practices positively impact resilient indicators and help achieve the Aichi
Biodiversity Targets.
Chapter 6 examined applying the resilience assessment process using an
indicator- based approach at 34 sites (communities) of SEPLS in different regions of
the world. The measurement criteria are defined by individual communities, and
therefore, the outcomes are specific to those communities when understanding the
multiple aspects of resilience and changes over time and identifying important
issues for improving the resilience of a community. The most prominent benefit
found when using the indicators is their value as a convening tool, bringing together
multiple stakeholders in a landscape or seascape.
Chapter 7 identified various categories of place-based solutions for the sustainable management of SEPLS based on the experiences of partners from the South,
East, and Southeast Asian countries of the International Partnership for Satoyama
Initiative (IPSI). Sharing knowledge of various place-based solution types in different social-ecological contexts helps provide more purposeful and deliberate designs
of SEPLS with multiple benefits.
Chapter 8 reviewed the effectiveness of biodiversity SPIs by examining the different features of effective SPIs, including capacity building, trust building, adaptability, and continuity. The chapter concluded that effective, interdisciplinary SPIs
and timely and relevant inputs for policymakers are required to ensure more
dynamic, iterative, and collaborative interactions between policymakers and
other actors.
9.2 Implications for Transformative Changes toward
Sustainability
The IPBES Global Assessment (IPBES 2019) stressed that “goals for conserving
and sustainably using nature and achieving sustainability cannot be met by current
trajectories, and goals for 2030 and beyond may only be achieved through transformative changes across economic, social, political and technological factors.” It is
necessary for us to conserve, restore, and use nature sustainably while simultaneously meeting other global societal goals through extensive efforts that foster transformative change. Transformations toward sustainability can be triggered by
following key leverage points: (1) visions of a good life; (2) total consumption and
waste; (3) values and action; (4) inequalities; (5) justice and inclusion in conservation; (6) externalities and telecoupling; (7) technology, innovation, and investment;
and (8) education and knowledge generation and sharing (IPBES 2019). Regariding
these leverage points, Table 9.2 summarizes relevant approaches and insights linked
to these leverage points as highlighted by the different experiences captured in this
book. The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) has also been advocating the
need to have a systems approach to address conservation and human well-being
