Simultaneously addressing biodiversity loss and climate change to identify synergies and co-benefits, and understand trade-offs.

Our work

We use and develop economic-ecological models that integrate biodiversity and ecosystem services with the economic system. We use empirical approaches to estimate changes in the provision of ecosystem services as a response to human drivers. We develop and analyze climate change mitigation and adaptation scenarios that account for its impacts on the ecosystems. We analyze the effects of ignoring the connection and dependence of the economic system on the biosphere. We examine future pathways that aim to bend the curve on biodiversity loss and reach targets for climate change mitigation.
