Teal quote card with IPBES logo, a circular photo of Luthando Dziba and an illustrated wildlife border. Quote is: Climate change intensifies the risks to biodiversity, but at the same time biodiversity action, such as avoiding, reducing and reversing land degradation, could provide more than a third of the most cost-effective greenhouse gas mitigation activities needed by 2030. What is clear is that we need to act now for both climate and biodiversity. Luthando Dziba, IPBES Executive Secretary.
