Disaggregating and modelling the impacts of land-use change on biodiversity. This project aims to systematically analyse contemporary and historical data on agriculture, energy use and urbanisation, to identify the consumption and technology pathways that can most effectively mitigate the future extent and impact of land-use change. This synthesis is expected to develop new forecasting and optimisation tools using an innovative hierarchical meta-modelling approach. A key outcome would be to resolve inherent global and national trade-offs between ongoing human development and the competing need to conserve habitats, ecosystems, and species.Read moreRead less
