The newly launched IPBES Nexus Report sheds light on the intricate connections between biodiversity, water, food, health, and climate change. It highlights how these global challenges are deeply interlinked, often compounding one another, and calls for solutions that address them together. Developed by experts from across the globe, the report emphasizes the need for coordinated, cross-sectoral action to achieve meaningful change.

This comprehensive assessment explores more than 70 response options, presenting strategies that maximize benefits across multiple areas. From restoring ecosystems to adopting sustainable agricultural practices, the report illustrates how integrated approaches can tackle complex issues effectively. Real-world examples, like efforts in Senegal to reduce waterborne diseases while boosting freshwater access and local incomes, demonstrate the transformative potential of holistic solutions.

The Nexus Report offers policymakers, organizations, and communities a clear framework to align their actions with global goals, such as the SDGs and the Paris Agreement. It calls for collaborative governance and inclusive policies to ensure solutions benefit both people and the planet. By addressing these interconnected challenges, the report provides a pathway to a more resilient and sustainable future.
