I have been quiet here, not sharing any observations of the #IPBES12 negotiations, as they happen behind (social media) doors Luckily these is some greating reporting happening for those who want to get an idea of the main issues and discussion items of the Member States 👇🏾

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.

Voor iederen die nu op @ipbes.net zit of #ipbes12 volgt en informatie te delen heeft over business and biodiversity - vertel het aan Tamar Stelling @decorrespondent.nl decorrespondent.nl/16711/oproep...

We’re in Manchester 🇬🇧 for #IPBES12! Governments, scientists, and biodiversity leaders are meeting for the IPBES Plenary and the launch of the Business & Biodiversity Report. 🌱 The Ecosystem Services Partnership and #ECRs Youth are there - observing, engaging, connecting. Meet us at @ipbes.net !

Opening of #IPBES12 Plenary, a good moment to feel the Manchester vibe: an industrial setting in which tracks used to come together, with experimental music a fusion of technology, art, and nature. Perfect foundation for a constructive meeting. bionicandthewires.com

Next up, businesses stakeholders take the stage, reflecting the oppertunities and challenges of turing biodiversity knowledge into business action. #IPBES12

I must say I was pleased to see the ongoing interest in the @ipbes.net Land Degradation & Restoration Assessment during the stakeholder day at #IPBES12 Find the results here 👇🏾 www.ipbes.net/assessment-r... 📖 www.nature.com/articles/s41... 📃

IPBES assessments bring together the best available policy relevant knowledge on nature and its contributions to peoeple. AKA massive reports. 📚 Updake is growing, with clear examples from all over the world. What is needed to bring science and decision making closer together? #IPBES12 #ForNature

Kicking off a week on #BizBiodiversity for #IPBES12 with a room full stakeholders with sharp observations and questions. 👇🏾

Three great new reports on business & biodiversity links just came out. @utwente.bsky.social teamed up with EY denkstatt to make guidelines for #FAIR and responsible nature data sharing by businesses.
