Climate change and biodiversity linkages are very important to determine solution space to blend the curve of curve of losses as highlighted by the @IPCC_CH-@IPBES workshop report. Explained by Hans Pörtner #COP28@SolvingFCB@UBCoceans
Mangroves are key to the wellbeing, food security & protection of coastal communities worldwide.
Yet they are disappearing 3-5 times faster than global forest losses.
@UNESCO's #BiosphereReserves offer a blueprint for protecting these ecosystems: on.unesco.org/3FbJus5#COP28
Laure Denos - @IPBES Stakeholder Engagement Officer - recently hosted a vibrant Brown Bag Lunch at the @IUCN Secretariat. 🥪📚

Ecosystems are degrading at an alarming rate, pushing 1 million species towards extinction & imposing a mounting economic toll, including on the farming sector.
Here’s how #GenerationRestoration efforts not only protect biodiversity & nature but also bolster food security.
People all over the world directly use about 31,100 species of wild plants.🌳
—@IPBES#SustainableUse Assessment
But the unsustainable use of wild species threatens #biodiversity.🍂
Discover 4 ways to support the sustainable use of wild plants w/ @FAO ⬇️
