Nature-friendly diet: Policy brief outlines recommendations for global biodiversity protection

In October 2024, the international community will come together at the Convention on Biodiversity (COP 16) in Colombia to agree on further measures to protect global biodiversity. A healthy, plant-based diet is key to halting the loss of biodiversity. Measures for a biodiversity-friendly food system are therefore recommended by the Institute for Ecological Economy Research together with authors from other sustainability organizations in a recent policy brief.

Heute habe ich mir ein #Gartenprojekt von Leuten angesehen, die in ihrem großen Hinterhofbereich in Tegel einen #BiodiversityPlan ausgeheckt & seit 3 Jahren Schritt für Schritt umgesetzt haben. Blumenwiese, Reisighaufen, verschiedene Bäume, nur noch 1x im Jahr selber mähen... Gerade wurden auch die Dächer umgebaut, sodass das Regenabwasser jetzt statt in den Gulli direkt in den Gartenbereich läuft. Die Nachbarn akzeptieren das alles auch mittlerweile.

The ocean is:
