🇸🇪 🌲How will the typical Swedish landscape look like in 2100? Our @mariestenseke.bsky.social from Uni Gothenburg recently featured on #SverigesRadio where she discussed the ongoing transformation of our landscapes in response to #ClimateChange 🎙️⤵️(in Swedish 🇸🇪) #Biodiversity #TransformativeChange

Skriver på dagens DN Debatt tillsammans med Christer Mattsson: www.dn.se/debatt/svens... "I tider av ökad exkluderande nationalism och polarisering behöver Sverige en antirasism som är konsekvent och som klarar av att uppmärksamma alla former av rasism."

Så snyggt gjort!

Beautiful & rich visualisation of the #IPBES #TransformativeChange assessment ⤵️

Very important highlight of #IndigenousPeoples and #LocalCommunities in the #IPBES #TransformativeChange Report! Like we aim for in BIOTraCes: #Empowering marginalised groups and acknowledging a variety in values: #Pluralising

2024 is the year when the Taliban continue creating the world’s most serious women’s rights crisis. After two years rule, they have systematically violated the rights of women and girls including as they relate to education, paid employment, freedom of speech and movement www.hrw.org/news/2024/02...

After 3 inspiring years of work, the @ipbes.bsky.social-Transformative Change assessment is finally out. Transformative change for biodiversity is urgent, necessary, challenging - but possible! Reconnecting people & nature through biocultural conservation approaches is a key strategy. www.ipbes.net

The #TransformativeChange Assessment is the 1st @ipbes.bsky.social report on the root causes of the biodiversity crisis: ➡️ Disconnection / domination of nature & people ➡️ Concentration of power & wealth ➡️ Prioritization of short-term gains Recommended holiday reading! www.ipbes.net/transformati...

Great news!

”Skyldigheten att följa gällande lag är standard i en rättsstat […] detta tycks regeringen vilja runda med sitt löfte om att stoppa fler svenska medborgarskap, i väntan på en ny lag. Om regeringen agerar så, måste domstolar och myndigheter göra motstånd.” www.dn.se/debatt/reger...

Hurra!

At #IPBES11, delegates address the #TransformativeChange Assessment, discussing, among other things, the role of civil society organizations, including social mobilizations that have faced violence and rights' violations, in fighting against #biodiversity loss.

Just checked in for the trip to #IPBES11 in Namibia ! Looking forward to some intense and crucially important days of science-policy interactions, especially the approval of IPBES transformative change assessment, and to a couple of degrees Celsius or so more than here at 59° North

Only 10 more days until the 11th session of the @ipbes.bsky.social Plenary. 🌍🧪 At #IPBES11 scientists & policymakers will consider 2 major new assessment reports to inform global #biodiversity policy & action: 📘#NexusAssessment Report 📗#TransformativeChange Assessment Report

Dagens viktigaste artikel, om debattklimatet i Sverige (och USA). Om hat, hot, Självcensur. Tystnaden. Om normförskjutningar uppifrån. Om saklighet, tolerans, som grund i debatten och hur det annars är ett verkligt hot mot demokratin. Läs: #kultur #samhälle www.dn.se/kultur/asa-w...

Women are under-represented at senior levels in #academia globally, & across all #science 🧪 disciplines, as shown by these "scissor-shaped curves" ✂️ So how can we ever achieve #gender #equality? We discuss various strategies in this #Cell Commentary #WomeninSTEM www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... 🧵 1/

Allt fler högerdebattörer kommer ut som religiösa - eller hyllar ”kristna värderingar”utan att själva gå i kyrkan. Hur blev kristendomen blev ett vapen i pågående kulturkrig? www.expressen.se/kultur/joel-...

Pinsamt att höra biståndsministern tala om att skära ned biståndet från en-procentsmålet för att vi har gängkriminalitet i Sverige. Som om det inte finns andra pengar. Fattiga barn i Kongo, krigsflyktingar i Somalia och demokratiarbete i diktaturer skall betala svenska skattesänkningar. #svtagenda
