  • Scientists use climate change metrics, such as changes in seasonality or the emergence of new climates, to predict how climate change will impact biodiversity levels. (imperial.ac.uk)
  • These climate change metrics are typically studied in isolation, so it is difficult to accurately predict how changes in climate might impact levels of biodiversity. (imperial.ac.uk)
  • By utilizing Clarity AI's comprehensive product ecosystem and market-leading coverage along with GIST Impact's 15 years of experience and expertise in biodiversity and impact metrics, the partnership will provide a market-leading solution that helps clients identify and size their exposure to companies that have a negative impact on biodiversity. (tmcnet.com)
  • One way Clarity AI delivers on its mission to bring societal impact to markets is by ensuring its capabilities are delivered directly into clients' workflows through integrations with partners like BlackRock - Aladdin, Refinitiv an LSEG business, BNP Manaos, Allfunds, and Simcorp. (tmcnet.com)

  • Our research group is trying to find methods to use the agricultural landscape with care, so that biodiversity is preserved and the conditions for food and bioenergy production are improved. (lu.se)
  • Biodiversity, the variety, and the variability of life on Earth have been adversely impacted by many aspects of civilization, but commercial farming is one of the most egregious. (greenmatters.com)
  • Instead, the variability of stages and stand structures should be increased to promote landscape-scale biodiversity. (lib4ri.ch)
  • Ørsted has therefore joined the Science Based Targets Network Corporate Engagement Program to help develop nature science-based targets and advance long-term development of tools and guidance to measure its impact and dependencies on biodiversity, land, water, and oceans. (evwind.es)

  • This means all renewable energy projects commissioned by Ørsted will have a net-positive impact on biodiversity by 2030 at the latest. (evwind.es)
  • Today, Ørsted works to avoid, mitigate, and address the potential biodiversity impact of its projects, with one of the renewable energy industry's most experienced in-house teams of environment specialists. (evwind.es)
  • Our Impact range continues to grow: with four strategies and a multi-skilled team of eleven spread across different countries, it is now a substantial operation. (ubp.com)
  • On a positive note, I've been able to make more rapid and substantial progress than expected on biodiversity data transcription, editing and management. (biomedcentral.com)
