Date Published: 14.02.2025
Wadham Fellow and Professor of Biodiversity discusses biodiversity, nature-based solutions, climate change & more.
In this video for Wadham's YouTube Channel, Professor Nathalie Seddon dispels misconceptions about nature-based solutions, explains why caring for the environment goes beyond measuring carbon, and discusses structural problems at the financial and governance levels that hold progress back.
Nathalie is Founding Director of the Nature-based Solutions Initiative in the Departments of Biology and Geography (Smith School for Enterprise and the Environment) at the University of Oxford. She is also Director of the Agile Initiative, member of the leadership team of the Leverhulme Centre for Nature Recovery, and is a Senior Research Fellow at Wadham College.
In the interview, Nathalie also shares exciting new research emerging from the Nature-based Solutions Initiative, including a global case study of best practice nature-based solutions, technologies for scaling up nature-based solutions, research on landscapes with agricultural land-use dominated by coffee or cocoa production, and the economic benefits of nature-based solutions.
