News
Impacts of Green & Blue spaces on Mental Health
Two new reports now out
We are glad to release two reports from an Eklipse Expert Working Group on Mental Health and Urban Green & Blue spaces. Based on two systematic reviews, these reports identify and explore the beneficial effects of green and blue areas on human mental health and well-being. They highlight the importance of these spaces’ type and characteristics, and the need for more, targeted research on their effects.
Focus on a request –
Biodiversity and the Common Agricultural Policy
The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) offers a crucial opportunity for the European Union to effectively intervene for biodiversity and deliver general societal benefits. An Eklipse Working Group (EWG) has developed a number of recommendations for improving the uptake of measures supporting biodiversity (and associated ecosystem services), built on all of the evidence and knowledge available. To learn more about this request put forward to Eklipse by IUCN and the Swedish Board of Agriculture, consult the request´s webpage, read the outputs (report, article…) or listen to our podcast.
