Today sees the launch of the IPBES #NexusAssessment, a landmark global assessment of the interlinked crises of biodiversity loss, climate change, health, food and water. But what does it mean? Read on to hear from @carolinehowe.bsky.social (our new Vice President) & @sebdunnett.bsky.social 🌍🧪

“Governments are underestimating or ignoring the links between 5 key areas: biodiversity, water, food, health and climate change” Agreed! Food production is the #1 global driver of terrestrial biodiversity loss and water use, the #2 driver of climate change, and diets are closely linked to health 🧪

Gosh, definitely blowing a storm out there! Patio door just blew off its hinges and flew open with the pressure differential! Scared half awake me out of my skin and it’s not letting up!

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪

My son snapped this pic of tits on the feeder this foggy afternoon in County Down!

The @uniofexeter.bsky.social convened a panel to advise the university on how to use carbon offsets in its ambitious net zero target. Our conclusion is that all offsets should be ditched. We very much hope other universities will do likewise. theconversation.com/we-have-offi...
