Pleased that @nhm-london.bsky.social's 30by30 policy brief, produced using the Museum's Biodiversity Intactness Index, is now available as part of the High Ambition Coalition's 30x30 Solutions Toolkit! ⚒️
Hopefully of use to all those designing/actioning #30by30 strategies and NBSAPs 🤝

2024 showed us why immediate action on #climate and nature is essential🌎
It was the hottest year on record. Devastating floods took lives. Blistering heat caused heatstroke and deaths. Wildfires scorched landscapes.
Policymakers need to act ambitiously in 2025👉 buff.ly/3BIFpfu

We are thrilled to announce that it has been agreed that #IPBES12 will take place in the United Kingdom, thanks to the UK’s kind offer to host the Plenary.
Thank you to UK Government, we look forward to launching the #BizBiodiversity Report in the UK.

Our recent analysis highlighted the importance of capacity for management and quality assurance - biodiversity intactness within England's protected areas (incl. National Landscapes) was just 32% in 2020...!
If we are to protect nature for 30by30 and beyond, proper prioritisation is essential.

🦎 Climate and nature are deeply interconnected. We rely on nature to store our carbon and depend on the climate to safeguard our ecological communities.
🏞️ More action is urgently needed to preserve the nature that we all rely on.

In a bumper year of all three COPs (climate, biodiversity, desertification) taking place in quick succession, the need for synergistic action across UN Conventions has never been clearer.
We face not solely a climate nor nature emergency, but an interconnected planetary emergency…
