The CCSF was pleased to host its second online seminar on Tuesday, 26th October 2021. Four CCSF scholars gave thrilling talks on their research contributing to practical ways towards global environmental sustainability.
Dr Sandra Angers-Blondin (CCSF 2015 & 17), Liverpool John Moores University gave a fascinating talk on “Mapping Britain’s Natural Capital”, emphasising net gains for biodiversity that can be achieved when local areas are mapped using available datasets. Cambridge doctoral student, Freedom-Kai Phillips (CCSF 2020), talked about the role of the private sector in advancing sustainable development, provided illustrations of how “Market Mechanisms Under the Biodiversity and Climate Frameworks” can achieve good results. Dr Emilie Beauchamp (CCSF 2015), who works with iied (International Institute for Environment and Development), spoke in her talk “Devolved Climate Finance” on the importance of giving priority to locally-led adaptations to climate change and ensuring that the voices of vulnerable communities are heard. Carley-Jane Stanton (CCSF 2020), doctoral student at the University of Oxford, discussed what “Mushroom Pickers Tell Us About Hitting Canada’s Climate Targets”, explaining how an Indigenous governance initiative introducing permits for settler pickers aims to sustain the environment (this video not yet available).
