Today is #IndigenousPeoplesDay!
Did you know that although #Indigenous Peoples:
comprise just 5️⃣% of the world's population
they manage 2️⃣5️⃣%+ of Earth's lands
and live alongside 8️⃣0️⃣% of global #biodiversity?

New @IPCC_CH Report
Cascading risks of #ClimateChange threaten the ability of #nature and the world's land to provide for human well-being
'Humanity faces a stark choice between a vicious or virtuous circle'

While less than 5% of the world's population, #indigenous peoples protect 80% of global #Biodiversity
This invaluable knowledge is crucial for the post-2020 biodiversity framework and protecting life on Earth for future generations

#NatureBasedSolutions are vital.
Addressing #LandDegradation can provide more than 1/3 of the most cost effective greenhouse gas mitigation activities to keep #ClimateChange within the #ParisAgreement target of 2°C.

#ClimateChange
#Biodiversity loss &
#LandDegradation
These interconnected issues must be addressed together.
Improving land use decisions and supporting #NatureBasedSolutions is a crucial part of the solution.

The #GlobalAssessment identified land use as the #1 driver of #biodiversity loss
The @IPCC_CH #SRCCL shows that #EcosystemRestoration & halting #deforestation is necessary to limit #ClimateChange to 2°C
Human decisions on land use can significantly help or harm quality of life

The @IPCC_CH just launched the #SRCCL Report on #ClimateChange & Land!
Integrated solutions across sectors are key.
"This calls on us to think across the entire #food production chain—to tackle complex issues in complex areas."

What a great idea! Next year is going to be critical for biodiversity, with the world deciding in China next Nov on the post-2020 framework and targets. Message us on media@ipbes.net and let’s explore options!

So true! And just as true if you replace/add climate with “biodiversity” or “nature’s contributions to people”.

If we want to halt #biodiversity loss and stop #ClimateChange, we need #naturebasedsolutions.
🌳🌴#Reforestation would be a key solution.🌲🌳
Here are some phenomenal examples of how countries around the 🌍 are planting trees to protect our #environment.

New #biodiversity action plan in #NewZealand
“The strategy is based on a new & proactive way of thinking about nature, one where we ask 'how do we fit into nature?' rather than how does nature fit with us?

Feel free to check out the 1500 page #GlobalAssement or the 40 page summary on ipbes.net for the ‘working’ of more than 100 of the world’s leading scientists that show pollution as one of the 5 leading causes of nature loss
Good news from #England!
#Plastic bag sales have halved in the last year.
This continues a positive trend in the fight against #plasticpollution.
Plastic bag usage has decreased by 90% since a 5 pence charge was introduced in 2015.

Reconnecting people and #nature is crucial.
"Ranking our own groups at the top of the hierarchy is the source of racial, ethnic and nationalistic clashes — and, as it turns out, mistreatment of other species as well."

The 🌏's #biodiversity depends on its land.
But human activity is fundamentally degrading that.
Set to launch on 8 Aug, the @IPCC_CH Report on #ClimateChange & Land (#SRCCL) will show that we need #naturebasedsolutions if we want to protect life on Earth for generations to come
