The new @IPCC_CH report brings together the #ClimateCrisis and #BiodiversityCrisis. One paragraph alone makes stark reading with high to very high confidence in the science (summary🧵 below). The time for immediate action is NOW. #ipccreport #IPCCIsAboutMe #ClimateReport 
1) "#ClimateChange has caused substantial damages, and increasingly irreversible losses in terrestrial, freshwater and coastal and open marine ecosystems (high confidence)"
2) "The extent and magnitude of #climatechange impacts are larger than estimated in previous assessments (high confidence)"
3) "Widespread deterioration of #ecosystem structure and function, resilience and natural adaptive capacity, as well as shifts in seasonal timing have occurred due to climate change (high confidence) with adverse socioeconomic consequences (high confidence)"
4) "Approximately half of the #species assessed globally have shifted polewards or, on land, also to higher elevations (very high confidence)"
5) "Hundreds of local losses of #species have been driven by increases in the magnitude of heat extremes (high confidence), as well as mass mortality events on land and in the ocean (very high confidence)"
