Both climate change and biodiversity loss are intertwined crises with severe consequences for people and nature. seedling
On this #EnvironmentDay and every day, we remember the essential role of biodiversity in effective climate action.
โWe cannot withdraw from the fact that over 1 million species of plants and animals face extinction.โ
IPBES remains committed to its mandate to provide the most credible science and evidence about biodiversity to all decision makers and actors.

I have been a part of the @britishecologicalsociety.org for many years, and it has come to feel like my academic home, so I am really honoured to have been appointed as a Fellow of the society.
Honoured to have been elected as a Fellow of the @britishecologicalsociety.org alongside people I have admired for most of my career. Hoping to up the representation of wonderful female ecologists as well - so if you are one, or know any, definitely apply in the next round!
This week biodiversity experts, academics and policymakers have come to Manchester for one reason: biodiversity.
Specifically, theyโve come to #IPBES12 to set the global agenda for how businesses measure and integrate nature into their plans ๐งต
I am very excited to be giving the Annual Graham Woodgate Lecture on Interdisciplinarity @uclartssciences.bsky.social on the 5th May on addressing environmental change through the lens of justice and equity.
