Global policy around climate and nature goals has evolved considerably over the last decade. Today, countries recognize that climate and biodiversity crises are profoundly interconnected, and that one cannot be solved without addressing the other. Elevating biodiversity and ecosystem collapse to the same geopolitical urgency as climate change is largely due to the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES). As the platform enters its second decade, and with the Convention on Biological Diversity Subsidiary Body on Implementation meeting in Nairobi this month to assess progress toward implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KM-GBF), focus will be on how countries integrate IPBES assessment findings into their national policy and legislation frameworks, planning, and national budgets for a truly deep societal and institutional transformation.
