  • "Depression: Let’s Talk!" (World Health Day, 07.04.2017)

    Today on World Health Day, the world is focusing on the issue of depression, which has emerged as a major health problem, affecting over 300 million people every year. We now know that mental health is affected by a range of biological, socioeconomic and environmental factors. Increasing people’s engagement with nature and biodiversity can contribute to addressing this illness. American non-fiction author and journalist Richard Louv’s Last Child in the Woods, released over a decade ago, gave us a compelling account of the rise of “nature deficit disorder” among children, resulting from decreased exposure to the outdoors. More recent studies have shown that contact with nature can have a wide variety of beneficial effects on humans. These include positive effects on cognitive abilities and mental restoration from stress and health.

  • "Stop the Illegal Killing, Taking and Trade of Migratory Birds" (World Migratory Bird Day, 10 May 2016)

    As a vital part of biodiversity, migratory birds play key functions in the interconnected systems that keep nature healthy, including seed dispersal of plants for human and livestock consumption, ecosystem restoration and pest regulation, in addition to the important cultural, aesthetic and economic roles they play in the lives of people worldwide.

    Yet despite this, incredible numbers of birds are being lost each year, as a result of illegal killing, taking and trade. While the motives behind these illicit activities are various, they are taking a devastating toll. Millions of birds are being killed each year. These numbers are completely unsustainable, and when placed alongside other pressures, such as habitat loss and climate change, many once common species are facing the very real and distinct threat of extinction.

If Africa is to remain a growth region, what policies should its governments and private sector investors pursue? Is Trade a mechanism for regional integration – are developing countries’ companies regional enough? What is the role of business and industry in development efforts? What footprints do the European businesses leave in the developing world and do they? What social and environmental footprints do businesses generally leave in Africa and is the promotion of green and social working practices common to these companies‘ CSR strategies?

    Belgium and Bulgaria are the latest countries to ratify the Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilization to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), bringing the total number of ratifications to 80.

    The 2010 Nagoya Protocol is a supplementary agreement to the CBD and a key element in the global framework for sustainable development. The Protocol builds on the access and benefit-sharing provisions of the CBD by establishing predictable conditions for access to genetic resources and by helping to ensure the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the utilization of these resources. It entered into force on 12 October 2014.

  • Beyond Enforcement: The role of communities in tackling illegal wildlife trade

    Alarming rises in illegal wildlife trade over the last decade show that tougher law enforcement is not enough to stop poachers from devastating populations of iconic or endangered species. However, the trend towards increasingly militarised law enforcement can harm or alienate the communities who live alongside wildlife and have real power to protect it.

    A recent international symposium organised by IUCN’s Sustainable Use and Livelihoods Specialist Group, IIED, TRAFFIC and partners discussed the incentives and governance structures needed to effectively engage local people in wildlife conservation. Local people must be allowed to benefit from conservation efforts and be supported by responsive, efficient law enforcement agencies as equal partners in the fight against wildlife crime.

    This event is organised in light of the recent international and regional inter-governmental conferences on illegal wildlife trade and forthcoming CITES CoP17.

    The aim is to raise awareness amongst European policy makers as to current imbalance in attention to different policy options for tackling illegal wildlife trade; highlight findings on the limits to a purely enforcement-led approach and present case studies from Africa showcasing effective approaches to community engagement in combating illegal wildlife trade; and foster a dialogue between European policy-makers, international conservation and development organisation, and African practitioners about the lessons learned from community engagement and the policy requirements to support more effective approaches.

  • Biocarburants : quel avenir et quelle place en Belgique?

    Table ronde sur les biocarburants à l'Université Libre de Bruxelles.


    La vague des biocarburants déferle sur le monde. Du Brésil à la Suède, en passant par les Etats-Unis, de nombreux pays se « mettent au vert » pour diminuer les émissions de gaz à effet de serre et principalement pour réduire la dépendance énergétique liée aux combustibles fossiles.

    En Europe, l'objectif est double. D'un côté, augmenter progressivement la part des biocarburants dans l'essence (5,75 % en 2010 et 10 % en 2015). Et de l'autre, promouvoir l'utilisation du bioéthanol E85 et les véhicules adaptés, c'est-à-dire capables de rouler avec de l'essence sans plomb, de l'E85 ou les deux mélangés.
    Le potentiel de production des biocarburants est toutefois limité par les surfaces cultivables nécessaires, et les risques de compétition avec les usages alimentaires. C'est pour cette raison que la recherche se tourne aujourd'hui vers des technologies de seconde génération utilisant des déchets végétaux ainsi que des ressources non alimentaires comme la paille ou le bois. Leur production pose la question essentielle de leur utilisation.

    Dans ce contexte, des questions cruciales émergent : quelle sera la place des biocarburants dans le ''pool'' carburants ? Faudra-t-il adapter la technologie des moteurs ? Les biocarburants ouvrent-ils de nouveaux débouchés à l'agriculture ? Quels sont les autres débouchés pour leur utilisation et à quels coûts ? Quels sont les critères de choix ? De la réponse à ces questions découle l’avenir des biocarburants en Belgique. Autant de questions auxquelles de nombreux spécialistes essayeront d’apporter  des réponses concrètes.

  • BiodiversityKnowledge First Conference

    The conference aims to introduce and discuss broadly the approach of designing a Network of Knowledge (NoK) approach in the area of biodiversity and ecosystem services in Europe. At the heart of it is engaging different knowledge hubs and identify their interests when getting involved.
    The focus of the conference will be on identifying solutions and options for the NoK and identify steps to create a broad community of interest with it. For a detailed discussion, the project team will provide a green paper as basis prior to the conference. To back this with a practical perspective, the conference will also introduce the demonstration cases of the project that will test the processes of the NoK over the next year.
    On the last day, the conference will also discuss the European input into IPBES and other international developments.

  • Celebration of the International Day of Biodiversity 2008

    Biodiversity and Agriculture - 22 May 2008

    Agriculture is a key example of how human activities have profound impacts on the ecosystems of our planet. This year’s theme for the International Day for Biological Diversity (IBD), “Biodiversity and Agriculture,” seeks to highlight the importance of sustainable agriculture not only to preserve biodiversity, but also to ensure that we will be able to feed the world, maintain agricultural livelihoods, and enhance human well being into the 21st century and beyond.

    Different activities will be organised in Belgium to commemorate this day. The CBD National Focal Point will issue a press release compilling the list of the events and gather all relevant information on the CHM website.

    A major debate on the theme 'No Agriculture without Biodiversity' will be organised during the "Foire de Libramont" on Saturday 26 July (PM).

  • Climate Change & Oceans Preservation

    The impact of climate change on the oceans and marine environment poses major challenges. Researchers are sounding the alarm. Even with the most stringent emission reductions, global sea level will rise dramatically, disrupting life on land and in the seas. To meet what is probably the greatest challenge of this century, Belgium is organising the international conference Climate Change and Oceans Preservation in Brussels on Tuesday 19 February 2019. This conference will not only take stock of current issues but will also give countries, sectors and organizations the opportunity to sign the Brussels Declaration and thus reaffirm their commitment to future generations.

  • Conférence "Océan: risques et opportunités"

    Isabelle Autissier nous dévoilera le lien intime qui la relie à la mer. L’océan, cette mémoire vivante de la planète. Quel est son avenir et quel est son salut ?

    Ingénieure agronome spécialisée dans l’halieutique (Science de l'exploitation des ressources vivantes aquatiques), Isabelle Autissier a enseigné dans la recherche en environnement marin. En 1991, elle est la première femme à avoir réalisé un tour du monde à la voile. S’ensuit une riche carrière dans la course au large.

    Navigatrice passionnée, amoureuse des océans, dont elle est l’une des expertes reconnues en France, aujourd’hui écrivaine, administratrice des « Terres australes et antarctiques françaises», de la « Fondation de France » et ambassadrice de la « Fédération internationale des ligues des droits de l’Homme », elle est depuis 2009 Présidente du WWF France.

    À l'occasion de son dixième anniversaire, l'Espace naturel Lille métropole (ENLM) a planté des arbres dans plusieurs des sites qu'il gère, dont la base de loisirs des Prés du Hem. Mais les quatre-vingts fruitiers qui viennent de prendre racine en terre armentiéroise ne seront pas là que pour faire joli. Comme nous l'ont expliqué Johann Staelens, Flamand de Kuurne, et Quentin Spriet, naturaliste de l'ENLM, ce verger sera surtout « jardin pour les lérots ».

    What is EKLIPSE?

    EKLIPSE is an EU-funded project that started in February 2016. The project aims to establish a robust and flexible long-term mechanism for policy support on issues related to Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, communicating and engaging a wide set of knowledge holders in its work and ensuring tailor-made outreach of results – to knowledge requesters and to society more broadly.

    The success of EKLIPSE and its resulting mechanism is in everyone’s hands: the ‘requesters’ who need to know what knowledge is out there to answer their policy or societal needs; the knowledge holders (be they scientists of other citizens) who want their knowledge to mean something; and the extensive networks working on biodiversity and ecosystem services who have the enthusiasm and knowledge to make the mechanism work in the long term.

The EU ABS Regulation, which transposes into the EU legal order the compliance pillar of the Protocol, became applicable as of 12 October 2014. The principal obligations of the Regulation – i.e. Article 4 on due diligence, Article 7 on monitoring user compliance and Article 9 on checks on user compliance – will become applicable as of 12 October 2015. In this context it is important that those who utilise genetic resources (i.e. conduct research and development on the genetic and/or biological composition of genetic resources, including through the application of biotechnology) are aware of the obligations arising from the Regulation, and that they can take the necessary measures to ensure their activities are compliant.

  • Exploring the impact of climate change on the Belgian development cooperation: use & design of scenarios

    presented by Dr. Jean Hugé and Prof. Thomas Block from UGent

    Scenarios allow to explore possible futures and stimulate creative out-of-the box thinking. Climate change will impact the Belgian development cooperation, both directly (influencing development trajectories in our partner countries) and indirectly (through the dynamics of the international climate policy architecture). However, many uncertainties remain regarding what impacts to expect and how to deal with these changes. During this seminar, we will introduce the diversity of use and the design of scenarios, and develop explorative scenarios regarding the impact of climate change on the Belgian development cooperation.

  • FRDO-conferentie : klimaatverandering en gezondheid

    Onder leiding van prof. Jean-Pascal van Ypersele (UCL)

    De klimaatverandering brengt  risico’s  mee, zoals hittegolven, extreme droogte, bosbranden en bepaalde vormen van luchtverontreiniging, maar ook  extreme neerslag en veranderende seizoenen… In deze FRDO-conferentie zal nagegaan worden hoe dit een impact kan hebben op de gezondheid, in Europa en in ons land. Wat zijn de kosten zowel op het vlak van menselijk lijden als financieel voor de samenleving? Welk risico’s lopen kwetsbare groepen als zwangere vrouwen, kinderen, ouderen, mensen met allergieën,... en welk beleid  moet gevoerd worden om hen te beschermen? Hoe anticiperen op deze gezondheidsrisico’s,  zowel voor deze groepen als voor de bevolking in het algemeen? Welk beleid met een positieve impact voor de gezondheid en het klimaat kan gevoerd worden? Hoe win-winsituaties creëren voor de volksgezondheid, het klimaat, het milieu en de overheidsuitgaven ? Dit zijn een aantal van de vragen die aan bod zullen komen tijdens deze conferentie.

  • Family farming: A dialogue towards more sustainable and resilient farming in Europe and the world

    2014 was designated the International Year of Family Farming at the 66th session of the United Nations General Assembly. Led by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), it has the objective of raising the profile of family farming by focusing world attention on its role in alleviating hunger and poverty, providing food security and improving livelihoods, while protecting the environment and biodiversity. In this context, and given the importance of family farming within the European Union and the interlinked relation with farmers from all the world, the European Commission's Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development is organising a conference on "Family farming: A dialogue towards more sustainable and resilient farming in Europe and the world"

  • Financing and biopiracy : The challenges of the next UN Biodiversity Summit (COP11, India)

    PRESENTATION

    Biodiversity represents our most valuable natural heritage and its conservation is one of our most urgent challenges. Beyond its immaterial value, biodiversity plays a vital role for human beings. Water purification, oxygen and carbon recycling, soil fertility, food production, drugs development, and general wealth protection are all examples of benefits provided freely by a healthy biodiversity. Yet human activities and our development choices in particular in the last 50 years have very often led to irreversible loss.

    Biodiversity services are provided for free but their loss has a cost - a huge one: around 50 billion euros a year and up to 14.000 billions euros by 2050. Biodiversity erosion is particularly alarming in developing countries with the constant plunder of their natural richness and corollary the exploitative appropriation of indigenous forms of traditional knowledge, the so-called biopiracy.

    In 2010, the COP10 on Biodiversity in Nagoya (Japan) agreed on a long-awaited Protocol on Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) aiming at putting an end to biopiracy. This new legal instrument was a step forward, yet the whole issue of resource mobilisation for biodiversity protection was left aside.

    In a few weeks time, in October 2012, the COP11 in Hyderabad (India) will have to look at the best way to implement the ABS Protocol and turn it into a successful and efficient tool against biopiracy. In addition the international community is called upon by several civil society organisations to deliver on resource mobilisation and innovative sources of financing for biodiversity protection before it is too late.

    At Hyderabad, how will the challenge of fighting against biopiracy be tackled? Will measures on resource mobilisation live up to the high expectations?

    About GYBN: Building a global youth coalition to halt the loss of Biodiversity!
    GYBN’ vision is to create a global platform that will enable young environmentalists from all parts of the world to connect in order to join forces for the protection of biological diversity on our planet. GYBN also aims to become the international coordination platform for youth participation in the CBD (Convention on Biological Diversity) and is committed to bring the opinions and positions of youth into the negotiations and make their collective voice heard. The establishment of GYBN has been prepared by an interim steering committee, consisting of young people from thirteen countries, which was formed shortly after CBD COP10 in October 2010. GYBN is officially supported by the CBD secretariat.

    About the GYBN Kick-Off meeting: 35 participants, 7 days, 1 goal
    The GYBN Kick-Off meeting will be hosted by NAJU (German Youth Association for the Protection of Nature) from August 21st to 27th in Berlin, Germany, and is organized in close coordination with the GYBN interim steering committee. Among others, the six-day conference will feature capacity building sessions and policy briefings on the CBD and the main issues on the agenda of COP11. Furthermore numerous workshops on topics like lobbying, organizing creative actions and campaigns as well as press- and public relations will be offered. However, the emphasis of the conference will lie on the establishment of GYBN and the preparation of youth participation at COP11. For this purpose participants will take part in a so called “Future Workshop” session and determine the structure, mandate and coordination etc. of GYBN and develop plans and political targets for meaningful youth participation at COP11.

    Regionaal Landschap Schelde-Durme liet een imposante populier en een jonger exemplaar genetisch onderzoeken door het Instituut voor Natuur en Bosonderzoek (INBO). Het vermoeden dat het om de Zwarte populier zou gaan, bleek correct te zijn. De Zwarte populier is de meest bedreigde en zeldzame boomsoort in ons land. Bovendien bleken de bomen nieuw genetisch materiaal te bevatten. Dat is bijzonder, want de meeste Belgische exemplaren zijn genetische klonen van elkaar.

  • Green Infrastructure Futures: from planning to delivery

    The Mersey Forest, with the national Green Infrastructure Partnership, would like to invite you to a conference "Green Infrastructure Futures: from planning to delivery".

    This high profile conference brings together leading experts from academia, the public and private sectors, and beyond to take stock of what has been achieved during the last 10 years of green infrastructure planning, and to consider where next for green infrastructure in north west England and beyond.

    Confirmed speakers include: Paul Nolan OBE, Director, The Mersey Forest; Prof John Handley OBE, University of Manchester; Martin Moss, Senior Advisor, Natural England; John Flaherty, Executive Director Place, Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council; Julia Thrift, Green Infrastructure Partnership and TCPA.

    Over the last ten years, the innovative green infrastructure planning in north west England has been recognised at both UK and EU levels. There has also been a growing understanding in the way that green infrastructure can contribute to a range of benefits to society - including making places more economically attractive; mitigating the effects of climate change; and helping people live healthy, active lives. Now, with public sector funding for green infrastructure in England facing dramatic cuts, there is an opportunity to bring in funding, expertise and commitment to green infrastructure from a range of new sources.  

    The conference will be of interest to anyone who is keen to learn and contribute new ideas to ensure green infrastructure is part of the future success of north west England, the UK, and the EU. Please pass on this message to any of your contacts as relevant.

    We are grateful to the conference supporters: The Mersey Forest; Green Infrastructure Partnership; the EU Interreg IVB GIFT-T! project; Atlantic Gateway Parklands; Peel Group; TCPA.

    We are grateful to the conference supporters: The Mersey Forest; Green Infrastructure Partnership; the EU Interreg IVB GIFT-T! project; Atlantic Gateway Parklands; Peel Group; TCPA.

  • Green Infrastructure: A European Success Story

    Green Infrastructure enables nature to deliver a range of benefits to ecosystems and people, including for health and quality of life. They are key to driving jobs and growth while tackling our environmental challenges head on. Many success cases demonstrate the value of investing in Green Infrastructure. That is why the European Commission in 2013 adopted a strategy promoting Green Infrastructure.

    In order to take stock of its implementation, and renew the political commitment of the different actors involved, the European Commission, the European Committee of the Regions (CoR) and the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC), in cooperation with Intergroups from the European Parliament, are co-organising a conference on "Green Infrastructure: A European success story" on 5 May 2015.

  • Groen en gezondheid

    Tuinieren - en groenbeleving hebben een erg heilzaam effect op de mens. Het stimuleert geest en lichaam, heeft een educatief karakter én bevordert sociale interactie. Kortom, de natuur bezit de kracht om mensen te doen openbloeien. En net daar hebben de meest kwetsbare en zwakke personen in onze samenleving vaak nood aan.

  • Healthy oceans, healthy planet - World Oceans Day, 8 June 2016

    The oceans have long captured the hearts and minds of people around the world. The mysteries of its depths, the wonder of its creatures and the power of its waves have fed our curiosity and imagination since ancient times. The oceans have played an essential role in human history, connecting peoples, driving trade and crafting our various cultures. We now also understand how important the oceans are to human survival, well-being and sustainable development.

    The overall importance of the oceans cannot be understated. More than four billion people rely on fish for a substantial share of their protein intake. The oceans and the life therein are critical to the healthy functioning of the planet, as the oceans support essential biogeochemical processes, supplying, for example, half of the oxygen we breathe. Oceans contain some 250,000 known species and yet many more remain to be discovered - at least two thirds of the word’s marine species are still unidentified. The many species in our oceans also provides a number of medicines and biochemicals. Clearly, planetary well-being, as well as the health, wealth and survival of humans are closely intertwined with the health of the oceans.

  • How human activities cause biodiversity loss : Interactions and relative contributions of human activities; What do we know, what do we need to know ?

    Relevance: This conference stems from the observation that the interactions between, and the relative contributions, of different types of human activities have unclear contributions on current and future biodiversity loss unclear for most researchers. This is largely due to the fact that very few publications compare the effects of these different activities in the same model, and since all these activities have been growing exponentially since 1850, they all correlate well with the quantifications of biodiversity loss.

  • In Loving Memory of Frédéric Chemay (1961-2014)
    It is with deep sadness that the Belgian biodiversity community has learned of the passing of Frédéric Chemay in the night of 30th September 2014. He was 53.

    As Hubert Reeves ever said, “Regarder “loin”, c’est regarder “tôt”” (Looking far is anticipating). This quote seems to have been written for Frédéric. Those who knew him will indeed remember him for his foresight in environmental issues and for always keeping his mind alert. He never stopped developing new projects, opening up new areas for debate and action.

    He will also be remembered by his colleagues for his “struggling” with computers, his very particular sense of order and punctuality, his kindness and his good laughs.

    We all will keep in mind his enthusiasm and untiring dedication to the environment for so many years.

    Forests are much more than trees. As the most biologically-diverse ecosystems on land, forests are home to more than 80 per cent of the terrestrial species of animals, plants and insects. They provide shelter, jobs and security for forest-dependent communities, with approximately 1.6 billion people relying on forest resources for their livelihoods, with most of them (1.2 billion) using trees on farms to generate food and cash.

  • International day for biodiversity 2008

    Biodiversity and Agriculture - 22 May 2008

    Agriculture is a key example of how human activities have profound impacts on the ecosystems of our planet. This year’s theme for the International Day for Biological Diversity (IBD), “Biodiversity and Agriculture,” seeks to highlight the importance of sustainable agriculture not only to preserve biodiversity, but also to ensure that we will be able to feed the world, maintain agricultural livelihoods, and enhance human well being into the 21st century and beyond.

    Different activities will be organised in Belgium to commemorate this day. The CBD National Focal Point will issue a press release compilling the list of the events and gather all relevant information on the CHM website.

    A major debate on 'Biodiversity and Agriculture' will be organised during the "Foire de Libramont" end of July.

  • Keep Nature Alive - Take action!

    In Europe, vital laws protect our most precious nature. Our wildlife and most valued natural places all depend on these rules. Sadly, right now the European Commission is considering undermining these laws, undoing years of progress. The European Commission is asking for our opinion and now is the time to make our voices heard. The Commission’s consultation asks several questions and here we have suggested the answers that best protect nature. We must act now and say that we want these laws to be defended and not weakened.

  • La coccinelle asiatique menace ses cousines européennes.

    La coccinelle asiatique n'est plus la bienvenue en Europe. Introduite à la fin des années 1980 pour lutter contre les pucerons, elle s'attaque également aux coccinelles locales, fragilisant les populations. Le symbole d'une introduction non maîtrisée.

  • MIDIS / développement - Intégrer le genre dans les projets de coopération académique : Pourquoi ? Comment ?

    La place des femmes et le rôle qu'elles jouent dans le développement ont été trop peu valorisés par les analyses théoriques ou les approches politiques. Mais les choses évoluent : depuis les années 1970, la question est devenue de plus en plus centrale dans les réflexions internationales. Aujourd’hui, les institutions de développement reconnaissent l’importance et la nécessité de prendre en compte les rapports de genre dans les programmes de développement et dans les recherches en la matière, pour assurer à la fois le progrès démocratique, l’efficacité de l’aide et celle des politiques sectorielles.

  • MUMM-RBINS: Monitoring of the effects of windmills at sea: report 2012

    With the installation of already 91 windmills, the first two offshore wind farms on the Thorntonbank (C-Power project) and the Blighbank (Belwind project) are nearing completion. Since such major constructions are known to affect the marine environment, a mandatory monitoring programme keeps a close eye on possible major impacts. This year’s integrated report, written by the Management Unit of the Mathematical Model of the North Sea (of the Royal Belgian Institute for Natural Sciences), in cooperation with the Marine Biology Research Group (UGent), INBO and ILVO, confirms wind farms to be hotspots for biodiversity and to be affecting seabirds and marine mammals.

  • Making use of climate services to improve development projects and programmes

    Various initiatives related to climate services are emerging in many developing countries. A climate service can be defined as “a decision aide derived from climate information that assists individuals and organizations in society to make improved ex-ante decision-making” (A. Tall, 2013, “What do we mean by climate services”, Bulletin of the WMO, vol. 62). These initiatives aim at facilitating the adaptation of multiple sectors, including agriculture. This seminar will discuss the concept of climate services and provide an overview of the opportunities that climate services can offer to improve development projects and programmes.

    The conference is being organised under the auspices of ECOSPHERE (European Centre on Sustainable Policies on Human and Environmental Rights), and the Belgian Public Service for Health, Food Chain Safety and the Environment.

    The conference will start by reviewing some of Marc’s major accomplishments with many of the people with whom Marc worked during his career. We will then discuss the Aarhus Convention – its successes and the challenges still ahead in achieving the vision of Marc and its other drafters. The final session will take a broader look at the field of human rights and the environment.

  • Mineral Extraction versus Ecology

    After a workshop organised 27 November 2015 and a series of excursions to different types of raw materials extraction conducted this year, the ad-hoc working group observed that former or reclaimed mining sites regain valuable ecological functions and may even attain a higher level of biodiversity than the original lands before mining. Multiple former extraction sites are transformed into Natura 2000 or other protected sites, or even are becoming new wilderness areas. The ad-hoc working group has concluded that mining and ecology should become allies and agreed to the organisation of a symposium, with the intention to promote a better understanding of the mutual interests by the industry and the conservationists and at informing a wider audience.

  • New EU action to protect biodiversity against problematic invasive species

    The European Commission has published a proposal for a Regulation on the prevention and management of the introduction and spread of invasive alien species. The proposal seeks to address the problem of invasive alien species in a comprehensive manner so as to protect native biodiversity and ecosystem services, as well as to minimize and mitigate the human health or economic impacts that these species can have.

    Invasive alien species (IAS) are recognized as major drivers of biodiversity loss, but few causal relationships between IAS and species declines have been documented. In this study, authors compared the distribution (Belgium and Britain) and abundance (Belgium, Britain and Switzerland) of formerly common and widespread native ladybirds before and after the arrival of Harmonia axyridis, a globally rapidly expanding IAS.

  • Nieuwe Rode Lijst toont dat 38% van Vlaamse broedvogels in gevaar is

    Op basis van een evaluatie van 161 Vlaamse broedvogelsoorten blijkt dat 38% ‘ernstig bedreigd’, ‘bedreigd’ of ‘kwetsbaar’ is. Minder dan de helft van de soorten wordt momenteel als niet in gevaar beschouwd. Vooral vogels van kust- en landbouwgebieden hebben het moeilijk.

    De nieuwe Rode Lijst werd opgemaakt door het INBO in samenwerking met Natuurpunt. De lijst verscheen zopas in Natuur.oriolus, het ornithologisch tijdschrift van Natuurpunt.

  • Plastic in de oceaan - Wat is het probleem en wat kunnen we doen?

    Elk jaar belandt er ongeveer 8 miljoen ton aan plastics in de zeeën en oceanen, dit staat gelijk aan 35 scheepscontainers per uur! Stromingen en wind zorgen er voor dat plastic gevonden wordt van Antarctica tot de Stille Zuidzee en van het wateroppervlakte tot de zeebodem. In vele gevallen duurt het eeuwen vooraleer dit plastic vergaat. De impact is dan ook groot; meer dan 1400 diersoorten ondervinden de vaak dodelijke gevolgen van dit wereldwijde fenomeen. Vele diersoorten geraken verstrikt in plastic of zien het aan voor voedsel.

  • Plastic pollution in our ocean – Tackling a mammoth task

    Between 4 and 12 million tons of plastic end up in the ocean every year. That is equivalent to about one shipping container filled with plastic dumped into the ocean every minute. Once in the ocean, plastic doesn’t disappear. Ocean currents and winds carry it to every corner of the planet and, on top of that, it often takes hundreds of years to decompose, accumulating in the water column or on the seafloor – often with deadly consequences. Up to 1,400 different species are affected by marine litter: they get entangled or injured by rubbish or confuse plastic with food. Once in the food chain, plastic threatens not only animals, but perhaps also humans.

    Chaque année, entre 4.8 et 12.7 milliards kilogrammes de plastique sont rejetés dans l'océan, soit l’équivalent de 35 containeurs maritimes par heure. Une fois dans l'océan, le plastique ne disparaît pas. Les courants et les vents le transportent aux quatre coins de la planète et, en plus, il faut souvent des centaines d'années pour se décomposer. Le plastique donc s’accumule dans la colonne d'eau ou dans le grand fond - souvent avec des conséquences mortelles. Jusqu'à 1400 espèces différentes sont touchées par les déchets marins: elles s'emmêlent ou sont blessées par les déchets ou confondent le plastique et la nourriture. Une fois dans la chaîne alimentaire, le plastique menace non seulement les animaux, mais peut-être aussi les humains.

    Ainsi, chaque année, un arbre ou un arbuste différent est mis à l'honneur. En 2007, il s'agit de la viorne.  Le Ministère de la Région Wallonne propose trois types d'actions:

    1. distribution de plants aux particuliers
    2. plantation dans un espace public
    3. ménagement d'un espace naturel

    Une administration communale peut mener, une, deux ou les trois actions simultanément. Tout autre promoteur (école, association,...) pourra mener l'action 2 ou l'action 3 ou les deux simultanément.

  • Smart Cities in Europe: Promoting Sustainability, Innovation and Cooperation

    According to the European Commission, cities account for about 80% of energy use and generate up to 85% of Europe's GDP. They are perceived as the source of today’s economic and environmental challenges as well as the solution for a sustainable future. Given that more than 70 % of the EU-28’s population lives in urban areas – with urbanization rates expected to continuously increase, it is thus pivotal to help develop smart cities and work towards economically viable and environmentally sustainable solutions in European cities.

Given that more than 70 % of the EU-28’s population lives in urban areas – with urbanization rates expected to continuously increase, it is thus pivotal to help develop smart cities and work towards economically viable and environmentally sustainable solutions in European cities.

  • Stakeholder Consultation on the Final Evaluation of the EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020

    Less than two years remain until the end of 2020 - the deadline to deliver on the biodiversity targets set by the global Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 and the EU Biodiversity strategy to 2020. Yet, recent reports indicate that humanity is not on track to halt the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services (See reports of the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES)).

    Biodiversity is essential for human wellbeing, the economy, as well as for our society’s capacity to address climate change and to deliver on the Sustainable Development Goals.

    The EU and its Member States are taking stock of efforts and achievements in their 6th National Report to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). Debates are also gaining momentum on the post-2020 global biodiversity framework, as part of the process launched at the 14th UN Biodiversity Conference of the Parties to the CBD in November 2018.

  • Sustainable and green cities in the South

    Some mega-cities in the South have more inhabitants than  Belgium, but also have large slum areas. Smaller cities are confronted with unprecedented growth and city councils are grappling with providing a suitable infrastructure.  On the other hand cities are also often cited as the policy level where a green development is taking place. How can city planners and development aid avoid pitfalls from the past and create more sustainable and greener cities? The session will give an introduction to the current thinking and is illustrated with practical examples from over the globe.

    Urban areas account for more than 70% of the population within the EU. According to the European Commission, urban areas consume also 70% of energy whilst they account for 75% of the EU's greenhouse gas emissions, therefore making cities the place where most energy savings could be made. Furthermore, cities are centres for most of the economic, social and cultural activities in Europe creating approximately 80% of the EU’s GDP. As urbanisation is expected to increase in the following decades, there is an urgent need to work towards further developing models that promote more citizen-centred, economically viable and environmentally sustainable solutions in European cities.

  • Symposium Paul Duvigneaud: Vers une nouvelle synthèse écologique

    Paul Duvigneaud (1913-1991)

    Professeur à l’Université Libre de Bruxelles, il aurait eu 100 ans en 2013.

    Il est l’auteur de La Synthèse écologique (1974), un des tout premiers livres d’écologie générale en langue française. L’ouvrage, réédité en 1980, traduit en de nombreuses langues, a connu un grand succès de librairie. Il reste un outil important pour l’enseignement, notamment grâce à son illustration de grande qualité.

    A cette occasion, l’Université Libre de Bruxelles, le Centre Paul Duvigneaud de documentation écologique et le Centre International pour la Ville, l’Architecture et le Paysage, organisent un symposium.

    L’objectif du Symposium est d’examiner comment la science écologique a évolué depuis la publication de la Synthèse écologique. Cette évolution concerne autant des changements dans les concepts et méthodes de l’écologie scientifique, mais aussi dans un rapprochement avec les sciences humaines, avec l’émergence du mot « environnement », du concept de service écosystémique et de la notion de développement durable.

    Le Symposium donnera lieu à l’édition d’un ouvrage « Vers une nouvelle Synthèse écologique - de l’écologie scientifique au développement durable ».

  • Symposium on Climate Change and Climate Adaptation. The consequences of climate changes in the South. How do we protect our (development) projects?

    By the end of 2016, the United Nations confirmed 2016 as the hottest year on record. Global climate is changing and we must deal with that in two ways. On one hand we need to reduce our carbon emissions on a global scale, and on the other hand we need to adapt to the impacts of climate change on a local scale.

    It is known that there are major climate changes in the South as well, and therefore it is important that 4th pillar organisations, active in development cooperation in the South, intensify their efforts in the fight against climate change. The city of Hasselt wants to support its 4th pillar organisations by integrating climate adaptation within their projects. This creates interesting results which we want to share and discuss with other communities in Flanders and various actors in the field of development cooperation.

  • Séminaire "Financer l'adaptation au changement climatique dans les pays en développement : comment faire en pratique ?"

    Après la conférence de Lima, au moment où le financement de l'adaptation au changement climatique est plus que jamais à l'ordre du jour, deux exposés-débats pour envisager les questions pratiques posées par l’adaptation :

    1. Compatibilité des approches « adaptation au changement climatique » et « développement durable » dans les projets Nord-Sud : réflexions tirées de l’expérience

    La préparation de programmes d’adaptation au changement climatique soulève des interrogations sur l’adéquation de ce type d’interventions pour le développement durable. A partir de deux études de cas, cet exposé se propose d’apporter des éléments de réponse aux questions suivantes : quelles actions financer au nom de l’adaptation, en quoi les projets ou programmes d’adaptation diffèrent d’autres actions de développement, quels enseignements en tirer, faut-il vraiment financer de tels projets ou programmes ?

    Ingénieur agronome, Jean-Paul Ledant est consultant indépendant en environnement et coopération au développement depuis plus de quinze ans. Ses activités les plus récentes portent sur l’identification, la formulation et l’évaluation de projets et programmes, l’adaptation au changement climatique, l’évaluation environnementale et l’intégration de la dimension environnementale dans les interventions de coopération. Ses missions l’ont conduit dans plus de quarante pays en développement (Asie, Pacifique, Amérique latine, Caraïbes, Afrique, océan Indien).

    2. Mécanismes, enjeux, atouts et limites du soutien budgétaire général à l’appui des politiques d’adaptation : illustrations à partir du cas du Vietnam

    Depuis 2008, plusieurs bailleurs de fonds importants (Banque mondiale, Commission européenne, JICA et AFD, entre autres) ont octroyé des aides budgétaires générales (sous la forme dans certains cas de prêts de plusieurs centaines de millions de dollars), accompagnées d’assistance technique, à différents pays en développement à l’appui de leurs stratégies climatiques. L’étude de ces approches « innovantes » permet d’illustrer certaines des difficultés auxquelles sont confrontés les donateurs et les bénéficiaires face au défi climatique mais aussi les comportements stratégiques de toute une série d’acteurs tentant de se positionner par rapport à ces enjeux.

    Romain Weikmans est en dernière année de thèse de doctorat au CEDD. Il s’intéresse dans ce cadre à l’interface entre le financement international de l’adaptation et la coopération au développement. Il a notamment co-rédigé (avec Valentine van Gameren et Edwin Zaccai) le volume de la collection Repères (Editions La Découverte) consacré à l’adaptation au changement climatique (2014).

  • Séminaire : Agriculture itinérante sur brûlis en RDC

    Dans les zones forestières, l'agriculture sur brûlis est l'agriculture paysanne par excellence en République Démocratique du Congo. Méthode d'agriculture particulièrement appropriée pour l'approvisionnement alimentaire des populations et capable de répondre aux besoins humains tout en ayant peu d'impact sur la conservation, il apparaît que ce mode d'agriculture est devenu, sous l'effet de la pression démographique, une des principales causes de déforestation.

    What should the post 2020 European biodiversity strategy look like? How will research contribute to this strategy and help to define its goals?

    The 2019 biennial conference hosted by ALTER-Net and EKLIPSE will explore these very questions. With the central theme of the post 2020 European biodiversity targets and the potential contributions of scientific research, we will take a proactive role in the consideration and shaping of this critical strategy.

  • The State of Nature in the EU - Small improvements but a long way to go...

    The State of Nature report provides an important snapshot of the current situation as regards conservation status and trends for over 2,000 species and habitat types protected under the two EU nature Directives. From this it is clear  that, while there is still a long way to go to reach to 2020 target, the Directives are managing to ‘hold the line’ across a significant part of Europe’s biodiversity. This is reflected in the fact that some of the species and habitats protected by the directives are beginning to show modest signs of improvement.

  • The biodiversity that is crucial for our food and agriculture is disappearing by the day

    The first-ever report of its kind presents mounting and worrying evidence that the biodiversity that underpins our food systems is disappearing – putting the future of our food, livelihoods, health and environment under severe threat.

    Once lost, warns FAO’s State of the World’s Biodiversity for Food and Agriculture report, launched today, biodiversity for food and agriculture – i.e. all the species that support our food systems and sustain the people who grow and/or provide our food – cannot be recovered.

  • Tourism for All: Promoting Universal Accessibility - World Tourism Day, 27 September 2016

    Biodiversity, the variety of life on Earth, provides us with a wealth of natural resources that are extremely important for the tourism sector. Biodiversity underpins places of beauty that are so often popular tourist destinations, such as tropical forests, coast beaches and national parks, thus re-enforcing the notion that a healthy natural environment is one of the world’s most important tourism attractions. Visiting nature also serves to heighten awareness of its intrinsic value for us all.


    In 1950 there were nearly 25 million international tourists crossing borders in a single year; today there are around 1.2 billion people travelling the world. Travelling has become an important part of many people’s lives and livelihoods. International tourism generates around US$ 1.5 trillion worldwide per year in export earnings, accounting for about 9 per cent of global employment. For areas of unique natural beauty that attract large numbers of visitors, a healthy natural environment is an essential asset– a beach holiday, for example, requires clean, swimmable, water and healthy coastal ecosystems, such as mangroves, coral reefs, coastal forests and the flora and fauna that inhabits them. Accordingly, the significance of tourism for biodiversity has been reflected in decisions by the Convention’s Conference of the Parties (COP) since the fifth meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP 5) in 2000, where a decision by the Parties recognized the importance of tourism for social and economic development at local, national and regional levels. Sustainable tourism has the potential to contribute to meeting at least 12 of the 20 Aichi Biodiversity Targets, adopted in 2010.

  • Trees for the Earth - International Mother Earth Day (22 April)

    This year, International Mother Earth Day coincides with the signing ceremony for the Paris Agreement on Climate Change at UN Headquarters in New York, where world governments will demonstrate their commitment to meet the challenges of climate change. The signing of the agreement by so many governments, with some 155 countries expected to attend the signing ceremony, provides optimism for our ability to take the necessary steps to change how we live on this Earth.


    In celebrating International Mother Earth Day, we pause to reflect on the importance of the world’s forests, not only for mitigating and adapting to climate change, but also for their vital contribution to biodiversity conservation and human well-being. All of humanity relies on the abundant natural resources and ecosystems services that forests provide.

    Van het begin van de lente tot laat in de herfst zorgen vlinders voor plezierige en kleurrijke ontmoetingen in je tuin. Toch zijn heel wat soorten veel minder talrijk dan vroeger, anderen nemen dan weer opnieuw lichtjes toe. Vlinders zijn gevoelige organismen die snel reageren op veranderingen.

    Het aantal vlinders en vlindersoorten vertelt ons iets over de toestand van de natuur. Door de vlinders in je tuin te tellen, kan ook jij meten hoe het met de natuur in je omgeving is gesteld. Meedoen is eenvoudig: je kan op de website van Natuurpunt het maximum doorgeven van de waargenomen vlinders in je tuin.

  • UN biodiversity report identifies risks and uncertainties of novel strategies to tackle climate change

    The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) has published a detailed assessment of the implications of using climate geoengineering to limit global warming. Approaches considered include the large-scale removal of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, as assumed in nearly all climate models that limit the increase in mean global temperature to below 2°C.

    “A rapid transition to a low-carbon economy is the priority to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and in turn
    reduce the adverse impacts of climate change, including impacts on biodiversity,” said CBD Executive
    Secretary, Braulio Ferreira de Souza Dias, in the foreword of the new report.

    “However, given the current atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations, their long atmospheric residence
    times and the relatively limited action to date to reduce future emissions, the use of geoengineering
    techniques has been suggested and is being explored as a potential additional means to limit the magnitude
    of climate change.”

  • Use of Genetic resources - the impact of a new regulatory framework on your R&D activities

    workable system for access to genetic resources is crucial for the future of our life sciences and biotech companies. A new international legal framework has been set up, known as the Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits arising from their Uitilisation. Since the adoption of the Nagoya Protocol, the matter of so called Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) has grown in importance. Regional and national implementing laws are currently under discussion. On October 2015, the EU Regulation 511/2014 of 16 April 2014 on compliance measures on ABS will come into full force. Work on additional (sector specific) guidance is ongoing. The federal and regional authorities are currently also establishing the Belgian legal framework on ABS.
    An ideal momentum to learn about this new regulatory framework, exchange views with others, chech wether you are compliant with these new rules and to take part in the ongoing discussions.

    About the film

    In the forested depths of eastern Congo lies Virunga National Park, one of the most biodiverse places on Earth and home to the planet’s last remaining mountain gorillas. In this wild, but enchanted environment, a small and embattled team of park rangers protect this UNESCO world heritage site from armed militia, poachers and the dark forces struggling to control Congo's rich natural resources.

    A powerful combination of investigative journalism and nature documentary, VIRUNGA is the incredible true story of a group of courageous people risking their lives to build a better future in a part of Africa the world’s forgotten, and a gripping exposé of the realities of life in the Congo.

  • World Cities Day, 31 October 2016

    Biodiversity and associated ecosystem services are critical for the quality of life and the resilience of
    cities. While cities occupy just 2 per cent of the Earth's surface, their inhabitants use 75 per cent of the
    Earth’s natural resources. Cities draw on surrounding ecosystems for goods and services, and their
    products and emissions can affect regional and even global ecosystems. Healthy ecosystems and
    biodiversity are vital for cities to function properly. Ecosystems provide many kinds of services to the
    city: provisioning of food, fibre and fuels; regulating through purification, detoxification, buffering of heat
    islands and mitigation of droughts and floods; contributing to physical and mental health through exercise,
    increasing real estate value due to valuation of green spaces, and enriching the spiritual, aesthetic and
    social life of urban dwellers.

  • World Health Day (7 April)

    The World Health Organization’s objective of scaling up the prevention, care, and surveillance of diabetes on World Health Day 2016 provides a timely opportunity to reflect upon the profound impacts of biodiversity loss and its consequences for human and planetary health. The conservation, sustainable use of biodiversity in agricultural landscapes, forests and other terrestrial ecosystems, seascapes and freshwater systems can contribute to dietary diversity and to reducing the rising global health threat posed by diabetes and diet-related diseases
    through its potential contributions to healthier diets and food choices.

  • World Water Day (22 March)

    Water is our most valuable natural asset and is at the core of sustainable development. Life could not exist on Earth without water. Water resources, and the range of services they provide, also underpin poverty eradication, economic growth and environmental sustainability. From food and energy security to human and environmental health, water contributes to improvements in social well-being and inclusive growth, affecting the livelihoods of billions.

  • World Wildlife Day - The future of wildlife is in our hands (3 March)

    Integral to the balance of nature, wildlife nurtures us with a sense of wonder and serves as a source of inspiration. Wildlife is also the basis of biodiversity. Biodiversity in the wild is just as important to our wellbeing as biodiversity in plants and animals used for human consumption. Wildlife is incremental to forestry, fishery and tourism livelihoods around the world. Quite simply, biodiversity keep ecosystems functional providing the ecosystem services that allow us to survive, get enough food to eat and make a living.


    The conservation and sustainable use of wildlife is therefore a critical component of sustainable development, and should be part of a comprehensive approach to achieving poverty eradication, food security and sustainable livelihoods.
