"This is a crucial rendezvous" - François de Rugy @FdeRugy, @Min_Ecologie addressing #IPBES7
"The two phenomena of #ClimateChange and #biodiversity are interrelated, and we are facing a worldwide bioclimatic crisis."
"We must bring all actors and stakeholders on board."
The emergency of the situation brings us together today: the emergency to act for #biodiversity, our environmental world heritage emergency, to act for our and other generations' future.
—Audrey Azoulay @AAzoulay Director-General @UNESCO at #IPBES7
Comment rêver d’un lieu plus emblématique pour cette Plénière que l’@UNESCO, qui, comme l’#IPBES7, célèbre les multiples valeurs de la #biodiversite, et associe intimement les #sciences et la #culture.
— Secrétaire exécutive de l’@IPBES Anne Larigauderie
The loss of #biodiversity, like human-induced #ClimateChange, is an inter- and intra-generational equity issue.
The poor of today and future generations are most vulnerable.
The youth are speaking out with campaigns throughout the world. — @IPBES Chair Bob Watson #IPBES7
The work of @IPBES provides governments, the private sector and the public the evidence that loss of #biodiversity, just like #ClimateChange, is not only an environmental issue, but a development, economic, security, social, moral and ethical issue.
— IPBES Chair Bob Watson

Sir Bob Watson at @IPBES#Stakeholderday:
"We need all of you to be involved. Hopefully you can take the information from our assessments and help to persuade the government and the private sector that we need action, and help explain the public why these issues are so important"
#IPBES7 is a very special event for us: it is the culmination of our first Work Programme, we will present the #GlobalAssessment & look to the 2030 horizon to see how from a scientific standpoint @IPBES can accompany the journey towards #SustainableDevelopment
