Concluding remarks on IPBES Stakeholder Day, by @Anamariamojita, @ipbes Chair: 🌿"Stakeholders are at the heart of the @IPBES community and it has been my honor to work with you during the past 4 years." 🌿 #ForNature #InvasiveAlienSpecies

“At #IPBES10, governments are going to be invited to approve a new report on #InvasiveAlienSpecies and their control, which are the 5th direct driver of biodiversity loss. A topic that has never been assessed before at this scale by such a significant group of experts.” ⬇️

“You can see how @IPBES has inspired the overall structure of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. Our work is going to become more instrumental in implementing it and in accompanying all those who have committed to implementing it, starting with governments.” ⬇️

“... @IPBES stakeholders are also there to make it happen and that’s why this day is very important for us. Thanks to our combined efforts, awareness about biodiversity is increasing. It is not enough; we need to continue to work hard but it is happening.” ⬇️

Dr. Anne Larigauderie, @IPBES Executive Secretary, at Stakeholder Day: “Welcome to IPBES Stakeholder Day. Thank you for being here today with us. Stakeholders are an important part of the IPBES community." ⬇️ 📸 by IISD/ENB: Anastasia Rodopoulou
