We analyze the development of biodiversity offsetting governance through a research-weaving approach. Here, we combine information from systematized review literature and qualitative analysis institutional developments in different world regions. Through this triangulation, synthesize map developmental streams around globe over last four decades. find that there is global mainstreaming core principles such as avoidance, no-net-loss, mitigation hierarchy, well pooling trading offsets for unavoidable residual damages. Furthermore, can observe an ongoing diversification designs actors involved. Together constitutes emerging regime complex comes with both set shared norms growing complexity. While may imply innovation policy experimentation, it also raises questions regarding effectiveness practices.

Mainstreaming biodiversity targets into sectoral policies and plans: A review from a Biodiversity Policy Integration perspective

Earth System Governance, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 20, С. 100209 - 100209

The integration or mainstreaming of biodiversity targets in sectoral policies and plans (BPI) is considered necessary for bending the curve loss. Scientific research on actual performance BPI rather recent fragmented. Based a coding scheme, we systematically analyse international empirical studies published 43 peer-reviewed journal papers. We show that, so far, overall levels are low, reflected too abstract targets, add-on not targeting driving forces loss, insufficient resources made available to pursue recovery. Joint planning processes, revision consistent coherent incentives, adaptive learning identified as central factors improving BPI, but considerable barriers these areas undermine progress BPI. A change institutional settings seems provide more favourable conditions including assignment less voluntary responsibilities

Towards a co‐crediting system for carbon and biodiversity

Plants People Planet, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 6(1), С. 18 - 28

Societal Impact Statement Humankind is facing both climate and biodiversity crises. This article proposes the foundations of a scheme that offers tradable credits for combined aboveground soil carbon biodiversity. Multidiversity—as estimated based on high‐throughput molecular identification meiofauna, fungi, bacteria, protists, plants other organisms shedding DNA into soil, complemented by acoustic video analyses macrobiota—offers cost‐effective method captures much terrestrial Such voluntary crediting system would increase quality projects contribute funding delivering Kunming‐Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. Summary Carbon land offsets protection have been developed to tackle challenges increasing greenhouse gas emissions loss global Unfortunately, these two mechanisms are not optimal when considered separately. Focusing solely capture—the primary goal most carbon‐focused offsetting commitments—often results in establishment non‐native, fast‐growing monocultures negatively affect soil‐related ecosystem services. Soil contributes vast proportion contains traces organisms. Here, we outline co‐crediting multi‐kingdom samples, along with remote sensing estimation as well analyses‐based monitoring macroorganisms. Combined, such could help halt incentivising industry governments account sequestration more rigorously, explicitly equitably than they currently do. In cases, this prioritise before restoration promote socially environmentally sustainable stewardship towards ‘nature positive’ future.

Evaluating the potential of biodiversity offsets to achieve net gain

Conservation Biology, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 37(4)

Опубликована: Апрель 6, 2023

Evaluating the outcomes and tracking trajectory of biodiversity offsets is essential to demonstrating their effectiveness as a mechanism conciliate development conservation. We reviewed literature determine principles that should underpin offset planning criteria for evaluation at project level. According literature, core equivalence, additionality, permanence are used evaluate conservation offsets. applied large iron ore mining in Atlantic Forest Brazil. examined equivalence terms amount area per value affected fauna flora similarity, additionality landscape connectivity, guarantees ensure protection restoration lasting outcomes. found an ratio (amount area:offset area) 1:1.8 forests 1:2 grasslands. Ecological (i.e., similarity between areas) was forested areas, but not ferruginous rupestrian grasslands or fauna. Landscape metrics showed connectivity improved relative preproject situation result locating largest best-connected forest patch. Permanence addressed by establishing covenants management measures, financial cover maintenance costs after mine closure were lacking. Offsets be equivalent type size, provide would obtained without them (additionality), (permanence). To monitor offsets, it necessary how well these 3 planning, implementation, Achieving measurable from long-term endeavor requires sustained support, information intensive. Thus, require ongoing monitoring adaptive management.Evaluación del potencial de las compensaciones por biodiversidad para obtener ganancias netas Resumen La evaluación resultados y el rastreo la trayectoria son esenciales demostrar su efectividad como mecanismo conciliación entre desarrollo conservación. Revisamos literatura determinar los principios que deberían sustentar planes compensación criterios evaluarla nivel proyecto. Según literatura, se usan nucleares equivalencia, adicionalidad permanencia criterio evaluar conservación compensaciones. Aplicamos este un gran proyecto minero mineral hierro en Bosque Atlántico Brasil. Analizamos equivalencia términos cantidad área valor afectado similitudes fauna; conectividad paisaje; garantías aseguran tengan longevos restauración protección. Descubrimos una proporción (cantidad afectada:área compensación) bosques campos naturales. Encontramos equivalencias ecológicas (es decir, similitud áreas afectadas boscosas, pero no rupestres ferruginosos ni Las medidas paisaje mostraron mejoró relación situación previa al gracias ubicación fragmentos bosque más grandes mejor conectados. Establecimos Contractos manejo fueron establecidos compensaciones, económicas cubrir costos mantenimiento después cierre mina están suficientemente garantizadas. ser iguales tipo tamaño (equivalencia), proporcionar obtendrían ausencia (adicionalidad) duraderas (permanencia). Se necesita cómo aplican estos tres planeación, implementación poder monitorearlas. Si quieren lograr medibles conservación, cuente con apoyo mantenido largo plazo contenga información intensiva. Por lo tanto, requieren monitoreo continua además adaptativo.评估生物多样性补偿的结果并跟踪其轨迹对于证明其作为协调发展和保护的机制的有效性至关重要。本研究回顾了相关文献, 以确定生物多样性补偿规划应遵循的原则, 以及项目层面的补偿评估标准。根据文献报道, 评估生物多样性补偿保护结果的标准包括等效性、额外性和持久性的核心原则。我们应用这些标准, 评估了巴西大西洋森林中一个大型铁矿开采项目的生物多样性补偿情况。我们根据每单位受影响的生物多样性价值的面积和动植物的相似性评估了等效性, 根据景观连接度评估了额外性, 并根据保护和恢复性补偿长期结果的保障措施评估了持久性。我们发现, 森林的补偿比例 (受影响面积:补偿面积) 为 1:1.8, 而草原为 1:2。森林地区实现了生态等效性 (即受影响地区和补偿地区之间存在相似性), 但在铁矿石草原或动物群方面仍未实现。景观指标显示, 由于在最大和连接最好的森林斑块开展了恢复性补偿, 因此连接度相对于项目前的情况有所提高。签订契约和制定管理措施可以解决补偿的持久性问题, 但仍缺乏财政保障来支付矿山关闭后的维护费用。补偿应在类型和规模上具有等效性, 提供因补偿产生的额外保护结果 (额外性), 并且长期存在 (持久性)。为了监测和评估补偿情况, 应确定这三个原则在生物多样性补偿的规划、实施和维持中的应用。通过补偿实现可衡量的保护结果是一项长期且信息密集的工作, 需要持续的管理支持。因此, 补偿需要长期的监测、评估以及适应性管理。【翻译: 胡怡思; 审校: 聂永刚】.

Metrics and Equivalence in Conservation Banking

Land, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 10(6), С. 565 - 565

Опубликована: Май 27, 2021

Offsets are increasingly used to compensate for unavoidable development impacts on species and habitats. Many offset programs pursue no net loss, but research the success of these is lacking, including conservation banking’s in conserving protected under US Endangered Species Act. This article provides a case study analysis two banks state California, comparing gains provided by with losses from impacts. It an credits metrics determine whether equal terms type, condition, amount. Results do show that exceed acreage. However, program uses indirect (acreage), equivalence gains, besides habitat type size, not reflected. Banks provide baseline their documentation conduct monitoring abundance quality, they use it measure additional gains. More detailed transparent indices certify acres production could allow quantification benefits evaluation success. selecting standardized challenging because need be species-specific reflect goal recovery, still operational practice.
