Project description
Synergies for biodiversity conservation, poverty alleviation and climate change
The challenges stemming from COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine conflict have exacerbated issues related to biodiversity conservation, poverty and climate change, posing threats to both human well-being and the environment. However, the lack of comprehensive data complicates efforts to assess their impact on socio-ecological systems. With this in mind, the MSCA-funded CoBioPovCli project will develop an integrated spatial planning approach to foster synergies between actors in biodiversity conservation, poverty alleviation and climate change mitigation. Through the use of literature, models and remote sensing data, the project aims to generate new knowledge about the manifold values of biodiversity and offer evidence-based recommendations for promoting sustainable approaches. It will bolster Europe’s scientific and technical capacity and contribute to excellence in these areas.
Objective
CoBioPovCli addresses the question of how to conserve biodiversity, alleviate poverty, and mitigate climate change simultaneously, which are interrelated challenges that threaten human and environmental well-being. The importance of this topic is highlighted by the current context of the global COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war, which have exacerbated these problems and their impacts on human and environmental well-being. The main gaps in this topic are: (1) lack of comprehensive data, especially on the dynamics of socio-ecological systems, (2) lack of integrated knowledge, and (3) lack of holistic approaches that consider co-benefits and synergies. CoBioPovCli aims to overcome the limitations and gaps in the current state-of-the-art by developing an integrated spatial planning approach that can achieve win-win synergies between biodiversity conservation, poverty alleviation, and climate change mitigation from a social-ecological systems perspective.
CoBioPovCli will use literature, models remote sensing data, and other data sources to construct and apply the spatial planning approach, based on case studies, spatial analysis and scenario simulation. CoBioPovCli will generate new knowledge, data and solutions that are conceptually novel, scientifically rigorous and policy-relevant. It will enhance our understanding of the multiple values of biodiversity and its contributions to human well-being under changing climatic conditions. It will provide evidence-based recommendations and best practices for promoting more integrated and sustainable approaches that benefit both people and the planet. CoBioPovCli will also enhance Europes scientific and technical capacity and excellence in the field of co-benefits and synergies between biodiversity conservation, poverty alleviation, and climate change mitigation, as well as contribute to Europes global leadership and influence in addressing these interlinked challenges.
