Tropical forests to 2050 : with Professor Oliver Phillips

Thursday, March 10 2022

science challenges for researchers and policy-makers" with Professor Oliver Phillips, University of Leeds
Thursday 10 Mar, 5pm – 6pm GMT
Understanding the dynamics of carbon and biodiversity across the world’s tropical forests and how these change with our changing climate requires global teamwork and a multidisciplinary approach. But how can researchers and policymakers work together to monitor and develop the forests impact on slowing, or speeding up, the rate of global climate change. Join Professor Oliver Phillips, Professor of Tropical Ecology at the University of Leeds, as he discusses with Professor Yadvinder Malhi, Professor of Ecosystem Science, the challenges and solutions of greater scientific capacity and vital on-the-ground evidence to understand how forests interact with climate change.

Post COP26: successes, lessons learnt & what do we need to do now?
https://www.oxfordmartin.ox.ac.uk/event-series/post-cop26/
On the 13th November 2021 Cop26 reached a consensus on key actions to address climate change. The decisions consist of a range of agreed items, including strengthened efforts to build resilience to climate change, to curb greenhouse gas emissions and to provide the necessary finance for both. In this short series we will look at what this means, after the dust settles, for sustainable finance, tropical forests, modelling the climate and with a panel looking towards future Cop meetings.
