🌍🧪 The @ipbes.net #NexusAssessment Report shows how nature, institutions, and anthropogenic assets interact to shape quality of life through nature's contributions like water security, food security, and climate regulation.

🌍 Nature is declining faster than ever. Since 1700:

🔹 Wetlands: -85% 🌊

🔹 Coral Reefs: -50% 🪸

🔹 Forests: -32% 🌳

🔹 Ecosystems: -47% overall

The @ipbes.bsky.social #TransformativeChange Assessment Report examines fundamental changes required for a future where people live in harmony with nature.🌍🧪

Explore the framework for change in this graphic ⤵️

A graphic from the IPBES Transformative Change Assessment Report Summary for Policymakers. Figure SPM.2 The framework of transformative change for a just and sustainable world. Section A indicates views, structures and practices (the inner golden spirals) being strongly shaped by the underlying causes of biodiversity loss and nature’s decline (solid grey ring). Section B shows shifts in views, structures and practices breaking the influence of the underlying causes when they are guided by the four key principles of transformative change (blue ring). Section C illustrates a just and sustainable world, with prevailing views, structures, and practices aligned with the principles of transformative change. This framework can be used by different actor groups to help identify where and how they can promote, accelerate and scale the process of transformative change towards a just and sustainable world.

Environmental risks dominate @weforum.org Global Risks Report 2025.

Extreme weather & #biodiversity loss top 10-year threats. Pollution rises in short-term urgency. 🌍

The IPBES #NexusAssessment just showed how important it is to tackle interlinked crises together.

A chart by the World Economic Forum titled Global Risks Ranked by Severity. Extreme weather events and biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse are ranked 1 and 2 respectively under long term (10 year) risks.

Trump ended the first-ever National Nature Assessment, which was trying to reveal how nature loss influences climate change and impacts humanity, but the researchers are trying to publish it anyway.

The first full draft of the assessment, on the state of America’s land, water and wildlife, was weeks from completion. The project leader called the study “too important to die.”
