#ClimateChange is a major driver of #biodiversity loss
#Forests are essential, absorbing one-third of annual #carbon emissions
Large-scale bioenergy to halt warming would threaten plants & animals by converting their habitat

On scenarios and models: "How do we get from where we are to those positive visions of the future?"
non-#climate related factors must be included in socio-economic scenarios to meet #SDGs and mitigate #ClimateChange

"A key goal is to understand the synergies and trade-offs of regulating #ClimateChange & preserving #biodiversity, and to bring together a cohesive message about them. One way to do this is to use scenarios in a common way." - Paul Leadley, @IPBES #GlobalAssessment author

"We need to think of #ClimateChange and #biodiversity as highly connected issues. There are no borders in #nature between climate change and biodiversity. There are also no borders within the scientific community." - @IPBES ExecSec Anne Larigauderie at @UNFCCC #SB50Bonn

The cost of inaction regarding #LandDegradation is at least 3x higher than the cost of action. Urgent action must be taken.
On #WDCD2019, people around the 🌎 raise awareness of #desertification, as well as paths toward #LandRestoration and #EcosystemRestoration.

The @IPBES #LandDegradation Assessment confirmed that #desertification caused by human activity negatively impacts people worldwide.
Without a strong deviation from current trends and world views, we will not achieve #LandDegradationNeutrality by 2030.
