There will be a limited print run of the full Report early in 2024, but given the length (and therefore the number of pages & weight) these will be primarily for the authors and IPBES member States. The print-ready file will be available for anyone else wanting to print locally.

Coral reefs harbour the highest biodiversity of any ecosystem globally. They are key indicators of global ecosystem health but are among the most threatened ecosystems on Earth, largely due to unprecedented global warming and #climate changes. #CoralReefs

🌳🏡 Over 50% of the 🌍's population lives in urban areas. 🌲🌳Trees & urban forests can make our cities cooler, greener & happier places to live. They also filter fine particulates from the air, which helps urban communities to stay healthy! #GreenCities

Peatlands are a type of wetlands which are among the most valuable ecosystems on Earth but when damaged are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. Restoring them can help combat #ClimateChange.

Like rainforests, kelp forests act as lungs for the ocean, absorbing CO₂ and releasing oxygen. However, they're under threat from overfishing, pollution, and changing ocean temperatures. A UNEP report from earlier this year provides restoration guidance.
