Soils are living ecosystems, home to billions of organisms that keep our food systems running, filter our water, regulate our climate, and ultimately safeguard our health and societies. Yet, unsustainable land use, deforestation, and climate change are driving soil biodiversity loss at an alarming rate, threatening these invisible life-support systems. 💡 Our new paper, "Bridging soil biodiversity and human well-being: An actionable framework to measure links between the natural capital and plural value of soils" introduces the Soil Biodiversity and Well-being Framework (SBWF), a first-of-its-kind approach to measure how soil biodiversity connects to human well-being. 💡 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲, on the One Earth by Cell Press Journal‼ It shows how the SBWF is: 👉 Built through a truly transdisciplinary process, uniting farmers, policymakers, scientists, and communities. 👉 Designed to put soils on the agenda of decision-makers and support transformative land management. 🔗 Read the full article here: http://bit.ly/41CNf4g If you care sustainable futures, this is a read not to miss. #SoilBiodiversity #HumanWellBeing #Sustainability #SoilHealth Cell Press #ResearchToAction #SOILGUARD Competence Unit Bioresources (AIT) AIT Austrian Institute of Technology BEYOND Centre IAASARS/ NOA ETH Zürich Leitat Technological Center IUCN European Regional Office Natural Resources Institute Finland / Luonnonvarakeskus Wageningen University & Research | University of Amsterdam | Universitat d'Alacant | Institut für ökologische Wirtschaftsforschung (IÖW) University of Potsdam Danish Technological Institute | Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies Universidad Miguel Hernández de Elche | Teagasc | Instituto Nacional de Tecnologia Agropecuaria | The University of Yaoundé ll National Observatory of Athens | WINGS ICT Solutions | European Landowners' Organization | Cooperativas Agro-alimentarias de España | UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH)

#Biodiversity can no longer be treated as a siloed issue. It is foundational to climate resilience, public health, food security, and economic stability. Facing the three planetary crises demands collective action, and this is our first step in collaboration. 💪💪 Combining EU expertise from Research Infrastructures, e-Infrastructures, the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), Digital Twin projects and academic publishers, we aim to provide a strong base for collaboration and to contribute strategically to the #KMGBF targets.

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) host a very distinct microbiome, mainly composed of bacteria related to pathogens, WWTP processes, and antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Unfortunately, these microorganisms often end up in rivers, affecting their ecosystems.   In the #LifeBIODAPH2O project, we are working on a nature-based solution to tackle this challenge: ✅ Our BIODAPH technology reduces harmful, anthropogenic bacteria in treated wastewater. ✅ It promotes the renaturalisation of water by introducing freshwater-associated microbes.   ➡️ Next step: analysing whether these microbial shifts positively impact river communities.   ✨ On this International Microorganism Day, let’s celebrate the tiny microbes that make a huge difference! #InternationalMicroorganismDay #LIFEproject #LifeBIODAPH2O #NatureBasedSolutions #NBS #CircularEconomy #WaterReuse #WaterTreatment #daphnia #biofilm #Sustainability #Innovation #WaterQuality LIFE Programme CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency   Universitat de Girona | Instituto de Diagnóstico Ambiental y Estudios del Agua (IDAEA-CSIC) | National Technical University of Athens | Sorigué | BETA Technological Center | Catalan Water Partnership CWP | #MINAVRA 

The TRANSPATH project is featured in the European Commission's latest publication on transformative change! ✨   A recent brochure by EU Science, Research and Innovation highlights EU-funded projects that support the facilitation of transformative change for biodiversity. 🌱   TRANSPATH was recognised for its unique contribution to mapping and activating leverage points that can drive profound systemic change, from economic systems to governance and societal values, to transform how biodiversity and sustainability are embedded in policy and practice.   Read more on TRANSPATH's role in supporting #TransformativeChange4Biodiversity on our website: https://lnkd.in/dUgaXeFY 🔗   Learn more from the 'Towards transformative change for biodiversity' brochure itself: https://lnkd.in/d8Gddbg9, where other Transformative Change projects are also highlighted, including BioAgora Project, BIONEXT Project, BIOTraCes, EU BIOTRAILS, BIOVALUE project, PLANET4B Project, RainforestHEU, and TCforBE Project, 🤝🌍 #TransformativeChange #ForNature #Sustainability #GenerationRestoration #HorizonEU #EUHorizon #ForOurPlanet #Biodiversity

We are delighted to share that Dr. Shalini Dhyani, Principal Scientist @CSIR_NEERI, has been selected by the Multidisciplinary Expert Panel of Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (@IPBES_) as a Coordinating Lead Author (CLA) for the second global assessment of #Biodiversity and #EcosystemServices of the @IPBES_. The second global assessment (2026-2028) will strengthen the #SciencePolicy interface on biodiversity and nature’s contributions to people on a range of spatial scales, by providing the knowledge and the policy support tools needed for informed decision-making. Dr. Shalini will play a leading role as a CLA in ensuring that cross-cutting scientific, technical, or socioeconomic issues of significance are addressed in a complete and coherent manner. This selection is testimony to her decades of leadership, scientific contribution, and cooperation in conserving biodiversity and ecosystems in the warming world, using people-centric, #SustainabilityScience approaches. Established in 2012, the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (@IPBES_) is a global science-policy platform with membership from 147 countries, with @UNEP, @UNDP, @UNESCO, and @FAO as partners. @IPBES_ is committed to strengthening the role of science in public decision-making on biodiversity and ecosystem services. #CSIRNEERI #GlobalRecognition #ClimateAction #Sustainability #NatureBasedSolutions #ScienceLeadership
