Message from His Majesty, King Charles III, Delivered by the Right Honourable Emma Reynolds MP, UK Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs to the Opening Ceremony of the 12th Session of the IPBES Plenary
Message from His Majesty, King Charles III, Delivered by the Right Honourable Emma Reynolds MP, UK Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs to the Opening Ceremony of the 12th Session of the IPBES Plenary, in Manchester, UK on 3 February 2026.
I would like to extend my warmest welcome to Manchester, and to the United Kingdom, to all the delegates attending this twelfth meeting of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services. We all know why Nature is so vitally important as, above all, we are part of it, not apart from it. It is the keystone infrastructure regulating our planetary system, including our climate, the food we eat, the water we drink and the air we breathe.
It is the basic fabric supporting all living processes on Earth, including all our economic activities. Therefore, it is the ultimate foundation of our societies and, critically, our economy – as well as of our own humanity. But we know Nature is under the most severe threat. We are witnessing an unprecedented triple crisis of biodiversity loss, climate change and pollution at a pace that far outstrips the planet’s ability to cope. The best available science can help inform decisions and actions, in order to steward Nature and, most important, to restore it for future generations.
Critically, we possess the knowledge to reverse this existential crisis and transition towards an economy that prospers in harmony with Nature . IPBES has successfully brought together world-leading scientists, Indigenous and local knowledge, citizen science, and governments, to share valuable knowledge through the critically important IPBES. Assessments. We have the opportunity to create and deploy, at scale, instruments that can leverage this knowledge for tangible investments, through strong partnerships with governments, the investment community and the private sector.
This week you will work to agree the Business and Biodiversity Assessment; I pray with all my heart, that it will help shape concrete action for years to come, including leveraging public and private sector finance to close by, 2030, the annual global biodiversity gap of approximately 700 billion U.S. dollars. Institutions like the International Advisory Panel on Biodiversity Credits, seeded by the UK and French governments, can help bridge these gaps by creating conservation finance instruments, as promoted by the Global Biodiversity Framework.
Instruments like high integrity biodiversity credits, especially if integrated with high integrity carbon credits, can promote inclusive business models which could unlock billions of dollars in critical investment, channel funds to Nature’s stewards and, through this, support the inclusive development of Nature-rich countries. I would like to thank all the experts and delegates for your crucially important efforts in these most challenging of times and can only wish you well in your deliberations. Future generations and the sanctity of Nature herself depend upon them.
