bioDISCOVERY

bioDISCOVERY fos­ters col­lab­o­ra­tive in­ter­dis­ci­pli­nary ac­tiv­i­ties on bio­di­ver­si­ty and ecosys­tem sci­ence. It ad­vances the use of ob­ser­va­tions, in­di­ca­tors and sce­nar­ios to sup­port pol­i­cy and de­ci­sion-mak­ing for in­formed glob­al en­vi­ron­men­tal man­age­ment.




URPP Global Change and Biodiversity

The URPP Glob­al Change and Bio­di­ver­si­ty aims to im­prove ca­pa­bil­i­ty to pre­dict the con­se­quences of changes in dri­vers that aid im­proved pre­dic­tion of the state of the en­vi­ron­ment. In its re­search ac­tiv­i­ties, it us­es a lat­i­tu­di­nal gra­di­ent ap­proach based on in­ter­ac­tions, feed­back and scale more re­li­able and ro­bust knowl­edge about glob­al change process­es.
