Summary
Spatial planning for urban biodiversity conservation. This project will reduce the complexity of planning for biodiversity during urban development by enabling industry and government to visualise and measure the potential performance of different urban designs. This project expects to create a new open-access online tool to allow spatial planning of urban biodiversity conservation actions. Expected outcomes of this project include enhanced capacity for developers, environmental consultants and ....Spatial planning for urban biodiversity conservation. This project will reduce the complexity of planning for biodiversity during urban development by enabling industry and government to visualise and measure the potential performance of different urban designs. This project expects to create a new open-access online tool to allow spatial planning of urban biodiversity conservation actions. Expected outcomes of this project include enhanced capacity for developers, environmental consultants and local governments to measure potential urban biodiversity outcomes at a range of scales. This should provide significant benefits to human well-being by increasing the efficiency of urban nature conservation and restoration in cities.Read moreRead less

Summary
Nature-based solutions for the climate change-biodiversity nexus in cities. This project aims to advance knowledge of governance and implementation of nature-based solutions to address the climate change-biodiversity nexus in cities. Nature-based solutions offer multiple synergistic solutions for climate change and biodiversity, yet implementation is challenging due to complex governance and policy. The project will generate new knowledge of governance and policy, using transdisciplinary researc ....Nature-based solutions for the climate change-biodiversity nexus in cities. This project aims to advance knowledge of governance and implementation of nature-based solutions to address the climate change-biodiversity nexus in cities. Nature-based solutions offer multiple synergistic solutions for climate change and biodiversity, yet implementation is challenging due to complex governance and policy. The project will generate new knowledge of governance and policy, using transdisciplinary research. Outcomes include a framework for transformative governance, to support enhanced capacity for urgent, integrated action for the climate-biodiversity nexus. The project will deliver environmental and social benefits to Australia and internationally through new approaches to address these intersecting environmental crises.Read moreRead less
More than a reserve? Measuring the benefits of private protected areas. This project aims to develop a framework for understanding the full suite of benefits derived from privately protected areas in Australia. It will develop and test a new interdisciplinary approach to measure the ecological, socio-cultural, and economic benefits of protected areas to both human and non-human beneficiaries. Outcomes will include a systematic process to effectively gather data, analyse, and report on the full s ....More than a reserve? Measuring the benefits of private protected areas. This project aims to develop a framework for understanding the full suite of benefits derived from privately protected areas in Australia. It will develop and test a new interdisciplinary approach to measure the ecological, socio-cultural, and economic benefits of protected areas to both human and non-human beneficiaries. Outcomes will include a systematic process to effectively gather data, analyse, and report on the full suite of benefits derived from protected areas. The framework will provide a robust evidence base for the range of benefits provided by private protected areas. This will be vital to manage and grow Australia’s protected area network to reduce biodiversity and environmental declines, and meet international commitments.Read moreRead less

Summary
Cities as transformative agents for a climate-safe future. This project aims to address how cities can transform towards a climate-safe future- achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 while also enhancing resilience to climate impacts. By reconceptualising cities as transformative agents, this project aims to generate ground-breaking theoretical and empirical knowledge on how cities evolve and transform, how they can network to enhance resilience to climate impacts, and what governance innovations ....Cities as transformative agents for a climate-safe future. This project aims to address how cities can transform towards a climate-safe future- achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 while also enhancing resilience to climate impacts. By reconceptualising cities as transformative agents, this project aims to generate ground-breaking theoretical and empirical knowledge on how cities evolve and transform, how they can network to enhance resilience to climate impacts, and what governance innovations can set them onto accelerated pathways towards a climate-safe future. Aspired outcomes include advanced knowledge, new urban climate policy and practice, and a diverse pool of globally connected, next generation researchers, placing Australia at the forefront of integrative urban science and practice.
