🔍#Biodiversity. Water. Food. Health. #ClimateChange. All of them interact and intersect but how? Check this new graphic from the @ipbes.net #Nexus Assessment and explore the interactions among the nexus elements. Access the Report: www.ipbes.net/nexus/media-...
A two-part infographic showing relationships between five nexus elements: biodiversity, water, food, health, and climate.

Part A shows projected future impacts across six different nexus archetypes, ranging from "Nature-oriented nexus" to "Nature overexploitation." Impacts are indicated using blue upward arrows (positive), red downward arrows (negative), and wavy lines (variable).

Part B displays six network diagrams showing interactions among the nexus elements. Each diagram represents a different archetype, using circles with icons for each element. Arrows between elements show relationships:

Blue arrows indicate positive influences
Red arrows indicate negative influences
Different arrow thicknesses show magnitude (high, moderate, low)
The diagrams progressively show how relationships between elements change from balanced and positive interactions in the "Nature-oriented nexus" to predominantly negative interactions in the "Nature overexploitation" scenario.

The visualization demonstrates how different management approaches affect the relationships between environmental, health, and climate factors.

Our evaluation of London’s universal primary free school meals policy found it provided a welcome reset on dinner money payments for families. 🧽Govt should act to wipe out dinner money debt – alongside an expansion of FSM to prevent debt building again. Read more: urbanhealth.org.uk/insights/rep...
Quote, white text on teal background:

“[Chasing dinner money debt] is now a task which the office doesn't have to do. [And] it's totally removed the stigmatisation and those awkward conversations from that cohort of struggling parents.”

Before the porridge moralists jump in, pls note, that the report found poorer households would have to *double* their food spend to be able to eat a healthy diet. Poverty sickens society. Raise benefits & minimum wage, for cost effective benefits to society. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
