The Global Centre on Biodiversity for Climate (GCBC) will host the next session in its Biodiversity Briefing series, exploring how biodiversity assessments can generate evidence that is relevant and useful to researchers, local communities, Indigenous Peoples and policymakers.
The online webinar will bring together researchers from GCBC-funded projects to discuss approaches to biodiversity assessment, their application in different local contexts and ways to communicate and apply research findings. The session will include presentations, a moderated panel discussion and an audience Q&A, drawing on practical experiences from projects across different landscapes.
Presentations will be delivered by Dr. Leonardo De Sousa Miranda, Senior Research Associate at Lancaster University, whose project focuses on climate-resilient forest restoration in the Eastern Amazon, and Michael Ruggeri, Research Assistant at the University of Oxford, representing the Flourishing Landscapes Programme. Dr. Julie Nieto, Scientific Researcher at ESPOL, Ecuador, will moderate the discussion, drawing on work on biodiversity, climate and social resilience in coastal communities.
The briefing is intended for anyone interested in biodiversity assessment, particularly researchers involved in implementing or interpreting assessments. It will also be relevant to practitioners and policymakers working at the biodiversity and climate interface.
