Ecosystem Risk Assessment: new solutions to the global biodiversity crisis (Old ID 26808)
Role
Principal Investigator
Description
This project aims to develop a typological framework for the world's ecosystems, and undertake the first broadscale global risk assessment for ecosystems. It also includes detailed Australian risk assessments and scenario analyses to develop sustainable management of ecosystem services and climate adaptation strategies. The outcomes include the first global-scale framework for classifying terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems, the first global Red List of Ecosystems an didentified priorities for protecting Earth's remaining wild ecosystems and restoring those that have suffered degradation. These advances will support progress on UN Sustainable Development Goals. The case studies will significantly benefit on-ground action.
