Opening of the academic year @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social on a high note with the theme #HealthyPlanet - can we work collaboratively science society and policy for a healthier planet? In these turbulent times? Are we rising to the challenge? Thinking, reflecting, wishing, strategizing....

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

Thrift shops or op-shops make me happy (discovering amazing things especially flowerpots and vases)and sad (someone's life on sale..) at the same time...

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.

Also note, the challenges loosely line up with the most salient underlying causes of biodiversity loss and nature’s decline.

We start now with the 11th Plenary of IPBES - more critical than ever to bridge science with policy to deal with biodiversity loss - and I could not have done it without my amazing co-CLAs Sergio Lambertucci and Ed Carr and the fantastic team of chapter 4 - we are gearing up #IPBES11

What about professional jealousy .... Is there any equivalent to limerence? I will search for limerence as well.... I learnt a new thing today, thank you!
