Understanding economic recovery potential investing

项目摘要

The overall goal of this project is to enhance understanding of the short versus long-term economic recovery potential (ERP) of investments in biodiversity and have this knowledge inform economic, climate, and development policy in the Global South, where impacts of COVID and climate change are most severe but where the potential for biodiversity to support economic recovery is greatest. The proposed research will investigate how social, economic, and ecological knowledge can be integrated to manage ecosystems so that they are healthy and resilient in a rapidly warming world. To do this, it will bring together evidence of the short-term ERP and longer-term development outcomes of investing in biodiversity-based nature-based solutions (NbS, i.e. the protection, restoration, and sustainable management of natural and semi-natural ecosystems). Short-term ERP will include factors such as numbers of jobs created and retained, livelihoods, and economic multipliers (where changes in one economic variable cause a change in other related variables). Longer-term development outcomes include climate change adaptation, biodiversity conservation, and food and water security. A wide range of stakeholders involved in the design of economic recovery and development policy in or for the Global South have identified five broad questions about the economic returns of investments in NbS (provided in the case for support). These include: What do robust, sustainable investments in biodiversity look like? How can trade-offs among different societal benefits be managed? How can we ensure that those investing in biodiversity, whether to secure their supply chains or offset damage to the environment, have ambitious and credible pathways to sustainability and are not simply greenwashing business as usual? To address these and other key questions, we will synthesise evidence from an existing systematic map of the peer-reviewed and grey literature on the development outcomes of over 500 investments in nature.The ultimate intended impact of this project is to ensure that public and private finance is channeled towards projects that have robust biodiversity and social safeguards and that can, as a result, deliver benefits to local people, the climate and natural ecosystems over the long term.

该项目的总体目标是加强对生物多样性投资的短期和长期经济复苏潜力（ERP）的了解，并将这些知识提供给全球南方国家的经济、气候和发展政策，这些国家受COVID和气候变化的影响最严重，但生物多样性支持经济复苏的潜力最大。拟议中的研究将探讨如何将社会、经济和生态知识整合起来管理生态系统，使它们在快速变暖的世界中保持健康和弹性。为此，它将汇集短期生态资源规划和投资于基于生物多样性的基于自然的解决方案（NbS，即自然和半自然生态系统的保护、恢复和可持续管理）的长期发展成果的证据。短期ERP将包括诸如创造和保留的就业机会数量、生计和经济乘数（一个经济变量的变化导致其他相关变量的变化）等因素。长期发展成果包括适应气候变化、保护生物多样性以及粮食和水安全。参与设计南半球或为南半球制定经济复苏和发展政策的广泛利益相关者已经确定了有关国家统计局投资的经济回报的五个广泛问题（在支持案例中提供）。这些问题包括：在生物多样性方面稳健、可持续的投资是什么样的？如何管理不同社会利益之间的权衡？我们如何确保那些投资于生物多样性的企业，无论是为了确保供应链安全，还是为了抵消对环境的破坏，都有雄心勃勃、可信的可持续发展之路，而不是像往常一样简单地粉饰绿色？为了解决这些问题和其他关键问题，我们将综合现有系统地图中的证据，该地图由同行评议的文献和关于500多项自然投资的发展成果的灰色文献组成。该项目的最终预期影响是确保公共和私人资金流向具有强大生物多样性和社会保障的项目，从而能够长期为当地人民、气候和自然生态系统带来好处。
