from this link, but I have pasted it below also.  Some of the biggest names
in biodiversity planning will be speaking, including one or two
BIOPLANNERS, so it promises to be an event worth dipping into at least,
either live, or on demand later.

I note that one of the talks is on the “environmentalist’s paradox” – why
is human well-being (apparently) improving whilst biodiversity is in steep
decline. This debate started in 2010 with this article:

*The US-UK Scientific Forum on Bringing Nature into Decision Making *

June 16 – 17, 2022

London, UK


*Objectives*: To advance integration of biodiversity and nature’s benefits
to people into decision- making, systemically and globally. Specifically,
we aim to (i) lay out the grand challenge of valuing, sharing, and
regenerating the benefits of nature; (ii) showcase models of success today;
(iii) identify barriers to adapting, replicating, and scaling these models
- in science, capacity, social innovation, and institutions; and (iv) focus
on key opportunities for lifting these barriers and transforming to
nature-positive, climate-smart, and inclusive systems and pathways for
sustainable development.


*Meeting venue: *The Royal Society, 6-9 Carlton House Terrace, London. All
Forum sessions and social events will be taking place at this location.


*Day 1: Thursday 16 June 08:30-21:30 *


*08:30-09:00 Registration *


*09:00-11:10 Session 1: The Grand Challenge (Chair: Eric Lambin) *

*This session will set the broad agenda, outlining the crisis resulting
from not incorporating the multiple values of nature into decisions – in
policy, planning, finance, and operations – and how to seize the new moment
of opportunity at hand. *


*09:00-09:10 Welcome and Overview of the Scope and Structure of the Meeting
(Yadvinder Malhi) *


*09:10-09:30 Opening keynote: Bringing Nature into Decision-Making: A Brief
History and Our Challenge Today (Gretchen Daily) *


*09:30-09:40 Reflections and Discussion (Eric Lambin) *


*09:40-10:00 Interdependence of Civilisation and the Living World in the
Anthropocene (Carl Folke) *

Human actions have become a major force in shaping the future of the Earth
system. In the Anthropocene, people and nature are dynamically intertwined
and embedded in the biosphere, with shocks and extreme events as part of
this dynamic. The Anthropocene reality - of rising system-wide turbulence -
calls for transformative change towards sustainable futures, where
stewardship of the biosphere foundation is essential for a prosperous
development of civilisation.


*10:00-10:20 Valuing Nature: The Case of Tropical Forests and Costa Rica
(Alvaro Umaňa) *

This talk focuses on the failure to account for the value of standing
tropical forests, and ecosystem services in general, in economic
decision-making. This has led to overuse, exploitation and habitat
destruction, as well as a significant contribution to greenhouse gas
emissions. Forest carbon also has a critical role in the fight against
climate change and has additional benefits in terms of biodiversity and
water. The case of Costa Rica is analyzed briefly.


*10:20-10:40 Incorporating Nature-Related Risks and Opportunities in
Financial Decisions – The TNFD Framework (Emily McKenzie) *

The Dasgupta Review on the Economics of Biodiversity showed we have
collectively failed to engage with nature sustainably. One important route
for change is to transform our finance system. The Taskforce on
Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) is helping to address this by
developing a risk management and disclosure framework for corporates and
financial institutions to report and act on nature-related risks and
opportunities.


*10:40-11:10 Discussion*


*11:10-11:30 Coffee break*


*11:30-12:50 Session 2: Key Concepts pt.1 (Chair: Unai Pascual) *

*This session will address the key conceptual foundation for, and debates
around, how nature is valued and represented in decision making processes,
by whom and with what consequences. *


*11:30-11:35 Introduction (Unai Pascual) *


*11:35-12:00 Nature's Contributions to People - New Insights at the
Environmental Science-Policy Interface (Sandra Díaz) *

The ways in which the links between societies and nature are conceived have
changed dramatically over the past few decades. This has deeply influenced
the international science- policy interface on biodiversity. The notion of
nature’s contributions to people ̶ part of the inclusive conceptual
framework increasingly being used by intergovernmental bodies to address
the links between nature and society ̶ is possibly one of the best
illustrations of this process. The transdisciplinary and action-oriented
concept of nature’s contributions to people embraces the diverse ideas
about what people derive from, and co-produce with, nature. It facilitates
plural valuation of nature and both its benefits and detriments, and
enables diverse actors to represent nature-people interactions for
different scales, audiences, and decision-makers. The talk will summarize
major features and history of the concept, dispel some common
misconceptions and discuss what it is bringing to the environmental science
policy interface.


*12:00-12:25 Ecosystem Services, Climate Change and the Environmentalists'
Paradox (Sharad Lele) *

The latest Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and
Ecosystem Services (IPBES) report warns us of a rapid decline in
biodiversity. The Ecosystem Services framework suggests that this will
seriously affect human well-being. But policy-makers do not seem to respond
with any great alacrity to these warnings. Some skeptics even point to
rising human well- being as an indication that the claims linking nature
and well-being are exaggerated. This is the

Environmentalists' (or rather Conservationists') Paradox: rising well-being
but declining biodiversity. How does one resolve this? And where does the
‘mother of all environmental problems’ i.e., climate change, figure in this
picture? This talk offers a broader framework of the Nature-Society
relationship, one grounded in ecological economics and political ecology.
This framework helps us resolve the paradox and include climate change, but
then asks us to think differently about solutions.


*12:25-12:50 Valuing Nature in Decision Making – the Power and Limitations
of Economics (Steve Polasky) *

Public and private decision-making around the world are driven by economic
metrics such as GDP and financial rates of return. These metrics provide
useful information but have a major flaw: they fail to incorporate the
value of nature and therefore fail to provide adequate incentives to
conserve nature. Reliance on economic metrics has led to rapidly rising
GDP, large private returns, and to a climate and biodiversity crisis. This
problem can be addressed by incorporating the value of natural capital and
the ecosystem services it generates into economic accounts. Many efforts to
do so are currently underway and are spreading into the mainstream of
government and business operations. However, major challenges remain
including valuing “non- market” goods and services, giving proper weight to
values and viewpoints antithetical to market- oriented thinking, addressing
equity, fairness and the rights of indigenous peoples and future
generations, and accounting for the intrinsic value of nature.


*12:50-14:00 Lunch*


*Keynote address: How Science Can Deliver More for Forest Conservation - a
Practitioner’s View (Tom Evans) *

Good evidence, delivered in the right way at the right time, can play a
pivotal role in societal decisions around forests, but too often that
doesn’t happen. With examples from major current debates in forest policy
and conservation practice, Dr. Evans highlights some of the ways this could
be changed for the better.


*14:00-14:50 Session 2: Key Concepts pt.2 (Chair: Anne Christianson) *


*14:00-14:25 Bringing Nature into Decision Making: Conceptual Framework
(Ian Bateman) *

The concept of ‘natural capital’ is gaining traction internationally as
recognition grows of the central role of the natural environment in
sustaining economic and social wellbeing. It is therefore encouraging to
see the first signs of a ‘natural capital approach’ to decision making
being accepted within government policy processes and the private sector.
However, there are multiple different understandings of this ‘approach’,
many of which misuse or omit key features of its foundations in natural
science and economics. To address this, we present a framework for natural
capital analysis and decision making that links ecological and economic
perspectives. We illustrate the power of this approach by contrasting it
with conventional market-based solutions to environmental resource
challenges.


*14:25-14:50 Valuing Nature through a Human Health Lens (Kathy Willis) *

Over the past few decades there has been a large global increase in the
incidence of non- communicable diseases (NCD), including cardiovascular and
respiratory diseases, cancers, and mental illnesses. These conditions kill
up to 41 million people each year, equivalent to 71% of all deaths globally
(WHO 2021). Over the same interval of time, a scientific evidence-base has
emerged to demonstrate that interacting with certain aspects of nature can
provide a complementary treatment for many of these NCDs and associated
symptoms. This talk will discuss these studies, looking at which
interactions with nature (sight, smell, sound and touch) are linked to
positive health outcomes. It will also examine evidence for their efficacy
and economic value compared to conventional treatments.


*14:50-15:00 Stretch your legs break *


*15:00-17:30 Session 3: Science and Social Innovation for Transformation:
Models of Success & Challenges to Scaling (Chair: Carter Brandon) *

*This session will explore some of the world's most inspiring models of
success operating at significant scale. We’ll explore contrasting
ecosystems and economic sectors and culminate with an approach designed to
integrate across all ecosystems and their benefits to people. How did these
cases develop, and what is the potential for scaling them much further? *


*15:00-15:25 Nature-Positive Approaches to Coastal Climate Resilience:
Innovating and Scaling across Latin America and the Caribbean (Mary
Ruckelshaus (featuring work by Chantalle Clarke-Samuels)) *

Awareness of human dependence on nature is at an all-time high, the science
of ecosystem services is rapidly advancing, and talk of natural capital is
now common from governments to boardrooms. Here we illustrate paths through
which ecosystem service information is moving beyond ideas to action in
coastal zones, through: (i) providing evidence linking cross-sectoral
decisions to impacts on natural capital and multiple benefits, including
resilience to sea-level rise and storms and bolstering tourism and fishery
livelihoods; (ii) co-developing with leaders the tools and practices needed
for everyday decision-making; and (iii) reforming investments, policies,
and institutions. Examples from Belize and other Caribbean countries
illustrate how human wellbeing can improve by identifying communities at
greatest risk, and harmonizing tourism, fisheries and other objectives.
With support from the Inter-American Development Bank, implementation of
spatial development plans is leading to targeted biodiversity and ecosystem
financing and greater coherence of policies across sectors.


*15:25-15:50 Seafood Business for Ocean Stewardship (SeaBOS) (Henrik
Österblom) *

The biosphere crisis requires changes to existing business practices. We
ask how corporations can become sustainability leaders, when constrained by
multiple barriers to collaboration for biosphere stewardship. We describe
how scientists motivated, inspired and engaged with ten of the world’s
largest seafood companies, in a collaborative process aimed to enable
science‐based and systemic transformations (2015–2021). Co‐creation of
solutions resulted in new knowledge and trust, a joint agenda for action,
and convergence of corporate change.


*15:50-16:15 Vicuñas: Intercultural science, for a Biocultural Path to
Sustainability (Bibiana Vilá) *

South American Camelids (SACs) make several contributions to people and are
a key component of the Andean biocultural heritage. Vicuñas (Vicugna
vicugna) have one of the finest(12microns) and expensive (400 US dollars/
kilo) natural fibres in the world. Vicuñas were at risk of extinction due
to hunting. International and regional conservation, as well as the will
and care of indigenous communities saved the species. Sustainable harvest
of vicuña fibre is achieved by “chakus”, capture and live-shearing. The
raw fibre prices are falling. We are now exploring the possibility of
making high-quality artisan garments to add value and generate a
sustainable option for locals. We present a detailed description of the
production of a shawl. The handwork has been economically recognized, and
costs calculated. The final cost of the garment was approximately 3,300
dollars and half of this cost was the dehairing and cleaning of the fibre.


*16:15-16:40 Coffee break *


*16:40-17:05 Cities in Nature: Singapore (Lena Chan) *

The talk will illustrate how the National Parks Board of Singapore (NParks)
identifies problems, crafts specific problem statements, works with the
scientific community to design research projects that seek nature-based
solutions, interprets the data, translates the results to policies,
operationalises the recommendations on the ground and devises evaluation
and monitoring programmes – all in one government agency collaborating in
an interdisciplinary manner and comprehensively with multi-governmental
agencies, academic community, and the public (NGOs, citizen scientists,
etc.). It will also highlight initiatives that can help upscale models of
success on biodiversity conservation in cities.


*17:05-17:30 Using Gross Ecosystem Product (GEP) to Mainstream Nature into
Economic Decision-Making (Tong Wu (featuring work by Zhiyun Ouyang)) *

Measured by Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the global economy grew
significantly in recent decades. However, the world’s natural capital and
corresponding flows of ecosystem goods and services continued to decline.
Gross Ecosystem Product (GEP) can help reconcile these divergent trends by
mainstreaming nature into economic decision-making. GEP was first
implemented in China, but it has begun to attract international interest,
gaining wider legitimacy through endorsement and support by the United
Nations and other multilateral institutions.


*17:30-18:00 Participant Discussion: What are the challenges in bringing
nature into decision-making, and who makes the decisions? (Discussion
leaders: Anna Armstrong and Brad Wible) *


*18:00-19:00 Pre-dinner drinks 19:00-21:30 Dinner *


*Keynote address: How the Global Environment Facility Brings Nature into
Decision Making (Carlos Manuel Rodríguez)*


*******************


*Day 2: Friday 17 June 08:30-15:30 *


*08:30-12:15 Session 4: Driving Transformation: Scaling Success and Opening
New Frontiers (Chair: Rosina Bierbaum) *

*This session will explore the role of political and economic actors with
the power to encourage or require greater adoption of decision-making
processes that value nature. *


*08:30-08:45 Session Welcome and Introductions (Rosina Bierbaum) *


*08:45-09:00 Nature Based Solutions for Climate Change Adaptation in
Colombia (Angela Andrade) *

The talk will highlight the main achievements in adaptation to climate
change in the high mountains of the region surrounding the city of Bogotá,
in Colombia, the main lessons learned, and future challenges.


*09:00-09:30 Integrating Natural Capital into the Financial Sector through
Multilateral Development Banks, as Pledged at CoP26 (Panel discussion with
Fiona Stewart and Robert Schoellhammer moderated by Kathy Segerson) *


*09:30-09:45 Nature Finance Insurance and the Built Environment (Frank
Nutter) *

Nature in the form of extreme events punishes the built environment and yet
can serve to protect it when the built environment utilizes it properly.
Insurers and their policyholders are exploring incentives to achieve hazard
reduction via natural mitigation measures.


*09:45-10:00 Private Financial Sector (Gim Huay Neo) 10:00-10:30 Coffee
break *


*10:30-10:45 Building the Private Sector Accountability Mechanism on Nature
(Timothée Pasqualini) *

The urgency for the private sector to act decisively and transform its
links with nature has never been so clear. Holding companies accountable
for their action on nature and biodiversity is therefore critical. The
World Benchmarking Alliance is playing its role as an accountability actor
thanks to its Nature Benchmark, which is assessing how over 1000
influential companies from 22 industries are contributing to a
nature-positive future that leaves no one behind.


*10:45-11:00 Data Needs and Gaps for Integrating Nature into Investment
Decisions (Harun Dogo) *

Integrating nature into investment decisions requires actionable
information about the footprint and impact of a specific investment in an
easily accessible, rapid, and scalable manner - a task that is currently
quite challenging, but may be simplified with the next generation of tools
and datasets.


*11:00-11:15 The Law as a Lever to Deliver Change (Gillian Lobo) *

The presentation will discuss how the law can help increase transparency in
decision-making by providing for access to information in environmental
matters.


*11:15-12:15 Session 4 Participant Discussion*


*12:15-13:30 Lunch*


*13:30-14:30 Session 5: Synthesis Session (Discussion leaders: Gretchen
Daily and Yadvinder Malhi; rapporteurs: Bob Litterman, Joseph Lowe, and
Rebecca Shaw) *

*This session will include all Forum attendees and will draw together the
key conclusions from the presentations and exchange to help formulate a
number of pragmatically oriented action items that will serve as a
foundation for further collaborative work. *


*14:30-15:30 Session 6: Paths Forward for Embedding Nature in Decision
Making *


*14:30-14:50 Reflections (John Holdrn)*


*14:50-15:00 Final thoughts*



*15:00-15:30 Closing keynote: Collective Action for a Nature-Positive,
Climate-Smart, and Inclusive World (Aileen Lee)*

*Over two days, the US-UK Scientific Forum on Bringing Nature into Decision
Making will have brought together leading scientists with key actors from
across the policy, civil society, development bank, public and private
donor, business, and financial sectors. This talk will build on insights
from the workshop and highlight opportunities for collective action across
sectors to advance our shared goal of catalyzing a systemic shift in how
the benefits of nature are valued and integrated.*
