Thanks for that- was just at the EAT launch and we’re getting so much better at the nuance that the science needs for more equitable and just recommendations for food system transformation that account for climate but also other earth systems (water, biodiversity…)

Great presentation from Andy Stirling (SPRU) at #Metascience2025 highlighting how engagement with policymakers is as much about 'justification' as 'truth'. We must seek to embrace uncertainty and not hide complexity in academic labour, understanding that dissensus is a powerful bulwark to democracy.

IPBES task force on models and scenarios NFF explained

Nature Futures Framework

doi.org/10.1016/B978...
"This chapter examines the NFF and its potential to guide transformative policy solutions rooted in diverse and locally held values of nature."
Fig. 3. Summary of 31 studies published in academic journals that engaged with the NFF, reviewed by Okayasu et al. (2025), showing the proportions of: a) methods (72 total counts), b) scenario types (49 total counts), c) policy cycle stages (62 total counts), and d) outputs generated in the application of the NFF (87 total counts). As studies can fall into multiple categories, the total count exceeds the number of studies.
