Protecting biodiversity requires addressing social inequalities Sina Leipold and Heidi Wittmer World Biodiversity Forum #WBF2022 University of Zurich

We lack a compelling vision to move forward and achieve transformative change Sina Leipold and Heidi Wittmer World Biodiversity Forum #WBF2022 University of Zurich

Wanted: a set of compelling narratives to move forward. There are great ideas out there, but no narrative to implement them Sina Leipold and Heidi Wittmer World Biodiversity Forum #WBF2022 University of Zurich

Lock-ins that keep us in unsustainability: 1. unchallenged values and paradigms, 2. current incumbents dominate discourse, 3. current narratives are applied to solutions Sina Leipold and Heidi Wittmer World Biodiversity Forum #WBF2022 University of Zurich

Society needs spaces to develop new narratives, based on human rights and learning from indigenous societies. Heidi Wittmer World Biodiversity Forum #WBF2022 UZH Science University of Zurich

We need a Global #Biodiversity Observing System to support international monitoring🌏 and address the huge data disparities that exist today. This GEO BON brief describes GBiOS as a worldwide network of *connected* national and regional monitoring networks #COP15

This has been a major effort to put out with colleagues on the Earth Commission The Earth Commission . For #biodiversity and people to thrive, #conservation efforts must be #NaturePositive, #PeoplePositive and tackle the underlying causes of decline authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S25…

Québec has just released its #biodiversity portal - 21 million observations (!!) in one place for easy access and exploration. Linked to a biodiversity observation network #COP15 Explore here: biodiversite-quebec.ca

On the sidelines of #COP15, @ipbes Executive Secretary will give a keynote speech🎙️ at the World Climate Foundation #WBSummit2022, which aims to catalyze public-private partnerships and #NaturePositive investments. 🐘🌿 Register to tune in & view the online programme: worldbiodiversitysummit.org/montreal

Had a wonderful visit at U. Zurich. Chatted with many colleagues and students about their inspiring research URPP GCB They have a cool new undergrad and Masters program in #biodiversity. Also stopped to say hello to the “plankton” cow. Thanks Owen Petchey Cornelia Krug for 👌🏻 hosting

Critical Social Sciences are key in fostering and maintaining transdisciplinary collaboration and accelerating necessary structural and paradigmatic change. New paper out with Sierra Deutsch, PhD RK Annina Michel rdcu.be/c8aVx URPP GCB UZH Science UZH Geography

Experts agree that critical social sciences are crucial for tackling the interconnected biodiversity, climate, and global inequality crises. In our new paper, we suggest the (expanded) development of literacy tools to assist their inclusion in solutions. rdcu.be/c8dFM

ETH_WPF sent an #open #letter to the editors-in-chief NZZ, SRF & @Sonntagszeitung who abused an unpublished study from Universität Zürich to claim that equality measures are useless as women don’t want a career - and rather look for a successful husband: eth-wpf.ch/open-letter-on…👇🧵(1/14)
