Big win outta Manchester at #IPBES12 - the plenary @ipbes.net approved the #BizBiodiversity Assessment Report. Bottom line? Every business has got work to do for nature, and the tools are in the report. Photo IISD_enb

#IPBES12 delegates spent all day working on the session’s key deliverable: the Business and Biodiversity Assessment It took until the late afternoon to complete a read-through of the Background Messages Talks on tables and figures ran into the night Read ➡️ enb.iisd.org/intergovernm...

🌍 The IPBES #BizBiodiversity Report launches on 9 February 2026 The Report explores methods to measure & act on dependencies & impacts of businesses on biodiversity and nature’s contributions to people. 💻 Follow the media launch livestream at: https://ow.ly/Zerm50Yb610 https://ow.ly/uIaj50Yb611

An energising week at #IPBES12. From this year, I’ll be taking on a new role as a member of the Multidisciplinary Expert Panel ( #MEP ) of @ipbes.net. Having been involved since 2019 ( #IAS #GA2, #TF-SCM, and GA2), it’s a privilege to continue contributing to the platform.

We, the #TSU on #scenarios and #models of @ipbes.net is actively discussing groundbreaking current projects and innovative plans for the future during #IPBES12

And we're off!! The working group I at #IPBES12 starts the deliberation of the #BizBiodiversity assessment. "A timely piece, bringing knowledge from many directions together " says co-chair Matt Jones, symbolically sitting under a main clock in an old station where tracks came together.

One of the most exciting aspects of @ipbes.net plenaries is the stunning artwork created for each meeting. This year is no exception, as the artwork for #IPBES12, where the #BizBiodiversity assessment is being discussed, is astonishing. Check out a snapshot of the incredible art below! 🔽

This morning at #IPBES12 🌍🧪 Delegates and observers meet in the main hall of Manchester Central for the opening ceremony of #IPBES12. Once a train station connecting Manchester to the rest of the world, today it opens the session that will culminate in the #BizBiodiversity report launch.

At the #IPBES12 opening plenary, it’s inspiring to see the relentless momentum of @ipbes.net’s work! This year, the launch of the #BizBiodiversity report, followed by the anticipated #Monitoring report in 2027, the innovative #SpatialPlanning report in 2028, and the impactful #GA2 report in 2029.

(1/2) Biodiversity underpins resilient economies and future-proof businesses. @ipbes.net provides scientific assessments that guide policymakers and sustainable industry practices. On 3-8 Feb in Manchester, UK, #IPBES12 will focus on approving the business and biodiversity assessment.

#IPBES12 is underway with opening statements. Colombia for GRULAC begins with a tribute to a ‘founding member’ who has left—the US—and hopes they will be back soon. Got a little choked up at that - ❤️ - I too hope the US will be back soon.

Inspiring opening statements at #IPBES12 as I hear them is clear the relevance of @ipbes.net and its #Experts' work and the #BizBiodiversity assessment, as well as the need for coordinated action across regions and groups to achieve the important goals of the #Paris and #GBF agreements #ForNature

UKCEH is excited to be part of #IPBES12 in Manchester, the first IPBES Plenary in the UK. This brings scientists, policymakers & business together to connect #biodiversity science with policy. Tonight we welcome IPBES Fellows and early career researchers to our Pathways to IPBES networking event.

Stakeholder Day before #IPBES12 saw many first-time attendees (including private sector) and lively exchanges on how to foster engagement toward #biodiversity conservation, building on facts, emotions, and laying out actionable steps going forward Read ➡️ enb.iisd.org/intergovernm... @ipbes.net

🌍 Something unique is coming… Technology. Art. Nature. Music. All coming together, just like IPBES brings together science, policy & diverse knowledge from around the world. Join us LIVE for the #IPBES12 Opening Ceremony: 🗓️ 3 February 2026 | 09:15 GMT Stream here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouY6...

Inspiring opening remarks at #IPBES12 by the #UKgov, #UNEP, and #CBD highlighted the incredible work of @ipbes.net in driving business and productive activities to ensure humanity's well-being. The time to act is now! #ForNature #NaturePositive

This week, I’m thrilled to be attending #IPBES12 in #Manchester! It promises to be a pivotal event with exciting discussions on the #Business and #Biodiversity report.

It was great to meet so many other Early Career Researchers at our #TIBS2026 mixer last night - both catching up with old friends and meeting new ones. To celebrate all the ECR Biogeographers, we have created a starter pack so you can follow all the exciting work being done: go.bsky.app/KvnmdnK

The best way to end up the #TIBS2026 is seeing the northern lights with colleagues! TIBSers, NORTHERN Lights is in Aarhus NOW! @mquetin.bsky.social @melinafm.bsky.social @biogeography.bsky.social @tibsaarhus2026.bsky.social

❄️ Last week #TIBS2026 took place in Aarhus & I was very happy to be part of the local organising committee: working on ECR events with @mattkerr.bsky.social, designing the logo & signs with the logistic team! I also presented a poster on PA effectiveness & had great discussions, thanks everyone😊

TIBS 2026 conference was a great opportunity to keep disseminating the @peeer.bsky.social initiative and to present the field's New, Diamond 💎 Open Access journal @biogeographyjfab.bsky.social Grateful to Michael N. Dawson for the leadership and trust to co-lead this new endeavour #TIBS2026

Wonderful experience to present my poster on how biomes structure global biodiversity at #TIBS2026 this week in #Aarhus! I had great discussions with a group of creative #Biogeography researchers. Thanks for all that reach out and exchange ideas. See you in #Beijing in 2028!

Congratulations to our @esme-ashe.bsky.social for winning one of the @biogeography.bsky.social poster award at #TIBS2026. Well deserved! 🎉

Really enjoyed the #TIBS2026 conference - lots of new ideas and great talks. Want to give props to @tibsaarhus2026.bsky.social organizers and the catering team for delicious, mostly vegan, and plenty of food. I've had mixed experiences with conference food but this really raised the standard!!

I enjoyed #TIBS2026 so much!!!

Had a great time at #TIBS2026 conference. And appreciative for the award. I wish I took a more serious photo with my poster :( you can't see my themed outfit too.. I was a clown trigger-fish

Just presented at #TIBS2026! On the first day of the conference, I gave a talk on #camtrapReport, an R package I developed to automate camera-trap data reporting for wildlife monitoring, turning raw detections into standardized ecological insights and outputs. @tibsaarhus2026.bsky.social

A wonderful #TIBS2026 @tibsaarhus2026.bsky.social conference has ended. Thanks to the @au.dk team for organizing! And thanks to our @globalchangeeco.bsky.social team for the great company! We now look forward to #TIBS2028 im Beijing!

Our best estimate of Europe's "forest" structure prior to the #megafauna #extinctions: Temperate Europe had high local #vegetation heterogeneity, on average 17% open vegetation, 21% closed #forest & 63% light #woodland ➡️https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2950475925000061 #TIBS2026

As we approach the final segment of #TIBS2026, Susanne Renner takes the stage to share impressive highlights: 475 abstracts from 32 countries and 12 proposals for symposia.

As we near the final stages of #TIBS2026, Rob Whittaker shares exciting insights into the Frontiers of Biogeography journal —covering its development, impact factor, and a compelling call to action for @biogeography.bsky.social members to help grow the journal. ⏩ biogeography.pensoft.net

Proud of @emmamarjakangas.bsky.social for showcasing her insights on seed dispersal vulnerability to global change, a key part of her #EcoNet #MSCA project with me at @econovoau.bsky.social. Take-home: habitat change main driver of vulnerability, but adaptability is high 📢⏩ doi.org/10.1111/ele....

Once again, I am facing an exciting dilemma of where to go during the final day of #TIBS2026 How to choose between these thrilling parallel sessions: ✔️ Extinction ✔️ Climate change and boreal regions ✔️ Spatio-temporal modelling ✔️ Biomes, mapping, and macroecology ✔️ Aquatic distributions!

Humans often go overlooked in #Biogeography, yet Michael Gavin sheds light on their crucial role during the bicultural symposia at #TIBS2026. He also demonstrates how leveraging #biogeography on a macroscopic scale can help predict patterns of language diversity.

I was unable to make it for the #TIBS2026 meeting but sending here greetings and Happy New year to all the good friends and colleagues that are know enjoying the conference in Aarhus @tibsaarhus2026.bsky.social

Languages of #IPLC communities face significant risks, with their centers of diversity mirroring those of biological diversity. Protecting #bidiversity impacts will Also expand tobtb sociocultural real. Kudos to @lenzner.bsky.social for showcasing this important work at #TIBS2026.
