🌍 The IPBES Monitoring Assessment is now open for external review! This assessment, prepared by a global team of experts, explores how biodiversity and ecosystem monitoring can better support decision-making at all levels. Many members of the GEO BON community have contributed their expertise as authors to this assessment, reflecting our network’s strong engagement in advancing global biodiversity observation and monitoring. 🔍 We invite researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to participate in the open review because your insights are essential to ensure the assessment reflects the best available knowledge and perspectives from across the biodiversity monitoring community. 🗓️ The external review is open from 5 November 2025 to 7 January 2026. 👉 Learn more and access the review materials here: https://lnkd.in/e2gAD7D6 Online dialogues about the external review process will be available for those that register as reviewers. See the above link for full details. Let’s help strengthen the foundations for a more comprehensive and effective global biodiversity monitoring system.

The COP30 Brazil World Leaders' Summit has opened in Belém with a powerful call from United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres: missing the 1.5 °C target would be a “moral failure.” Yet this summit can still be a turning point if science, policy, and society act together. Future Earth is contributing to that momentum with two new key reports — 10 New Insights in Climate Science and The Resilience Must-Knows — which will frame several of the many COP30 events we are hosting or a part of. Together, they highlight pathways for accelerating transformative action across systems and scales. Explore our events and join us in shaping a decade of delivery: https://lnkd.in/erxz2FYe #ClimateScience #COP30 #Resilience #ClimateAction #10Insights #9MustKnows

🔴 #ClimateScience: The global scientific community urges continued support for scientific research and collaboration to respond to climate crisis. ❗ The statement calls attention to the challenging current landscape for climate change-related research, marked by funding cuts and the urgent need to protect scientific outputs, uphold scientific integrity and build trust in science and scientific institutions through inclusive and collaborative approaches. We commit to working with a range of stakeholders including funders, governments, multilateral institutions, the broader science community, and the public to protect and enhance international scientific collaboration for climate monitoring and action. ➡️ Read and share: https://lnkd.in/ePt5xyjD Future Earth Committee on Space Research - COSPAR International Network for Governmental Science Advice (INGSA) Integrated Research on Disaster Risk (IRDR) Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research Scientific Committee on Solar-Terrestrial Physics (SCOSTEP) Urban Health & Well-being (UHWB) Committee on Data (CODATA) Frequencies for Radio Astronomy & Space Science (IUCAF) World Data System (WDS) #Climate #ClimateCrisis #COP30 #ISCStatement #ClimateScience #ClimateResearch #ClimateAction

OUT NOW: Resilience Science Must-Knows: Nine things every decision-maker should know about resilience. This report distils the most essential insights from resilience science, providing nine must-knows for decision-makers navigating complex global challenges. Developed with input from scientists across the globe and developed through workshops with decision-makers, community leaders, and the private sector, it is designed to turn science into action. Key insights include: - Invest today - benefit tomorrow: Resilience investments lower costs, stimulate growth, and strengthens societies - Navigate accelerating risk: Resilience helps us prepare for uncertainty and cope with shocks - Address power imbalances: Failing to address inequalities risks reinforcing the systems that cause vulnerability Explore the full report: https://lnkd.in/eSgfNpH5 Stockholm Resilience Centre Global Resilience Partnership Albert Norström Cibele Queiroz Johan Rockström Fatima Denton #ResilienceScienceMustKnows #9MustKnows #COP30

Escalation. Acceleration. Warning signs are everywhere. 2023 and 2024 saw record global temperatures. Not just incremental increases, but dramatic, unprecedented jumps in heat across both land and ocean. New science suggests these shifts may reflect deepening system instability, with land carbon sinks weakening and marine heatwaves intensifying. These are signals of reduced resilience, and the need for urgent, systemic action. Explore the insights, including recommendations for policy makers, in the full report: https://lnkd.in/eCMrVGrJ #10ClimateInsights #ClimateScience #EarthSystem The Earth League World Climate Research Programme (WCRP)

The climate negotiations must be guided by science.   This year’s “10 New Insights in Climate Science” report urges action over promises, warning that the world can no longer afford delays.   “The climate negotiations must be guided by science, and the 10 New Insights provide the best summary of the latest updates in climate science. These insights provide overwhelming evidence that we are in a state of climate urgency, which means that COP30 must be the COP of implementation – we can no longer afford new promises without delivery,” says Centre co-founder Johan Rockström, member of the report’s editorial board.   One of the insights highlights the recent record warm ocean temperatures, and warns that oceanic warming has far-reaching consequences. The map is showing the impacts of the exceptional marine heatwaves in 2023–2024.   The 10 New Insights in Climate Science is a collaboration between Future Earth, the The Earth League, and the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP), involving 70 globally renowned scientists from 21 countries.
