“…Thus, a science‐based and measurable GBF is needed. While ABS should be regarded as an integral part of sustainable use, conservation and restoration require additional means of resource mobilization such as biodiversity impact‐based contributions, accounting of value and true costs, green investments, or repealing of biodiversity‐damaging subsidies, among others (Delabre et al , 2021). These ideas need to be more thoroughly considered and flanked by science‐based indicators which—through meaningful impact assessments—will help to effectively guide the intended transformative change in our relationship with nature.…”

he 15 th UN Biodiversity Conference (COP-15) in Kunming, China, presents an opportunity for transformative change to address the biodiversity crisis. However, a lack of consensus on two key issues-mobilization of the necessary resources; and the scope and functioning of regulatory regimes that govern access to genetic resources and the sharing of benefits resulting from their use-threaten progress under the next 10-year strategic plan of the Convention on Biological Diversity. We highlight systemic misconceptions concerning the financing of biodiversity and the burden this places on the Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) system. We caution that unworkable ABS regulatory frameworks and conflating ABS with resource mobilization could disrupt science policies built on open access, with potentially severe ramifications for research and innovation. To resolve these tensions, we call for a recalibration of ABS to maximize the value delivered by biodiversity for all of society, including indigenous peoples and local communities.

“…“Sustainable diets” are not mentioned directly and clearly in the SDGs; however, according to the post-2020 global biodiversity framework, in achieving the vision of “living in harmony with nature,” shifting toward a sustainable diet is one of the key actions required ( 28 ). This study is an attempt undertaken to summarize current literature on the sustainability of the Iranian diet in order to inform decision-makers on changes required to dietary guidelines and policies to be both nutritionally adequate and environmentally sustainable and to identify potential trade-offs.…”

Shifting to a Sustainable Dietary Pattern in Iranian Population: Current Evidence and Future Directions

et al. 2021

The need for a shift in diet toward a more sustainable one has reached an urgency in certain regions, including Iran, due to more rapid climate change and a higher level of vulnerability. This study was undertaken to identify and summarize available data on changes required in the current Iranian diet to make it more sustainable and the extent to which current policies in the country have addressed such a shift. In this study, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of science, as well as Iranian scientific search engines, including Scientific Information Database and Magiran, were systematically searched from January 1990 to July 2021. A total of 11 studies and policy analyses were included in this study. Based on the findings, moving Iranian diet toward sustainability will require increase in consumption of dairy, fruits, vegetables, cereals, poultry, and legumes and decrease in consumption of bread, rice, pasta, red meat, eggs, fats, sugars, and sweets. There has been a great deal of effort and investment on policies and strategies to decrease the amount of sugar, salt, and fat (specifically trans-fatty acids) in the Iranian diet, which makes it more sustainable healthwise. Several policies and programs have been implemented to tackle non-communicable diseases (NCDs) by reducing access to unhealthy foods, which is in line with health dimension of a sustainable diet. However, there is almost no direct address to ecological aspect of sustainable diet in the food and nutrition policy documents in the ccountry. Development of an enabling environment to a sustainable diet will require policy and actions to improve public awareness, support study to provide evidence and identify possible alternatives, and plan and implement interventions/programs to promote and facilitate healthy and sustainable diets.

“…This is another aspect of high CO 2 and stress combination that needs to be addressed, particularly in light of the potential negative effects of stress combinations on NUE. Because the breath of high CO 2 effects on crops is too vast to cover here, the reader is directed to several excellent reviews on the subject (Ainsworth and Long, 2021;Bright and Lund, 2021;Delabre et al, 2021;Green et al, 2020;Kurganskiy et al, 2021;Lamichaney and Maity, 2021;Lu et al, 2020;Penuelas et al, 2020;Schmidt et al, 2021;Smith, 2021;Soh et al, 2019;Tausz-Posch et al, 2020;Toreti et al, 2020;Wang and Liu, 2021;Wang et al, 2020;Xu et al, 2020).…”

Developing climate‐resilient crops: improving plant tolerance to stress combination

et al. 2021

Global warming and climate change are driving an alarming increase in the frequency and intensity of different abiotic stresses, such as droughts, heat waves, cold snaps, and flooding, negatively affecting crop yields and causing food shortages. Climate change is also altering the composition and behavior of different insect and pathogen populations adding to yield losses worldwide. Additional constraints to agriculture are caused by the increasing amounts of human-generated pollutants, as well as the negative impact of climate change on soil microbiomes. Although in the laboratory, we are trained to study the impact of individual stress conditions on plants, in the field many stresses, pollutants, and pests could simultaneously or sequentially affect plants, causing conditions of stress combination. Because climate change is expected to increase the frequency and intensity of such stress combination events (e.g., heat waves combined with drought, flooding, or other abiotic stresses, pollutants, and/or pathogens), a concentrated effort is needed to study how stress combination is affecting crops. This need is particularly critical, as many studies have shown that the response of plants to stress combination is unique and cannot be predicted from simply studying each of the different stresses that are part of the stress combination. Strategies to enhance crop tolerance to a particular stress may therefore fail to enhance tolerance to this specific stress, when combined with other factors. Here we review recent studies of stress combinations in different plants and propose new approaches and avenues for the development of stress combination-and climate change-resilient crops.
