Ma described an approach he and colleagues biodiversity and ecosystem services into policy and developed for regional scalable priorities for national finance; and natural capital will play a unique role in biodiversity conservation planning in Asia. Analyzing data, national park system building, urban sustainability, and mostly from IUCN, for multiscale priorities for biodiversity investment transformation for nature.

Wild bees are the primary food production in 10 years while mitigating climate pollinators in many natural and cultivated ecosystems, change, conserving biodiversity, and alleviating rural and are important for food security.

She explained soil biodiversity is affected by a positive trend is that both farmers and governors poor land management and climate change, that can recognize biodiversity and ecosystem functions are result in loss of soil ecosystem functioning and service helpful in food production. provision (e.g., water infiltration, regulation of pests and pathogens, erosion control, nutrient release)

Ongoing advances in sequencing technologies and analytic approaches are showing how microbes underpin health homeostasis and can create global public health impacts, including COVID-19. In determining why infectious diseases emerge and re-emerge, factors include climate and ecological change, as well as population mobility.

Of 135 biodiversity assessments conducted biodiversity, including forest landscape restoration for between 2006 and 2015, 63 percent used the WorldClim climate change mitigation, carbon sequestration and dataset.23 Dr. Winkler said opportunities for international biodiversity, how climatic change influences species cooperation include the development of biologically distributions, and climate scenario development and relevant, readily available, easy-to-use climate datasets evaluation.

He concurred Indirect impacts, such as food consumption, have a that protecting urban biodiversity is crucial to stem greater impact on biodiversity than direct effects. The biodiversity loss, especially with 60 percent of the world agricultural land to support cities is 36 times larger than population in urban areas.

The third is concrete ideas, such as identifying priority research more policy oriented: Given the unknown impacts of areas and collaboration between CAS and the National climate change on species distribution, how can we use Academies. He urged conveying highlights of the climate change models, as well as uncertainty bands, workshop to a larger audience, as well as more detailed to inform policy and especially the siting of protected summaries of the presentations in the five panels.
