This study models combined extinction risk for mammals and loss of Nature's Contributions to People (NCP) under SSP1-2.6 and SSP5-8.5 warming scenarios, integrating life-history traits with climate and land-use predictors. It finds 52.3% of…

This paper critically analyses South Australia's planning law as applied to blue carbon restoration, showing that the regime prioritises preserving the status quo and fails to facilitate ecological restoration. It argues that integrating re…

This conceptual article asks when nature-related reporting becomes decision-useful across biological asset accounting, biodiversity disclosure, and ESG accountability. Synthesizing 155 published and institutional sources, it identifies four…

This paper examines whether local ecological knowledge (LEK) can inform biodiversity monitoring in climate-vulnerable blue carbon ecosystems such as mangroves, seagrass beds, and salt marshes. Without an abstract, the specific methods and f…

This paper reviews the interlinkages between climate change and biodiversity loss, focusing on ecosystem services, human communities, and the Indian context. It maps pathways of climate impacts across terrestrial, freshwater, coastal, and m…

Based on Invest4Nature public-sector interviews, this brief maps drivers and barriers to Nature-based Solution (NbS) investment. Despite cost-effective climate and community resilience benefits, NbS economic value remains under-recognized, …

This paper argues for moving beyond unit-level certification toward landscape-scale operational agendas for biodiversity-positive tropical production. It addresses governance, metrics, and incentives needed at the landscape level rather tha…

Using a 2000–2022 global panel, the study shows renewable energy reduces extinction risk via GHG emission cuts (mediation analysis). Effects are nonlinear, weakening at higher levels, and stronger in Europe than Africa. It empirically links…
