Biodiversity is being lost at an unprecedented and accelerating rate. A pressing issue is how to improve the effectiveness of conservation with limited information and resources available. We develop a Bayes-adaptive POMDP framework to optimize the learning and management of threatened species...

Biological invasions cause multi-trillion-dollar impacts worldwide. However, the development of approaches to predict drivers and magnitudes of economic costs remain limited. The use of fitness-relevant traits offers a promising, yet neglected, avenue to close this gap. Certain traits acquired...

Biodiversity contributes to the provision of numerous ecosystem services. Several studies have econometrically measured the impact of crop biodiversity using observational data to assess the "productive value" of biodiversity for agriculture. We propose the first meta-analysis of this...

The Dasgupta Review takes a global perspective. Biodiversity varies geographically, and the success of biodiversity actions is sensitive to national institutional and socio-ecological conditions. Therefore, the implementation of the options for change (OCs) suggested by the Review calls for a...

The climate and biodiversity emergencies require structural economic shifts that will necessitate strategic coordination between macroeconomic policy authorities. The Covid-19 episode saw the implementation of monetary-fiscal policy coordination not seen since the 1970s to avert catastrophic...
