Project description
Emerging technologies to address biodiversity loss
There is a worldwide decline in wild species and ecosystems. However, we can reverse biodiversity loss by addressing consumption patterns and values, as well as leveraging digitalisation and emerging technologies. The EU-funded GoDigiBioS project aims to promote positive changes in biodiversity using new digital and emerging technologies to help reverse this decline. The project will provide a comprehensive understanding of the connections between biodiversity, social and economic well-being, and technological development. It will also develop tools to aid decision-making related to biodiversity and improve policy combinations and governance approaches. Researchers and stakeholders from four peri-urban transformation lab regions in Europe will use specific techniques to ensure the scalability and replicability of the project’s solutions.
Objective
The world is losing its wild species and ecosystems at an alarming rate, and Europe is no exception. Yet, biodiversity is the basis for functioning ecosystems, which provide essential goods and services for humans and all other life forms on Earth. We must therefore reverse the trend of BD loss in the foreseeable future, especially by addressing underlying, indirect drivers of biodiversity loss such as consumption patterns, norms and values to achieve double decoupling (of consumption from excessive natural resource use, of satisfaction from consumption). Such transformative change requires social innovation and improved, systemic governance approaches. Additionally, digitalisation and emerging technologies offer potential to support the conservation of biodiversity, increase society well-being and economic prosperity which should be harnessed while reducing their equally existing negative impacts. GoDigiBios aims to support biodiversity-relevant transformative change towards a nature-positive economy and society that will use new digital and other emerging technologies in ways that assist in reversing BD loss. Specifically, GoDigiBioS will deliver i) comprehensive understanding complemented by new insights and operational knowledge of the interactions between biodiversity, social and economic well-being, and technological development, ii) tools to support biodiversity-relevant decision-making, iii) improved, systemic policy mixes and governance approaches. To co-produce these knowledge, tools, and governance approaches, GoDigiBioS will bring together and leverage the knowledge and experience of both researchers and stakeholders from four peri-urban transformation lab regions across Europe and use specific approaches to ensure scalability and replicability of its solutions.
