Polluants éternels : un plan interministériel pour limiter les risques

Polluants éternels : un plan interministériel pour limiter les risques | Biodiversité | Scoop.it
Ce plan, composé de 26 actions, définit la doctrine du Gouvernement pour réduire le plus rapidement possible les risques associés aux PFAS, ces molécules encore mal connues.

A global-level assessment of the effectiveness of protected areas at resisting anthropogenic pressures - PNAS

A global-level assessment of the effectiveness of protected areas at resisting anthropogenic pressures - PNAS | Biodiversité | Scoop.it

Protected areas (PAs) are a key strategy for conserving nature and halting the loss of biodiversity. Our results show that while many PAs are effective, the large focus on increasing terrestrial coverage toward 17% of the earth surface has led to many PAs failing to stem human pressure. This is particularly the case for nonforested areas, which have not been assessed in previous analysis. Thus, we show that relying only on studies of remote-sensed forest cover can produce a biased picture of the effectiveness of PAs. Moving forward beyond the current biodiversity targets, there is a need to ensure that quality rather than quantity is better integrated and measured.

Borrowing trouble. Finding ways out of value systems discord for biodiversity policy-making

IPBES’ conceptual framework, and the related debates prior to its adoption, provided an interesting opportunity to witness an old and ongoing tension between two value systems, namely an “economic” and utility-based value system, and a “cultural” and comprehensive value system. Arguments for and against both value systems relate, at least partly, to criteria such as practicality, democracy, comprehensiveness and respect for various forms of worldviews. However, disputes regarding the legitimacy of these value systems mostly rest on theoretical ground since they generally focus on the potential threats and future promises of approaches related to these value systems, rather than on their actual impacts and performance. This article aims to contribute to filling this gap.

Climat : pour les assureurs français, la facture des catastrophes climatiques a été salée en 2023

Climat : pour les assureurs français, la facture des catastrophes climatiques a été salée en 2023 | Biodiversité | Scoop.it
En 2023, les catastrophes climatiques en France ont coûté aux assureurs français 6,5 milliards d'euros. En première ligne sur le front de l'indemnisation, les acteurs de l'assurance s'inquiètent de l'intensification des événements météorologiques extrêmes, accentués par le dérèglement climatique.
