Are you an expert in environmental impact and ecosystem services assessments, governance and/or biodiversity policy with particular experience in the mitigation hierarchy? Apply until May 12th 2021
Eklipse was created in 2016 to help governments, institutions, businesses and NGOs make better-informed decisions when it comes to biodiversity in Europe. A European Union funded project until November 2020, it is now managed by Alternet, the European Science-Policy Interface on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services.
Eklipse has already answered requests on a vast range of topics, by synthesizing the best available knowledge from scientists and other knowledge holders.
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.
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.
Eklipse offers you the opportunity to explore its values and past requests by listening to enlightening conversations with experts, sharing their knowledge with us. Visit our podcast webpage and learn more about Eklipse added values (first episode), Transformative change for sustainability (Second episode), Pollinator conservation measures (Third episode) , Restoration of biodiversity and ecosystem services (Fourth episode) and Nature Based Solutions for urban areas (Fifth episode).
