Big win outta Manchester at #IPBES12 - the plenary @ipbes.net approved the #BizBiodiversity Assessment Report.

#IPBES12 delegates spent all day working on the session’s key deliverable: the Business and Biodiversity Assessment
It took until the late afternoon to complete a read-through of the Background Messages
Talks on tables and figures ran into the night

Big thanks to the Instituto Humboldt of Colombia and the Colombian IPBES focal point for their support and nomination.
🌍 The IPBES #BizBiodiversity Report launches on 9 February 2026
The Report explores methods to measure & act on dependencies & impacts of businesses on biodiversity and nature’s contributions to people.

An energising week at #IPBES12. From this year, I’ll be taking on a new role as a member of the Multidisciplinary Expert Panel ( #MEP ) of @ipbes.net. Having been involved since 2019 ( #IAS #GA2, #TF-SCM, and GA2), it’s a privilege to continue contributing to the platform.
We, the #TSU on #scenarios and #models of @ipbes.net is actively discussing groundbreaking current projects and innovative plans for the future during #IPBES12
And we're off!! The working group I at #IPBES12 starts the deliberation of the #BizBiodiversity assessment. "A timely piece, bringing knowledge from many directions together " says co-chair Matt Jones, symbolically sitting under a main clock in an old station where tracks came together.
One of the most exciting aspects of @ipbes.net plenaries is the stunning artwork created for each meeting. This year is no exception, as the artwork for #IPBES12, where the #BizBiodiversity assessment is being discussed, is astonishing. Check out a snapshot of the incredible art below! 🔽
This morning at #IPBES12 🌍🧪
Delegates and observers meet in the main hall of Manchester Central for the opening ceremony of #IPBES12.
Once a train station connecting Manchester to the rest of the world, today it opens the session that will culminate in the #BizBiodiversity report launch.
At the #IPBES12 opening plenary, it’s inspiring to see the relentless momentum of @ipbes.net’s work! This year, the launch of the #BizBiodiversity report, followed by the anticipated #Monitoring report in 2027, the innovative #SpatialPlanning report in 2028, and the impactful #GA2 report in 2029.
Visual with the text: Building business that work with nature.
(1/2) Biodiversity underpins resilient economies and future-proof businesses.
@ipbes.net provides scientific assessments that guide policymakers and sustainable industry practices.
On 3-8 Feb in Manchester, UK, #IPBES12 will focus on approving the business and biodiversity assessment.
#IPBES12 is underway with opening statements. Colombia for GRULAC begins with a tribute to a ‘founding member’ who has left—the US—and hopes they will be back soon. Got a little choked up at that - ❤️ - I too hope the US will be back soon.
Inspiring opening statements at #IPBES12 as I hear them is clear the relevance of @ipbes.net and its #Experts' work and the #BizBiodiversity assessment, as well as the need for coordinated action across regions and groups to achieve the important goals of the #Paris and #GBF agreements #ForNature

UKCEH is excited to be part of #IPBES12 in Manchester, the first IPBES Plenary in the UK. This brings scientists, policymakers & business together to connect #biodiversity science with policy.
Tonight we welcome IPBES Fellows and early career researchers to our Pathways to IPBES networking event.
Stakeholder Day before #IPBES12 saw many first-time attendees (including private sector) and lively exchanges on how to foster engagement toward #biodiversity conservation, building on facts, emotions, and laying out actionable steps going forward

This week, I’m thrilled to be attending #IPBES12 in #Manchester! It promises to be a pivotal event with exciting discussions on the #Business and #Biodiversity report.
International environmental agreements help countries work together to protect our shared planet.
They set common rules to cut pollution, protect nature and tackle climate change across borders.

Very excited to be one of the new Fellows of the BES! It has always been the society where I feel I belong the most 🥰 www.lancaster.ac.uk/news/marine-... @britishecologicalsociety.org @lec-reefs.bsky.social @dsilu.bsky.social @macrobehaviour.bsky.social @lancasteruninews.bsky.social
It was great to meet so many other Early Career Researchers at our #TIBS2026 mixer last night - both catching up with old friends and meeting new ones.
To celebrate all the ECR Biogeographers, we have created a starter pack so you can follow all the exciting work being done:

❄️ Last week #TIBS2026 took place in Aarhus & I was very happy to be part of the local organising committee: working on ECR events with @mattkerr.bsky.social, designing the logo & signs with the logistic team!
I also presented a poster on PA effectiveness & had great discussions, thanks everyone😊
TIBS 2026 conference was a great opportunity to keep disseminating the @peeer.bsky.social initiative and to present the field's New, Diamond 💎 Open Access journal @biogeographyjfab.bsky.social
Grateful to Michael N. Dawson for the leadership and trust to co-lead this new endeavour
#TIBS2026
Wonderful experience to present my poster on how biomes structure global biodiversity at #TIBS2026 this week in #Aarhus! I had great discussions with a group of creative #Biogeography researchers. Thanks for all that reach out and exchange ideas. See you in #Beijing in 2028!
⏩️❓️‼️ If you have your biogeography research to be published, there is the perfect journal with an impact factor of 2.5 & being led & driven by a great society @biogeography.bsky.social🎉‼️⏪️
