David Cooper · Oxford Martin School and Leverhulme Centre for Nature Recovery, University of Oxford; Joint Nature Conservation Committee; China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development
David Cooper assesses progress towards the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework’s 2030 targets and 2050 goals. He explains why biodiversity matters for human security and wellbeing, drawing on recent assessments of conditions in the UK and globally. The lecture considers prospects for recovery and argues that conservation efforts need complementary changes across economic sectors and society to address biodiversity loss and support people and nature together.
