There is no doubt that the 23 targets of the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework are highly welcome and ambitious - the challenge now is to implement the agreement of the Kunming-Montreal COP 15. This raises the question of which procedures and methods of implementation can and should be used to achieve the objectives of these targets appropriately. The task is by no means trivial, as it is not just about preserving biodiversity, but about "system solutions" that protect and preserve natural capital and at the same time make a positive contribution to human development ("human capital") and subsistence ("produced capital"). This session will analyze concrete examples to critically examine possible contributions that transdisciplinary approaches and real-world labs can make to achieving the targets of the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework.

Speakers:

Frank Ewert (Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research – ZALF, Müncheberg, Germany) – “Living labs to support agri-food system transformation – Concept, success and risk of failure”

Eszter Kelemen (Environmental Social Science Research Group, Hungary) – “BioAgora – Connecting biodiversity knowledge and decision-making”

Matthias Schündeln (Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany) – “Environmental effects of development programs – Lessons learnt”

Ranjini Murali (Humboldt-University Berlin, Germany) – “Engaging diverse worldviews to meet global biodiversity targets”
