look like at the moment? Who is leading and how can other organisations learn from them?
• How can investment in biodiversity and ecosystem services be encouraged?
• How can risk due to biodiversity loss be quantified and communicated?
You can either post your questions now or join us next week to follow the whole discussion. The Q&A will take place in the comments section on this page. If you can’t join us on Thursday, sign up to receive our newsletter and we’ll send you a link to a summary of the Q&A.

We face a very significant global challenge. To address this, WILD9 will continue the WWC commitment to generating practical conservation results for wild nature and people, by emphasizing solutions that combine the lessons of history with current, state-of-the-art knowledge and practice. As Dr Jared Diamond chronicles in his book Collapse, environmental degradation was one of the significant reasons for the downfall of the ancient Mayan civilization. We have everything to learn from our history as we respond to the current reality of rapidly escalating global environmental change. We need to create a new reality and a new “calendar,” based on the best information, policy and practice that respects and protects wild nature and its essential services. Without wilderness, our health, wealth and well-being will diminish, and our community will perish. NOW is the time to act.
From November 6 – 13, 2009, the WWC – the world’s longest-running public international forum for the environment – will again convene a large and diverse gathering of senior and respected experts and representatives from governments, NGOs, indigenous peoples, communities, corporations, religion, the arts and other sectors to act on WILD9’s vision statement: wilderness is the strategic element in our response to global environmental change. Many people and groups are already collaborating on the practical objectives of WILD 9.
You are invited! Act now and be part of the most significant environmental action agenda in 2009. Within a few months the registration, accommodation and initial program details will be posted and updated weekly. For now, we invite you to register your intent to participate.
The global carbon market is facing new challenges with carbon prices at a low level and the uncertainty of the outcome of the Copenhagen post Kyoto agreement. No matter how the new carbon market system is designed, the market will rely on contacts and relationships, and as international investors look to diversify their carbon mitigation portfolios the future looks bright for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).

Tropical deforestation accounts for 20 percent of heat-trapping gas emissions worldwide. In Brazil alone, 70 percent of greenhouse gases emissions come from deforestation in the Amazon region. Forest-based carbon sequestration and REDD are gaining international attention, with Brazil on the center stage, to reduce global emissions necessary to avoid dangerous climate change. More broadly, ecosystem service payments in carbon, water and biodiversity are also becoming a key solution to ensuring the continued provision of nature's services through forests, aquatic systems, biodiversity, and carbon and nutrient cycles.
Join us to hear about the latest developments in carbon, water and biodiversity markets and discuss how they are being created and utilized to help solve some of our most critical environmental challenges.
MEETING TOPICS:
* The latest initiatives to control deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon.
* Amazon governors' presentations on the Global Climate Summit
* Launching of Mato Grosso State Forum on Climate Change
* A discussion on REDD options for the Xingu Park
* The Brazilian Amazon Fund to control deforestation and the country's official position on REDD
* How water quality trading markets can contribute to the conservation in the Amazon
* The emergence of biodiversity markets and how they can be applied in Brazil
* How to bridge the gap between current challenges and future economic and environmental solutions
* Create an infrastructure fund for the planet that will invest in our vital natural services
Humankind impacts to the natural environment greatly influence our quality of life. New mechanisms such as ecosystem service markets are emerging as a pragmatic market-based option to manage growth and yet mitigate the environmental impacts of such growth in a cost-effective manner.
The first day will feature a series of speakers giving a broad, national level overview of ecosystem service market considerations and initiatives. The second day will feature a series of three panels: Carbon, Water Quality (nutrient trading), and Mitigation Banking. An interactive question and answer session will follow the panel presentations.
Industry, government, non-governmental organizations, academia, and landowners will all benefit from the information presented. Attending this conference will ensure a better understanding of how ecosystem service markets function and what opportunities exist for landowners.
Our PNW Station and the WFCA will be cosponsoring a workshop on Carbon Markets and Forestry Offsets. This one day workshop has a suite of outstanding speakers who are highly knowledgeable on evolving issues related to forestry offsets. Mark your calendars for the March 5th date. We have some reduced rates available for family forest landowners.

Developed in cooperation with the World Business Council for Sustainable Development
(WBCSD) and the Meridian Institute, this intensive Ecosystem Services Review training for corporate consultants is sponsored by the World Resources Institute.
Since its launch this March, over forty corporations have implemented the ESR and scores of others are gearing-up to use
the methodology. As a result, demand for consultants with expertise in ecosystem services is on the rise.
This training will provide consultants with detailed information about this powerful new methodology.
ESR Case Examples
The experience of these WBCSD member companies and other ESR case examples will be explored during the training session:
Azko Nobel used the ESR to inform plants location strategies in Asia
BC Hydro ran an ESR on a commissioned hydroelectric power plant, improving its management
Mondi reviewed their FSC certified plantations, developing several profitable strategies
Rio Tinto used the Review at a prospective mine in Peru
Syngenta conducted an ESR for small farmers in India and developed new strategic ideas
Supply Chains – several firms are using the ESR to analyze and develop supply chain management strategies related to
ecosystem service-based risks and opportunities
Product Development – the Review is being woven into product design and innovation processes
EMS – from plant management to environmental impact assessments, the ESR is helping several firms improve and enhance
existing practices
Benchmarking – some companies are using the ESR to enhance their environmental performance goals, matrices, and monitoring

Agriculture, forestry, and other forms of carbon based on land use and land use change have for a long time been the "ugly ducklings" of the regulated carbon markets. Not only is forestry carbon explicitly barred from being used in the world's largest carbon market, the EU Emissions Trading Scheme, but its use has been severely limited within the Kyoto Protocol and its Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). This despite the fact that forestry carbon projects have long been a mainstay of the voluntary carbon markets.
Now – with developments in California, a new President about to take office in the US, and increasing international negotiations on 'REDD' (Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation) – the fate of carbon from Agriculture, Forestry, and other Land Uses (or AFOLU to use the less than sonorous VCS acronym) may be about to change.
Join us for a FREE webinar to look at what is happening around the world with respect to "AFOLU" carbon, in both the voluntary and regulated markets. The webinar (which will leave plenty of time for questions, answers and a participative discussion) will cover issues such as:
• Snapshot of the markets (particularly on forestry): volumes, values, and project types
• A look at what happened in Poznan at the recent Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and its Kyoto Protocol
• What is happening on AFOLU in the US, and what can be expected under an Obama Presidency
• New methodologies
• How investors might look at carbon from AFOLU projects
• What's next for AFOLU and REDD, post-Poznan
• Q & A
Panelists will include:
Gia Schneider, EKO Asset Management Partners
Steve Schwartzman, Environmental Defense Fund; and
Allison Shapiro, The Ecosystem Marketplace
The Panel will be moderated by Ricardo Bayon, EKO Asset Management Partners.
If you would like to listen to a recording of the webinar, please click on link in the upper right-hand corner of this page. Due to technical difficulties, the first eight minutes of the webinar were not recorded.
The purpose of ACES 2008 is to provide a needed forum for sharing information on state-of-the-art methods, tools, and processes related to ecosystem services and their effective use in decisions. The interdisciplinary nature of ACES 2008 will facilitate interactive discussions and networking to create and build partnerships while sharing lessons learned from the field.
ACES 2008 will bring together government, non-governmental organization, academia, tribal, and private sector leaders to advance the use of ecosystem services and related science in conservation, restoration, resource management, and development decisions. The conference will highlight concepts and applications relating to four primary themes:
* Mapping and spatial relationships
* Values and measurement
* Dynamic systems and drivers of change
* Institutional structures and decision making
ACES 2008 will provide a broad and open forum to discuss the latest and most innovative methods, tools, and processes for assessing ecosystem services and facilitating their effective use in planning and decision making.
Following the success of the inaugural Biodiversity & Ecosystem Finance event which took place in New York on 27-28 March 2008 and was attended by over 100 participants from 19 countries, Green Power Conferences will once again bring together the corporate and finance communities with the biodiversity and ecosystem industry to drive this critical early stage market forward.
The March event investigated the concepts surrounding financial instruments aimed at conserving and preserving biodiversity and ecosystem services and delegates at the event came together to discuss methods to change the way the economy values the environment. The need for patient capital was the key theme across the two days as traditional banks, corporate and venture funds normally seek returns within a short time frame but these projects generally require time frames of five, ten, twenty or many more years to come to fruition.
Many companies still have trouble seeing the bottom line relationship of Biodiversity & Ecosystem services. Financiers investing in companies or projects that may have biodiversity or ecosystem impacts and businesses such as oil, gas and mining that have an impact have traditionally focused on the risk elements such as reputational risk from negative publicity but companies now need to start looking at the opportunities that can be derived from Biodiversity & Ecosystem services. This two day conference will do just that.
The 2nd annual Carbon Markets Africa will once again to provide an excellent platform for business to learn about the latest developments for CDM in Africa. Although lagging behind Asia and Latin America in terms of registered CDM projects, African nations are in a position to benefit from the rapid expansion of the global carbon markets and the increasing demand for CERs. The introduction of programmatic CDM should help to attract more investors to African countries as unilateral CDM projects decrease the potential investment risks.
The event serves as the most comprehensive global conference providing educational, networking and
promotional tools for leaders and key players from the global carbon market community. There will be presentations, roundtable discussions, specialist workshops, exhibitions and networking events with over 120 speakers and panelists lending their expertise.

Join the Maine Forest Service, Environment Northeast and the Gold Standard in discussing the process and challenges of developing new carbon markets in the U.S.
This presentation and discussion will look at the role of forests in combatting climate change through carbon offsets in New England states, with a particular focus on Maine.
In September of 2008, the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) was launched in the Northeastern U.S. This first-of-its-kind mandatory, market-based effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the United States has established a price on carbon. RGGI's intent is to to spur innovation in the clean energy economy and to create green jobs in participating states.
This conversation will include an overview of RGGI and what it means to forestry in Maine. This event will explore the economic and environmental benefits to Maine for protecting and managing forests through RGGI offsets. Environment Northeast and the Maine Forest Service will discuss sequestration offsets under RGGI including additionality, verifiability, and permanence with a response on methodologies by the Gold Standard.
Join Alec Giffen, Director of the Maine Forest Service, Ellen Hawes, Policy Analyst-Forestry for Environment Northeast, and Jasmine Hyman, Marketing Director of the Gold Standard.
