A beautiful leaf-like round patterned image with overlay text that reads "Land and or resource tenure insecurity, as well as declines in nature, have greater impacts on women and girls, who are most often negatively impacted." - IPBES #GlobalAssessment and the IPBES logo are also visible elements.
Women & girls bear the heaviest burden of environmental degradation. πΏ
@ipbes.net #GlobalAssessment
This #IWD2025, let's remember that inclusive environmental governance isn't just fair - it's essential for effective biodiversity protection.
Look, I know for many of us itβs a struggle just to face every day & deal with our own personal worlds. But every individual choice has a larger, longer impact. If you think paying attention to global ecosystem collapse is a luxury academic exercise, youβre wrong. This is our future.
