A groundbreaking study conducted across 30 field sites in the southwest UK has revealed the importance of incorporating varied habitats at the landscape scale.
The research, led by a team of ecologists at the University of Bristol, addresses critical questions in conservation and land management, emphasising the importance of understanding species interactions and how food chains operate across multiple habitats.

Nature Based Solutions (NbS) are seen as a promising venue for coastal adaptation to climate change. Combining natural dynamics with technical solutions, NbS can be driven by unpredictable natural dynamics, unanticipated surprises, and changing external conditions. And as such, they involve fundamentally different uncertainties.

In a new collaborative paper led by Marta Olazabal and published in One Earth, the authors argue that historically marginalized and subaltern forms of local knowledge must be considered in combination with technocratic top-down approaches to climate knowledge production.

The global environmental crisis calls for transformative approaches to sustainability. Nature-based Solutions (NbS) have great resonance in science and practice, but their ability to bring about transformative change has not been assessed. A new publication in One Earth provides evidence that NbS can contribute to transformative change towards sustainable trajectories.

Forest Carbon Credits: Separating the “good” from the merely “good enough” new discussion paper published at WWF by Naikoa Aguilar-Amuchastegui (Senior Director Forest Carbon Science, WWD-US), Jason M. Funk (Principal & Funder at Land Use & Climate Knowledge Initiative) and María José Sanz (BC3 - Basque Centre for Climate Change Director).

Recent assessment reports by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) have highlighted the risks to humanity arising from the unsustainable use of natural resources.

Cities are projected to hold two-thirds of the world’s population by 2050 under a period of intensifying climate change. Ensuring sustainable, climate-resilient, and equitable cities will require moving beyond incremental adaptation to transformative adaptation. What does transformative adaptation mean for cities, and how can it be achieved, particularly in cities with low adaptive capacity?

The latest article by Elena Galán de Castillo, researcher at the multidisciplinary centre BC3 - Basque Centre for Climate Change, published in Mundo Ganadero summarizes the results and consequences on the effects of moving from two milkings per day to one in small ruminants

The extent to which the increasingly frequent episodes of drought-induced tree decline and mortality could alter key soil biogeochemical cycles is unclear. Understanding this connection between tree decline and mortality and soils is important because forested ecosystems serve as important long-term sinks for carbon (C) and essential nutrients (e.g., nitrogen and phosphorus).
