- 3. Spotlight years Climate Nature & biodiversity Natural Resources Environment & health 1970’s/1980s till today Protect species & habitats Reduce waste impact Reduce emissions of pollutants 1990’s till today Reduce GHG’s from industry, agriculture & transport. Renewable energy Ecological networks, invasive species, reduce pressure from food, feed, fuel, fibre production Recycle waste, Reduce waste, Prevention approach Reduce emissions from pollutants into air, water, soil. Improve regulation of chemicals 2000s till today Economy wide approaches, balance drivers of consumption. Share global burdens of adaptation and mitigation Integrate ecosystem services linked to climate change, resource use and health. Account for use natural capital in management decisions Improve efficiency of resource use and consumption in the face of increasing demand, reduced resources and competition. Cleaner production Better link human and ecosystem health. Reduce people’s combined exposure to harmful pollutants. Increased complexity> no easy fix WWF: protect WWF: protect, manage, restore WWF: Biodiversity & footprint goals

Living Planet Report 2012 Living Planet Report 2012 Shorter title Secondary information can go here XX-XX Month, Year Additional information can run Underneath if necessary WWF- main goals Biodiversity 2050 goal: By 2050, the integrity of the most outstanding natural places on earth is conserved, contributing to a more secure and sustainable future for all Footprint 2050 goal: By 2050, humanity’s global footprint stays within the earth’s biocapacity to sustain life, and the natural resources of our planet are shared equitably 9 April 2015 - 4

- 9. Two main indicators Living Planet Index • Based on data from the Zoological Society of London • Based on the trend of 10,380 populations of 3,038 vertebrates from different biomes and regions • Start data 1970 Ecological Footprint • Based on data from the Global Footprint Network (GFN) • The area required to produce the resources people consume, the area occupied by infrastructure, and the area of forest required for sequestering CO2 not absorbed by the ocean
- 10. Ecological Footprint Pro • Scientific method (GFN) to put different footprints in one indicator • Compare different individuals/ countries/ companies • Compare with availibily (biocapacity) Contra • CO2 conversion in gha is controversial • Water/waste not included • Good for EF can be bad for other issues eg nucleair energy/ animal welfare etc.

Trends in governance (EEA, 2010): • Increasing regional cooperation and integration • Growing importance of groupings of leading countries such as BRIC,G8 and G20 (instead of UN) • Increasingly diverse approaches to regulation and a stonger role for softer forms of policy coodination i.e. guidelines, frameworks and codes) • Growing relevance of non-state actors (corporations, NGO’s and hybrid forms of public private governance)

- 44. Certification • WWF co-founder of MSC & ASC • Intense involvement in FSC history • Roundtables: RTRS, RSPO • Also small scale improvements, use other instruments (circle hooks, viswijzer) • Certification is not enough: also change consumption patterns (UNEP 2014)
- 45. Priority actions: 3. Consume more wisely • Change energy consumption patterns • Promote healthy consumption patterns • Achieve low-footprint lifestyles
- 46. Priority actions: 4. Redirect financial flows • Value nature • Account for environmental and social costs • Support and reward conservation, sustainable resource management and innovation
- 47. Priority actions: 5. Equitable resource governance • Share available resources • Make fair and ecologically informed choices • Measure success “beyond GDP” • Achieve sustainable population
- 48. A view results 2014: - No oil drilling in Virunga NP (Congo) - 60 million ha protected area’s in Amazone and no danmen in Tapajas Amazone river - All core areas siberian tiger protected - 3.4 million ha whale area protected by Argentinië - 85% supermarkets in Netherlands promotes MSC - Imports shark fin in Hongkong with 35% declined
- 49. WWF priority actions 1. Preserve natural capital 2. Produce better 3. Consume more wisely 4. Redirect financial flows 5. Equitable resource governance Ecosystem integrity Biodiversity conservation Food, water and energy security Unique combination: governments – companies - field work Global to local Close collaboration with partners
