Economic growth is still heating the planet. Is there any way out?
Rising GDP continues to mean more carbon emissions and wider damage to the planet. Can the two be decoupled?

EEUU no deja que nadie venda ni suministre petrΓ³leo ni ninguna otra materia energΓ©tica a Cuba.
Dicen que es el fracaso del socialismo.
Si se prohibiese de la misma manera el suministro a cualquier paΓ­s capitalista de la UE, ΒΏcΓ³mo se le llamarΓ­a?

The 2023 IPBES report, authored by 86 international experts, is the most comprehensive assessment of invasive alien species ever conducted.

It offers clear & undeniable evidence of the growing global threat of biological invasions to ecosystems, economies, and human well being. #bioinvasions

Countries' carbon dioxide removal plans pose substantial threats to biodiversity, new research reveals.

Analysis by the scientists shows that up to 13% of global areas of high biodiversity importance are allocated for land-intensive CDR deployment. 🧡

Biodiversity isn’t only protected in parks and policy documents, it is defended on the ground by communities and social movements, often at great personal risk.⁠

Split-screen image on a deep green background. Left side contains a statement from Dr David Obura, IPBES Chair, regarding the US withdrawal from IPBES and extinction threats to over 1 million species. Right side shows a photograph of a man wearing glasses, dressed in a dark jacket and grey shirt, seated at a conference table with a microphone. The IPBES logo appears at the bottom with the tagline "Science and Policy for People and Nature". The design features white typography on the dark green background, creating a professional contrast. Several small pins or badges are visible on the speaker's jacket.

In this article, just out, I argue that scientists have a crucial role in the science-policy interface: keep making questions, especially those whose answers decision-makers don't know they want to know, or know they do not want to know.
