Equity in Urban Green Space Access and Governance: an interdisciplinary Oxford case study.
Martha Crockatt and Mattia Troiano have been exploring equity of urban greenspace in Oxford communities. Here they present findings from their interdisciplinary research, which has used a wide range of methods to explore the implications of adopting a recognitional equity approach when thinking about access to greenspace and participation in its governance, culminating in a […]
Canopy functional trait variation across Earth’s tropical forests
Tropical forest canopies are the biosphere’s most concentrated atmospheric interface for carbon, water and energy. However, in most Earth System Models, the diverse and heterogeneous tropical forest biome is represented as a largely uniform ecosystem with either a singular or a small number of fixed canopy ecophysiological properties. This situation arises, in part, from a […]
Leveraging human behavioural science for conservation. Brock Bergseth
In this video, we dive deep into how human behavioral science can be a game-changer in conservation efforts. Many of the most pressing environmental and conservation issues stem from human actions, but addressing these problems requires more than just awareness campaigns. Traditional methods like educating the public often fail to create lasting change. To make […]
What is a Unit of Nature? Measurement Challenges in the Emerging Biodiversity Credit Market
There is growing interest in developing generalisable, standardised measurements of biodiversity, in particular to help the business and financial sectors to quantify biodiversity impacts. In their recent paper, Dr Hannah Wauchope and colleagues created a framework to explain how such units are defined in the rapidly growing voluntary biodiversity credits market. In this seminar, Hannah […]
Biodiversity science for 2030 – knowledge needs to support action to reach the targets of the GBF
In this video, Andrew Gonzalez explores the critical role of biodiversity science in achieving the targets set by the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) for 2030. With growing global efforts to reverse biodiversity loss, urgent and integrated action across all sectors is essential to bend the biodiversity curve. However, the implementation of the GBF is […]
