Transformative Change for Nature
ENCA and its members want to engage about transformative change for nature (TCfN) to help develop roadmaps for combined policy action and implementation and to identify key next steps with different sectors and stakeholders.
What is transformative change for nature?
The IPBES Global Assessment explains it as a fundamental system-wide reorganization across technological, economic and social factors including paradigms, goals and values. More simply, ‘..it means doing things differently - not just a little more or less of something we’re already doing.’ asthe Assessment’s Lead Author Kai Chang explains.ipbes article: What Is Transformative Change, and How Do We Achieve It?
Why start a transformative change for nature journey?
Nature needs fully integrating into all economic, social and environment institutional agendas and decision-making frameworks.
Transformative change is urgently needed to truly halt nature loss and secure recovery for a ‘nature-positive’ future; it relates to all the new Global Biodiversity Framework’s 4 Goals and 23 Targets.
What’s ENCA’s Role?
Alongside our nature specific remits, we want work with production, consumption, governance, and financial interests to develop ’pro-biodiversity’ transformative changes. We want to use our nature conservation policy and technical experience, insights, and influence to guide and help develop transformative changes for nature.
Our Engagement Piece is a starting narrative to encourage dialogue with any sectoral or institutional interests around this crucial agenda. We are compiling illustrative examples to support dialogue, our own collective learning and identifying possible priorities or ‘gaps’. Below are some from our own organisations, and we would be very interested in hearing/learning about further examples from others.
- Like to engage with the private sector (and others!)
- Link to business & biodiversity initiatives etc.
