Naturaleza es base de la economía para enfrentar el cambio climático-Radio Duna-Dr. Aníbal Pauchard YouTube video by comunicallambias / symcomunicaciones

🎙️ Naturaleza = base de la economía

En #RadioDuna, nuestro director #IEBChile @anibalpauchard.bsky.social conversó con #PoloRamírez y #FranciscoAravena sobre el informe #IPBES12, el #DíaDeLaNaturaleza y por qué la pérdida de biodiversidad es un riesgo económico.

“Nature is not in opposition to the economy, it is the economy”

Let’s take a look back at the inspiring words that the UK’s Special Representative for Nature, Ruth Davis OBE, shared with all attendees at #IPBES12, in the lead up to a successful deliberation for #BizBiodiversity.

We welcome the new @ipbes.net Business & Biodiversity Assessment. Science-based evidence is essential to inform policy under the #KMGBF.

The message is clear: biodiversity is central to business viability.

Every business depends on biodiversity, and every business impacts it.

The first-ever Business and Biodiversity Report finds that businesses are central to halting and reversing biodiversity loss, and outlines concrete actions.

nature loss is one of the most “serious threats” to businesses, but “it often seems more profitable to businesses to degrade biodiversity than to protect it”

📘 La #IPBES publica un informe con 108 medidas concretas para frenar la destrucción de la biodiversidad.

¿Por qué ahora? Porque empresas y gobiernos invierten 33 veces más en actividades que dañan la naturaleza que en protegerla.

The job
Cooperating in the field of periglacial vegetation development with other Helmholtz centres, we offer a PhD position (f/m/x) to survey and analyse the development of vegetation and associated microbiomes in glacier forelands of the Alps.

Your tasks
• Collection of vegetation data in glacier forelands and surroundings
• Collection of soil and root samples
• Analyses of soil and root associated microbiomes through meta-barcoding
• Analysis of the link between vegetation and microbiome development as a function of (successional) time
• Scientific publications

We offer
A lot of things, but space does not permit. Please see the link for details.

Your profile
• Degree (Master, Diploma) in biology, ecology, geoecology or comparable courses of study
• Experience in the field of vegetation methods (vegetation surveys)
• Field work experience in soil and root sampling for microbiome analysis
• Lab skills to analyse the microbiome like DNA extraction, PCR, and sequencing
• Knowledge of the Northern Alpine flora
• Experience in high mountains and the ability to hike several hours a day and 1000 metres in altitude with luggage and equipment
• Orientation skills in the mountains
• Ability to work independently and solve unexpected problems
• Statistical skills (preferably in R), knowledge of data storage (databases) desirable
• Very good knowledge of English (communication in the working group, reading technical literature, writing technical articles)

Imagen promocional del Informe de Evaluación de las Empresas y la Biodiversidad, con múltiples fotografías. La imagen principal muestra a dos ciclistas en una pasarela de madera contemplando Half Dome en el Parque Nacional de Yosemite, con imponentes acantilados de granito y un bosque siempreverde al fondo. Debajo del título y el texto, sobre un fondo verde azulado, se encuentra una franja con cinco fotos más pequeñas que muestran: textiles coloridos en un mercado, una copa de los árboles, una vista aérea de tierras agrícolas y la vida silvestre en un entorno de sabana. El texto anuncia el "IEvaluación de las Empresas y la Biodiversidad" y detalla una evaluación metodológica sobre el impacto de las empresas en la biodiversidad y las contribuciones de la naturaleza a las personas. La información del evento indica "#IPBES12 | 3-8 DE FEBRERO DE 2026 | MÁNCHESTER, REINO UNIDO". El documento describe su propósito de fortalecer la base de conocimientos para que las empresas alcancen los objetivos de la Visión 2050 para la Biodiversidad y el Convenio sobre la Diversidad Biológica, centrándose en la conservación, el uso sostenible y la distribución equitativa de los recursos genéticos.

Biodiversity collapse threatens UK security, intelligence chiefs warn Ecosystem destruction will increase food shortages, disorder and mass migration, with effects already being felt

All those who wrongly believe that nature collapse might be 'sad', but won't really affect them in any way, badly need to wake up.

Nature isn't just 'nice to have'.

Planet Earth is only liveable – for *us* too – due to the regulating effects of natural ecosystems.

Fast-moving & destructive wildfires--some burning into populated areas in/beyond the urban interface--have occurred across many of the Southern Hemisphere's fire prone regions (including Chile & Argentina, South Africa, & SE Australia) over last 3 weeks.

Scientists call for 'systems reset' to redefine sustainable development A new international study calls for a fundamental reset in how humanity understands and pursues sustainable development. The article is published in the journal Communications Sustainability.

ICYMI: an international team has developed a new framework for understanding sustainable development. Instead of separating nature, society and economy, David Obura and co. propose a model that positions nature as the foundation.

Left side contains a statement from Dr David Obura, IPBES Chair, regarding the US withdrawal from IPBES and extinction threats to over 1 million species. Right side shows a photograph of a man wearing glasses, dressed in a dark jacket and grey shirt, seated at a conference table with a microphone. The IPBES logo appears at the bottom with the tagline "Science and Policy for People and Nature". The design features white typography on the dark green background, creating a professional contrast. Several small pins or badges are visible on the speaker's jacket.

“We cannot withdraw from the fact that over 1 million species of plants and animals face extinction.”

IPBES remains committed to its mandate to provide the most credible science and evidence about biodiversity to all decision makers and actors.
