🟠 global
🔴 warming
🟣 matters.
Global warming of 1.5°C, 2°C or +3°C represent vastly different scenarios for the future of humanity.
The question is: Which future will we choose?
What do we value when we value #nature?
@IPBES's new assessment report dives into this question, highlighting the need to broaden which values decision-makers consider and laying out a novel typology of nature's values.

Climate action in 3 steps:
1. Reduce everything we can, as much as we can, first.
