Figure/Finding Explainer: I love the figure from our chapter that made it into the Summary for Policymakers of the IPBES #transformativechange assessment. It was a group effort that captures our entire chapter in a single image. Let me talk you through it: 🧵

SPM: ipbes.canto.de/pdfviewer/vi...
The SPM figure drawn from Ch4 of the Transformative Change Assessment - it is a wheel, with the central views/structures/practices that need to be changed at the center, a ring of underlying causes of biodiversity loss and nature's decline around the center, another ring of five challenges to transformative change, and outside the 20 barriers that emerge from these challenges.

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
ipbes.net IPBES @ipbes.net · Jan 4
The #TransformativeChange Report highlights the diverse perspectives of Indigenous Peoples and local communities and demonstrates that their practices and lifestyles are often rooted in knowledge and value systems that promote sustainability.

— Audrey Azoulay, UNESCO DG
A striking image of a coastline. A photo of UNESCO DG Audrey Azoulay appears over the background image, along with her quote which reads "Our planet is facing growing environmental and social crises. Increasing evidence shows that these issues cannot be addressed through gradual action – our social and economic systems instead need large-scale transformative change."
