An integrated climate-biodiversity framework to improve planning ... ecologyandsociety.org 13 facts
claimLocal and urban agriculture can support climate action and biodiversity conservation by reducing food imports.
procedureThe study by Newell, Dale, and Lister (2022) was conducted in two stages: first, developing an analytical framework for examining issues in the context of climate action and biodiversity conservation co-benefits and trade-offs; second, applying the framework to wildlife crossing and landscape connectivity issues to elucidate opportunities and challenges.
claimAn integrated approach to biodiversity conservation requires a holistic understanding of different habitats and their various functions for supporting both climate action and biodiversity.
referenceThe 'Safe Passage' research project focused on wildlife crossings, and its participant selection was limited to professionals working in transportation infrastructure, landscape connectivity, parks and protected areas, biodiversity conservation, and planning.
claimThe authors of the study developed the Integrated Climate-Biodiversity Framework (ICBF) based on the assumption that biodiversity conservation and climate action are necessary for the well-being of humans and the environment.
quoteTraditional biodiversity conservation was historically focused on simply ensuring that there is 'green stuff in the landscape', but current approaches are shifting toward recognizing the functions within green spaces and the impacts of fragmenting those spaces.
referenceNewell, Dale, and Lister (2022) developed an integrated climate-biodiversity framework (ICBF) to examine planning and policy areas in the context of climate action and biodiversity conservation.
claimThe integrated climate-biodiversity framework (ICBF) was developed by the authors based on a review of select literature regarding climate action and biodiversity conservation co-benefits and trade-offs.
referenceMawdsley, O’Malley, and Ojima (2009) review climate-change adaptation strategies for wildlife management and biodiversity conservation in Conservation Biology.
claimWildlife crossing practices in North America prioritize human safety and traffic flow over biodiversity conservation and ecosystem integrity.
claimApplying the integrated climate-biodiversity framework (ICBF) to participant interview data revealed that alignments between stormwater management and aquatic crossings represent co-benefits for climate action and biodiversity conservation.
claimApplying the integrated climate-biodiversity framework (ICBF) to participant interview data revealed that energy development and habitat fragmentation represent trade-offs between climate action and biodiversity conservation.
procedureThe study conducted by the authors involved two stages: (1) developing an analytical framework for examining climate action and biodiversity conservation co-benefits and trade-offs, and (2) applying this framework to wildlife crossing challenges to identify opportunities and challenges for integrated planning and policy.
Practitioners' perceived risks to biodiversity from renewable energy ... nature.com Feb 27, 2025 9 facts
claimUnderstanding the perceptions of practitioners regarding biodiversity impacts from Large-Scale Wind and Solar (LSWS) projects helps identify risks and opportunities for balancing renewable energy deployment with biodiversity conservation.
claimPractitioners' perceptions of net-negative impacts from wind energy on animals transgress administrative boundaries, indicating a widespread concern that the expansion of renewables may undermine biodiversity conservation efforts.
claimNature Reviews Biodiversity (2025) asserts that the trade-offs between the necessary transition to renewable energy and biodiversity conservation can be overcome.
procedureThe researchers identified keywords related to LSWS and biodiversity, including biodiversity conservation, photovoltaic solar energy project planning, electricity grid management, and native ecosystems, to use as structured search terms for identifying practitioners.
referenceSantangeli et al. (2016) identified global synergies and trade-offs between renewable energy deployment and biodiversity conservation.
referenceTscharntke et al. (2012) analyzed the intersection of global food security, biodiversity conservation, and the future of agricultural intensification.
measurementA survey of 116 professionals working at the intersection of large-scale wind and solar energy (LSWS) and biodiversity protection in the United States found that practitioners perceive LSWS to impact biodiversity negatively, but less so than other land-cover change drivers such as fossil fuels and agriculture.
measurementAt least one-third of surveyed practitioners believe that Large-Scale Wind and Solar (LSWS) development and biodiversity conservation can be balanced, such as through achieving a net-neutral impact on biodiversity.
claimRenewable energy expansion (SDG 7.2) presents a core tension because while it is considered an essential lever aiding biodiversity conservation (SDG 15.1), developing large-scale wind and solar (LSWS) can also directly contribute to biodiversity loss.
