On this 🌍 World Science Day for Peace and Development, let’s remember that science is instrumental to #TransformativeChange.

Science is capable of redirecting development towards regenerative practices aligned with nature-positive goals. 🏡🧪

What if we could transform the world to be fairer and more sustainable?🌍

Case studies show that significant environmental and social benefits #ForNature and people are possible within a decade. A growing movement is calling for equitable & inclusive change.

🌏 Biodiversity loss has deep-rooted causes—from power imbalances to short-term priorities. These shape indirect & direct drivers like land/sea use change, exploitation & climate change.

Graphic from the IPBES #TransformativeChange Assessment ⤵️
An infographic showing the progression from underlying causes to environmental impacts across terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems. The diagram flows left to right through three main sections: "UNDERLYING CAUSES" lists three core issues: Disconnection from and domination over nature and people Concentration of power and wealth Prioritization of short-term, individual and material gains "INDIRECT DRIVERS" includes four categories: Demographic and sociocultural Economic and technological Institutions and governance Conflicts and epidemics "DIRECT DRIVERS" shows relative impact percentages across terrestrial, freshwater, and marine environments, represented by horizontal bars with color-coded segments for: Land/sea use change (purple) Direct exploitation (light purple) Climate change (yellow) Pollution (gray) Invasive alien species (orange) Others (light gray) The right side features a circular illustration divided into terrestrial, freshwater, and marine zones with representative wildlife silhouettes.

When grassroots 🌱 + government 🏛️ + science 🔬 + business 💼 work together, nature AND society win!

Latest evidence from the IPBES #TransformativeChange Assessment: https://www.ipbes.net/transformative-change-assessment
A complex figure with three parts showing relationships between different stakeholder groups: A) A network diagram showing interconnections between various actors, color-coded into four categories: Teal: Grassroots and civil society (including local communities, Indigenous Peoples, youth groups) Orange: Governance and institutional actors (national/regional governments, international organizations) Light green: Private sector and financial actors (donors, financial institutions) Purple: Knowledge and research actors (scientific communities) Gray lines connect the different groups showing relationships. B) A scatter plot showing "Nature's contributions to people outcomes" versus "Number of actor groups" (0-18), with a slight upward trend line. C) A scatter plot showing "Socioeconomic outcomes" versus "Number of actor groups" (0-18), also with an upward trend line, suggesting increased outcomes with more actor groups involved. Each plot includes data points and a fitted line showing the general relationship between the variables.

A circular diagram illustrating interconnected barriers to sustainability and biodiversity conservation. The center features a yellow triskelion symbol with "Views, Structures, Practices" surrounded by concentric rings dividing the content into sectors. The diagram is organized into 20 segments (A-T) radiating outward, each with an icon and text describing different challenges. These include topics like "Marginalization of Indigenous knowledge," "Shareholder profit," and "Socio-economic disparities." The outer ring contains detailed explanations for each segment. The color scheme uses muted browns, greens, and blues to differentiate major thematic areas. The overall structure shows how these barriers connect and reinforce persistent relations of domination over nature and people.

🎯 5 key strategies for transformative change: From conserving vital places to shifting values.

Together these create pathways to just and sustainable futures.

IPBES #TransformativeChange Assessment: https://www.ipbes.net/transformative-change-assessment
A mind map diagram showing 5 complementary strategies for transformative change in nature conservation. The central hub reads "5 COMPLEMENTARY STRATEGIES TO BRING ABOUT TRANSFORMATIVE CHANGE" with five main branches: "Conserve and regenerate places of value to nature and people" (TCA 28%) "Drive systemic change in the sectors most responsible for nature's decline" (TCA 30%) "Transform economic systems for nature and equity" (TCA 13%) "Transform governance systems to be integrative, inclusive, accountable and adaptive" (TCA 10%) "Shift views and values to recognize human-nature interconnectedness" (TCA 31%) Each main branch has 4-5 specific action items numbered accordingly (e.g., 1.1-1.5, 2.1-2.4, etc.). Orange connecting lines indicate the proportion of term occurrences associated with each strategy or action, with a scale bar shown at the bottom (0-50%). The design uses teal green for main concepts and white rounded rectangles for specific actions.

Read the Summary for Policymakers of the IPBES #TransformativeChange Assessment: www.ipbes.net/transformati...
An infographic in a circular layout illustrating key aspects of transformative change. The design resembles a card game or learning tool with different sections arranged around a central circular icon with three interconnected elements. The diagram is divided into five main segments, each in different pastel colors (purple, green, yellow, coral, and turquoise). The main sections are: "HOW CAN TRANSFORMATIVE CHANGE COME ABOUT?" "WHERE DO WE WANT TO GO WITH TRANSFORMATIVE CHANGE?" "WHAT IS TRANSFORMATIVE CHANGE AND WHY IS IT NEEDED?" "WHY HASN'T TRANSFORMATIVE CHANGE ALREADY HAPPENED?" "WHAT CAN WE DO NOW TO REALIZE TRANSFORMATIVE CHANGE?" Each section contains card elements with related concepts. Notable elements include: "APPROPRIATE KNOWLEDGE" cards with various icons "BARRIERS" cards mentioning challenges "PRINCIPLES" cards referencing concepts like "Equity and justice" "UNDERLYING CAUSES" cards noting "Disconnection from and domination over nature and people" The image has a pale yellow border decorated with small stylized insect and gear icons in the corners.

🌍 Social movements span the world.

Data show a mix of transformative, reformist & regressive approaches shaping outcomes for nature and societies. 🌏

A world map showing the global distribution of social movements categorized by their outcomes. The map uses three types of symbols: red squares for "Regressive outcomes," yellow circles for "Reformist outcomes," and green triangles for "Outcomes with transformative potential." The symbols are clustered across continents, with notable concentrations in Europe, South America, South and Southeast Asia. The base map is simple and grayscale, with continental outlines clearly visible. Dense clusters of all three types of outcomes appear in regions like Western Europe, Brazil, and India, while other areas show more scattered distributions. Antarctica shows minimal data points. A legend in the bottom left corner explains the symbol meanings.
