Green Equals Green? The Divergent Policy Logics of Climate and Biodiversity Governance
Global Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Market‐based instruments (MBIs) are increasingly promoted in international biodiversity and climate governance. This article argues that biodiversity policy has distinct dynamics and complexities that require approaches beyond economic instruments. By analyzing key concepts such as ecosystem services, biodiversity offsets, and MBIs, this study

Drained Agricultural Peatlands as Persistent Carbon Sources: Implications for Carbon and Water Use Intensity in Food Production. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolPeatlands have the capacity to sequester large quantities of carbon and can therefore play an important role in climate change mitigation. However, anthropogenic activities alter their hydrological regimes, converting them from net CO2 sinks into net sources.

Navigating uncertainty in life cycle assessment‐based approaches to biodiversity footprinting
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract The use of life cycle assessment (LCA) methods is rapidly expanding as a means of estimating the biodiversity impacts of organisations across complex value chains. However, these methods have limitations and substantial uncertainties, which are rarely communicated in the results of LCAs.

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Ecosystem condition is an important concept for understanding the impacts and dependencies of business on biodiversity and consideration of it is recommended by assessment and disclosure frameworks, including the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, Taskforce on Nature‐related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) and Global Reporting ...

PLoS ONEMany habitat-specialist organisms occur in distinct, patchy habitat, yet do not occupy all patches, and an important question is why apparently suitable habitat remains unoccupied.

Recent land use and land cover pressures on Iberian peatlands
Ecological IndicatorsIberian peatlands have been severely affected by land use and land cover (LULC) changes. Despite these pressures, some peatlands persist in the region, although their susceptibility to LULC change remains poorly understood.

Sinking peatlands: Optimal control of subsidence
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Land subsidence threatens the living conditions of about 1.2 billion people worldwide in deltaic regions characterized by soft top soil. Economic activity in these areas requires lowering groundwater levels to keep the land sufficiently dry, which leaves future generations worse off by accelerating subsidence and increasing future costs.

Climate crisis and policy inaction in Indonesia
American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.Abstract We surveyed voters and politicians in advance of the 2024 Indonesian election to measure preferences for environmental policy. We find that politicians underestimate voter concerns. We conducted an informational experiment with politicians to correct these misperceptions, and we document evidence of learning but no greater support for policy ...

Mismatch Between Global Importance of Peatlands and the Extent of Their Protection
Conservation LettersGlobal peatlands store more carbon than all the world's forests biomass on just 3% of the planet's land surface. Failure to address mounting threats to peatland ecosystems will jeopardize critical climate targets and exacerbate biodiversity loss.
