🌲🌍 Forests are not just a collection of trees; they are the guardians of life on Earth. It is our collective duty to honour, preserve, and gain insights into their wisdom, allowing humanity to coexist with nature in harmony. By harnessing our collective knowledge through a series of intentional, evidence-based, participatory events, we can foster an impactful discourse on the true value of forests. Bringing together diverse expertise to craft actionable solutions and nurture regenerative ecosystems, our dialogues have the potential to spark real-world impact 💚 🔗Join the conversation!

Forum 4 Global initiatives in harmony with nature Chair of the Forum: Prof. Alvaro Gutierrez Rojas, Universidad Privada del Valle, Bolivia. Global initiatives in harmony with nature are of paramount importance as they recognize the interconnectedness of human well-being with the health of the planet. In the face of pressing environmental challenges, such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and ecosystem degradation, collaborative international efforts are essential. Initiatives that prioritize harmony with nature promote sustainable practices, conservation of natural resources, and the protection of biodiversity. By fostering a global mindset of stewardship, these initiatives encourage responsible consumption, the adoption of eco-friendly technologies, and the restoration of ecosystems. Embracing a harmonious relationship with nature not only safeguards the delicate balance of ecosystems but also contributes to the resilience of communities worldwide. Such initiatives recognize that the well-being of humanity is intricately linked to the health of the planet, emphasizing the need for collective action to ensure a sustainable and thriving future for both people and the natural world. https://lnkd.in/ghwx7TQ7

Bioanarchy: The theme for this year’s Symbiocene reminds us that nature already knows about disruption - what can we learn?⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Our entanglement with volatile and shifting systems offers a chance to recognize our own abundance, rooted in a more-than-human world. We’ll need to learn from and recognize the intricacies of our relationships to reimagine futures for collective liberation . How do we root into chaos and elevate the disorderly? How does falling apart present a chance to come together in new and better ways?⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Moderated by Damien Gayle, Environmental Correspondent at The Guardian Featuring Kalpana Arias from Nowadays On Earth, Sophie Dembinski Head of Global Policy at Ecosia, Will Eliot from Biocrafting Studio, Professor David Luke, Technologists & Futurist Viraj Joshi, and Grace Boyle ⁣⁣ Tickets are available at the link below 🎟️⁣⁣ https://lnkd.in/g4RviwTA.. #sustainability #sustainable #climatejustice #londonclimateactionweek

Nature-based Insights is a social venture spin-out from the Nature-Based Solutions Initiative at the University of Oxford. We work at the interface between research and practice to apply the latest science to help businesses and financial institutions implement nature-based solutions with integrity. We provide analytics on nature-related impacts, dependencies, risks, and opportunities to set, achieve, and monitor evidence-based targets for #climate, #nature, and its #biodiversity. Our mission is to ensure investments go towards #naturebasedsolutions that are effective, #NetZero aligned, ecologically sound, and socially just. 🔗 👇 https://lnkd.in/emYH-gB4

📣New report launch: A new report by the Future Earth community launched this month in Finland emphasizes the necessity of transdisciplinarity, a systems approach, and institutional transformation in research to tackle climate change and biodiversity loss. It identifies key research gaps and highlights that collaboration among researchers across disciplines is critical to create change. The report was commissioned by the European Commission, and is intended to inform the European Union’s Horizon Europe funding program. It’s based on inputs from over 120 scientific experts of the course of a year. We thank the researchers for their contributions and invaluable support from International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) and Sustainability in the Digital Age & Future Earth Canada.

In honor of international day for biodiversity, I celebrate my "why": 🌿Why I took the leap to become an environmental scientist. 🌿Why I love working with technology to find creative, yet informative ways of representing ecosystems. 🌿Why I believe leaning towards a solution-based approach is a way to bridge cognitive dissonance and encourage action. 🌿Why I believe these solutions often lie jot in the middle of the inconvenients truths. 🌿Why I promote using a systems thinking approach for strategy design and addressing uncertainty. 🌿Why I advocate for fair and just collaboration in transitions. My why is deeply rooted in being a better human, showing kindness and selflessness. But most importantly, it is strongly coupled to protecting the biological vastness we freely benefit from and to imprint its value. This is the legacy I wish to leave for coming generations. Let's celebrate all creatures great and small 🍃🐞 #biodiversity #systemsthinking #sustainabilitytransitions #biodiversityday
