Hello @IPBES What you are doing is vital, but pls can you use #PlainEnglish (and its international equivalents) in your comms? E.g. "assessment on diverse conceptualization of multiple values of nature & its contributions" ...will be lost on most people ecosystemsknowledge.net/blog…

Hi @EcosystemsNet Thanks for the feedback. Actually 99% of all IPBES comms/outreach is in language that is widely accessible BUT this is a formal IPBES notification/call to a very specific set of experts - the language choice is 100% deliberate.

One of the great strengths of our IPBES community lies in its great diversity - the flipside of which is that, occasionally, some posts will be less relevant to everyone on the feed.

Bear with us though - you will be hearing a LOT more about the very important #ValuesAssessment over the next year and a half - in very much more accessible language.

Thanks - danger people (incl Ministers) will disengage if there isn't some good quality text out there soon. We really struggled with the long-sentences in the Global Synthesis. The UK NEA suffered with the same problem...great work but few read it.

The challenge is also to know when and how - in the 3-year cycle of preparing expert assessments - to target key audience segments. IPBES has a 3-phase comms strategy for all assessments - which really worked across every metric for the last 6 we published.
