This talk explores how engaging with diverse knowledge systems, across sciences, humanities, and Indigenous perspectives, can support truly transformative change in conservation, with insights from emerging UK-based frameworks and practices.
This talk presents findings from a global meta-analysis of 186 studies assessing biodiversity outcomes over time. It shows that in two-thirds of cases, conservation actions improved biodiversity or slowed its decline. Results highlight the effectiveness of targeted interventions such as invasive species control, habitat restoration, and protected areas—while calling for a transformational scale-up to meet global nature targets.
In Australia, where climate debate is polarized, Farmers for Climate Action (FCA) emerged in 2015 as a non-partisan charity uniting farmers with climate science and policy. This study delves into the experiences of New South Wales farmers who joined FCA.

Join us as our own distinguished Prof. Xuemai Bai and Dr. Steve Lade discuss Earth safe system boundaries for climate, the biosphere, water and nutrient cycles, and aerosols at global and subglobal scales. Learn how cities can be transformative agents for a climate-safe future.
The Fenner International Lunch is back! Join us to celebrate the diversity of foods and cultures that you can find at Fenner, and get ready for some extreme yumminess!
What is the role of Zero emission vehicles (ZEV) in addressing climate change? What are the behavioural and policy related aspects that must be considered as we transition to ZEVs? Join us as researchers from UC Davis explore pathways to ZEV adoption and carbon neutrality from lessons learned in California.
This workshop offers structural techniques to create a clear narrative and argument for the thesis.
