Youth4Nature (Y4N) is pleased to present the illustrated report on the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KM GBF). The report and illustrations break down the GBF for our youth community and audience and provide information about the importance of inclusion of youth as well as about the contradictions between Y4N’s Global Youth Statement on nature-based solutions. This report, with an accompanying summary of portions of the KM GBF, includes specific sections related to youth and the nature-climate nexus as well as graphics for social media.
Summary: IPBES-IPCC Co-Sponsored Workshop Report on Biodiversity and Climate Change
On June 10, 2021 the IPBES and IPCC released their first ever collaborative report highlighting that, not only are the climate crisis and biodiversity loss are interlinked, but that we cannot address one without the other, and that work needs to centre human wellbeing.
These reports can be long and technical, so we’ve read through and summaries the most important takeaways for you.
Y4N 2019-2020 Impact Report
We wanted to make sure that our talk of impact wasn't just that - talk. The results of our Impact Report showed us that our Y4N work is making meaningful and authentic impact on the ground and at the global level. We're talking everything from almost 20 webinars and a storytelling exhibit with 1000 visitors up to dialogues with government officials from over 9 countries and 1 million (!) people reached on social media.

The Double-Edged Nature of Land: A Practical Analysis of the IPCC's Special Report on Climate Change and Land
“[…] the IPCC’s SRCCL shines light on interlinked global challenges like climate adaptation and mitigation, desertification, land degradation and food security, whilst suggesting land-related actions/NBS that can mutually benefit all these areas. Whilst much of the current discussion misguidedly focuses on singular individual lifestyle changes, just like with the Special Report on 1.5C, we urgently need large-scale and context-dependent action that is participatory, inclusive, multi-sectoral, and actively considers ecological, social, economic, cultural and institutional factors.”
