Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services Network (BES-Net)

🔎 Some tools give you more information. Climate Policy Radar helps you get to the point faster. It brings together climate policy data and AI-powered research tools that make it easier to search, compare and work through thousands of laws, policies and related documents.

This morning’s panel at the #BESPINtrialogue highlighted a simple fact: if the biodiversity-climate nexus touches everyone, then solutions must draw from more than expert rooms. Listen as Nigel Crawhall of UNESCO reflects on the everyday knowledge people use to read seasons, notice change & adapt.

🌿 The challenge is big, but we are not starting from zero. The evidence is here. The tools exist. The next step is action to support stronger action for biodiversity, climate, food, water, health and sustainable development. 🔊 Hear from @pammcelwee.bsky.social at the #BESPINtrialogue in Skopje. ⬇️

📌 One room. Many sectors. One shared question: How do we move from knowing what nature needs to actually changing the systems that shape its future? From Skopje, Luthando Dziba of @ipbes.net speaks to BESPIN Trialogue participants about the work ahead.

National targets are only as strong as the evidence behind them. 📊 From a farmer noticing fewer bees to a scientist mapping soil health, every observation is a piece of the puzzle. Diverse voices create goals that actually work. 🤝 See the journey! ⬇️

🌿 Big picture, a simple truth: places that protect nature can also support people. UNESCO’s new report shows that across more than 2,260 sites, ecosystems are staying more stable while communities continue to depend on them. Both are already happening together. 🌍 www.besnet.world/library/peop...

🌿 “Harmony with nature” is not just a nice idea. It means changing the systems that drive biodiversity loss. More than ever, we need an economy that values nature, listens to different knowledge systems and works for both people and the planet. #MotherEarthDay

🌍 A lot of the most useful policy detail is buried in long documents. The Rio Policy Radar helps surface it.

🌍 Transformative change is often described through new systems, new tools and new ideas. But traditional and local knowledge also carries ways of governing, caring for and living with ecosystems that remain deeply relevant today. Some pathways to change have been here all along. 📌

🌿 Biodiversity underpins food security, well-being and the ecosystems people depend on every day. At the Second BES-Net Caribbean Regional Trialogue, Aria St. Louis, Environmental Specialist for the Government of Grenada, reflects on why these connections matter for stronger strategies. 👂 Listen.

Eight areas. Eight reminders that environmental equality is still incomplete. ⚠️ These are not symbolic gaps – they shape who controls resources, who influences policy and who benefits from restoration. Unfinished business demands implementation. ✅ Rights. Justice. Action. For All Women and Girls.
