The science is clear: #LandDegradation and #ClimateChange strongly impact each other. How we can protect #ecosystems and #biodiversity to secure clean air, water, and soil? Policymakers have an obligation to future generations: let evidence guide action at #COP24 #TakeYourSeat

How can we avoid, reduce, and reverse land degradation?

Combating land degradation is an urgent priority in order to protect the biodiversity and ecosystem services which are vital to all life on Earth and to ensure human well-being.

@IPBES thanks for making this link. Message would be stronger with #ClearNounPlusVerb instead of “strongly impact”. Can you make it more concrete to help people understand what’s at stake and what the options are?

My fellow scientists: Let’s stop saying “negatively impact“. Let’s name and specify the impact. Formula: clear verb + noun we care about. Kills bees. Increases deforestation. Worsens inequality. Increase asthma for kids. #scicomm Inspired by @ourwarmregards 👏🏾
