Negotiations on the Business and Biodiversity Assessment at #IPBES12 advanced at a slow pace, necessitating an additional evening session

Working Group 2, by contrast, made swift progress, reaching agreement on all workplans for 2026-27

A great shot of the @ipbes.net MEP & Bureau together this week in Bonn.

Also a visual representation of our mission: bringing science & policy together - for people and #ForNature. 🌍🧪

Kiitos oli hyvin journalismin logiikkaa ja tulevaisuutta avaava - päällimmäisenä mieleen jäi kiitollisuus toimittajien syvää ammattitaitoa kohtaan. Ymmärrän, että koko juttujen tuotannon prosessia ei kuitenkaan voi sisältöjen rinnalla hirmusti korostaa.

Sama tilanne meillä tutkimuksessa.

Did you know that non-metal minerals, like sand and gravel constitute the largest share of resouce / raw material use in Finland and in the world?
