URBAN CLIMATE GOVERNANCE AND THE UNEVENNESS OF CITY NETWORKS: The Trajectory and Perspectives of the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy in Chile

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Scholars have widely discussed integrating local administrations into climate governance networks, focusing on networks such as the Global Covenant of Mayors or C40, whose members are mostly in the European Union or countries of the global North and premium cities managed by engaged administrations. Relatively little is known about urban‐scale

Advancing conservation breeding programs for marine invertebrates

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In the face of ecosystem change and biodiversity loss caused by climate change and other stressors, conservation breeding, or captive breeding, with the aim of reintroduction for wild population recovery, is an emerging tool for preventing species’ extinction and rehabilitating ecosystems.

Identifying the exposure of taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity of steppe birds to renewable energy development

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity is globally threatened by human impacts, including land‐use transformation and climate change, which has prompted a rapid transition from fossil fuels to cleaner energy sources, such as photovoltaic (PV) energy. However, utility‐scale PV plants require vast areas and can lead to conflicts with biodiversity conservation, making ...

Evaluating the protection status and exposure to warming of Caribbean reefs with high functional potential

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Over the past decades, climate change has emerged as a major threat to global biodiversity, negatively affecting the integrity and functioning of ecosystems and the benefits they provide to people. To mitigate these impacts, it is essential to identify climate refugia that support the persistence of the structure and function of reef ...
