An IPBES social media image featuring a circular white frame containing a quote, set against an aerial cityscape background that transitions from hazy yellow-brown to clear blue skies. The quote is from Matt Jones, identified as Co-chair of the IPBES Business and Biodiversity Assessment. The text describes the report's comprehensive scope, drawing from thousands of sources into a single framework.
