Seminar - Insights from the Biodiversity Revisited Initiative - Carina Wyborn - 12 November 2020

Decades of research and policy interventions have insufficiently addressed the dual issues of biodiversity degradation and social justice. With the persistence of major structural challenges that continue to threaten the biosphere and its human inhabitants, the Biodiversity Revisited Initiative asked whether or not the concept of ‘biodiversity’ itself – and the science and policy that surround it – are sufficiently compelling to halt the degradation of life on Earth. This seminar will present the process and findings of an intensive international collaborative process that engaged a diversity of cultures and disciplinary experts working in science, social science, policy, and conservation planning. The two-year Initiative critically reflected on the concepts, research, policies and practices underpinning biodiversity conservation, resulting in a research and action agenda that seeks to catalyse future work that contributes to sustaining just and diverse futures for life on Earth. The Initiative was coordinated by the Luc Hoffmann Institute, in collaboration with WWF, Future Earth, ETH Zürich Department of Environmental Systems Science, University of Cambridge Conservation Research Institute and the Centre for Biodiversity and Environment Research at University College London.
