EEUU no deja que nadie venda ni suministre petróleo ni ninguna otra materia energética a Cuba.
Dicen que es el fracaso del socialismo.
Si se prohibiese de la misma manera el suministro a cualquier país capitalista de la UE, ¿cómo se le llamaría?
Porque el fracaso del capitalismo ya está cogido.

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.⁠

Study by ICTA-UAB & IBEI shows that 40% of socio-environmental mobilizations take place in the world’s most important biodiversity areas

I know you will. In dark times it is more more important than ever to work together and forge strong collaboratios. As scientists we need to further develop cooperative ways to help each other.

“We cannot withdraw from the fact that over 1 million species of plants and animals face extinction.”

IPBES remains committed to its mandate to provide the most credible science and evidence about biodiversity to all decision makers and actors.

— @davidobura.bsky.social , @ipbes.net Chair
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.

La comunidad científica en la interface ciencia-política tiene un papel crucial: hacer preguntas. Sobre todo aquellas cuya respuesta los decisores no saben que necesitan, o saben que no quieren saber.

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.
