After 3 inspiring years of work, the @ipbes.bsky.social-Transformative Change assessment is finally out. Transformative change for biodiversity is urgent, necessary, challenging - but possible! Reconnecting people & nature through biocultural conservation approaches is a key strategy. www.ipbes.net

We start now with the 11th Plenary of IPBES - more critical than ever to bridge science with policy to deal with biodiversity loss - and I could not have done it without my amazing co-CLAs Sergio Lambertucci and Ed Carr and the fantastic team of chapter 4 - we are gearing up #IPBES11

Starting of the #IPBES11 plenary in Windhoek/Namimbia, where we will negotiate the #TransformativeChangeAssessment - a three year long assessment focusing on the principles, visions, theories, challenges and pathways for transformative change to live in harmony with nature

My computer crashed on Monday night - I spent all day yesterday working on my cell, calling IT with no progress... Today heading to IT to see what can be done as - computer dead or alive - ...the worst timing ever? Yes, 70 assignments to grade and traveling in three days to #ipbes11
