At the "3rd Forum National des Energies Renouvelables et de la Biodiversité" (Paris), I underlined that the transition to renewable energies should be addressed in the context of its impacts on, and linkages with biodiversity, water, food and health, following the @ipbes.net #Nexus Assessment.

Biodiversity is essential to our very existence, supporting our water and food supplies, our health and the stability of the climate. It was a pleasure to present the outcome of the @ipbes.net #Nexus Assessment to the Veolia Institute this past Saturday. Thank you @Dinah Louda for this invitation.

The much awaited #BizBiodiversity assessment of @ipbes.net will strengthen the knowledge base for the engagement of businesses for biodiversity. I was happy to present its scope to the media together with Team IPBES. Thank you @frbiodiv.bsky.social for hosting a great event again this year.

Many thanks to @frbiodiv.bsky.social and OFB for organizing an inspiring day for government agencies, civil society, businesses, academics and others to discuss concrete actions from the #NexusAssessment and #IPBES #TransformativeChange Assessment

Congratulations to Hélène Soubelet, Director of @frbiodiv.bsky.social , to whom I had the honor and great pleasure of presenting the insignia of Officier de l'Ordre National du Mérite, yesterday. Thank you Hélène for your leadership for biodiversity and IPBES @ipbes.net @ipbesfr.bsky.social

I wish my dear colleague @achimsteiner.bsky.social a very happy retirement! Thank you for your support to #IPBES since day 1++

This week I presented response options for the ocean from the IPBES Nexus Assessment to President Macron's Council for Science in preparation for UNOC 3 and the One Ocean Science Congress.

Thank you IPBES experts, IPBES national focal points and all other colleagues and friends for the good work and memories and for your numerous messages. Above all, thank you Team IPBES!

I was grateful for the opportunity to visit New York last week to brief ‌UN Member States on #IPBES and on the ‌IPBES #NexusAssessment as part of a ‌UNEP briefing hosted by Exec Director ‌Inger Andersen and Head of NY UNEP office Ligia Noronha. Thanks also to IPBES Chair David Obura for joining.

COP 16.2 was my last COP and a proud reminder of the incredible work the biodiversity science-policy community has achieved over the years. Best of luck to @astridschomaker.bsky.social @unbiodiversity.bsky.social in supporting achievement of the #KMGBF.

BIOSPACE25 made much needed progress to enhance the use of Earth Observations in biodiversity research and monitoring.
Thanks to @esa.int @geobon.org @ec.europa.eu and CEOS for the invitation!

Tomorrow I will present the outcome of the Nexus and Transformative Change Assessments to the European Parliament Committee on the Environment, Climate and Food Safety at 10h30 CET.

Thank you to genevaenvironmentnetwork.org for the invitation to present at the session and happy to share lessons learnt from IPBES to help build a science-policy panel for chemicals and wastes.The importance of scientific excellence to inform decision making cannot be overstated.
