Great time speaking at the #IBA2025 on nature-related financial disclosures.
For nature markets to be credible and avoid green-washing, we have to solve the Measurement, Reporting, and Verification problem and make reliable nature data a public good.

A schematical graphic shows an umbrella shading darkness from a street lamp. On the umbrella there are nocturnal animals for whom regulations to protect the dark exist (e.g. bats, marine turtles, insects) while under the umbrella many other animals are also protected from artificial light at night (ALAN).

🧵 REVEALED: Community energy projects in Scotland are generating 100x more local wealth than privately-owned wind farms.

But just 0.5% of the renewable power is community-owned. Why this staggering imbalance?

Evidence-based urban greening: a missing piece in biodiversity conservation With calls for increased greenery in cities to safeguard biodiversity and its associated benefits to humans, urban vegetation must be managed carefully and efficiently. It is time to change paths from current spurious attempts to manufacture resilience and instead usher in evidence-based urban greening to secure ecosystems for the future.

Deep Sea Crucial to Our Lives, Study Shows - Our World A comprehensive new paper aims to explain to a broad audience the valuable functions and processes provided by the deep sea to humans, including carbon sequestration.

Happy #DeepDay. The deep sea seems so far away and yet we are more connected to it than we think.

I consider myself very lucky that my work allows me to go to and study this amazing ecosystem.

Not stored in vaults like in Svalbard or Wakehurst Place but alive in our laneways, verges, windowsills.
