Biodiversity is the variation of life. All life - animals, plants, microorganisms and fungi - work together with others in ecosystems creating balance in the world. It is one of the most important, maybe even the most important pillar, for a sustainable, [[regenerative future]]. - ## Organisations working on biodiversity (possibly related to cosmetics industry) - [[United Nations]] - UN Framework Convention on Climate Change - UN Convention on Biological Diversity - [[World Economic Forum]] - [[Union for Ethical Biotrade|UEBT]] - [[IPBES]] - [[WWF]] - ## Frameworks, regulatory and agreements - Global Biodiversity Framework - [[SDG 15 Life on land]] - ## Sources - [[Sector Transitions to Nature Positive - Deep Dive on Beauty and Biodiversity]] - [[📑 The Courage to Change]] - [[2024 Living Planet Report]] - [[Global assessment report on biodiversity and ecosystem services of the ntergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services]] - [[Nature Positive: Role of the Household and Personal Care Products Sector]] # Biodiversity 🔗 climate change Biodiversity is declining rapidly in the last 50 years[^1] It is not only that species work together in ecosystems - biodiversity and [[Climate change - even scientists are becoming activists now]] go hand in hand as well. Were climate change is the main driver of biodiversity loss, biodiversity itself helps limit carbon emissions that drive climate change. For example: peatlands can store twice as much CO2 as forests can. They are often drained or burned for agriculture, which not only decreases their carbon storage space, it also releases the stored carbon. Protecting peatlands therefore works in both ways. During a [[Climate Fresk]] this whole system becomes clear. - [[Triple Planetary Crisis]] - [[Climate change - even scientists are becoming activists now]] - [[Biodiversity]] loss - [[Pollution]] # Biodiversity 🔗 cosmetic industry > [!fun-fact] > Lush is working with regenerative farms in Uganda, Peru and Guatemala. # To explore & pounder ⬇️ question:: how can cosmetics professionals improve biodiversity? question:: [[⍰ relationship between our feelings of disconnect with nature and biodiversity loss]] %% # Sort out - [[Fermenting waste as a sustainability method]] - [[Interview in de Green Beauty Conversations podcast]] - [[Lecture notes of Age of Sustainable Development]] - [[Living in a State of Multiple Crises Health, Nature, Climate, Economy, or Simply Systemic Unsustainability by European Environment Agency]] - [[Pretend to Save the World A Formulator's Mindset to Sustainable Cosmetics]] - [[Provenance framework]] - [[Regeneratief antwoord van Tom Bisschop in de mail op 2024-09-26]] - [[Regenerative Future]] - [[SDG 15 Life on land]] - [[Sojo Palm Oil from Wageningen]] - [[The EU and Climate Inaction A Call for Consistency and Action]] - [[The transparency revolution unveiling the ethics of cosmetics]] - [[The urgent call for sustainability in cosmetic science]] - [[Unlocking the Potential of Fermentation in Cosmetics A Review by Cristina Pérez-Rivero and José Pablo López-Gómez]] - [[Verantwoordelijkheid nemen voor kolonisatie]] - [[Union for Ethical Biotrade|UEBT]] > [!context]+ Unrequited Notes > These notes point directly to this note.
