Global commitments to conserving and monitoring genetic diversity are now necessary and feasible
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/113860
Abstract
Global conservation policy and action have largely neglected protecting and monitoring genetic diversity—one of the three main pillars of biodiversity. Genetic diversity (diversity within species) underlies species’ adaptation and survival, ecosystem resilience, and societal innovation. The low priority given to genetic diversity has largely been due to knowledge gaps in key areas, including…

Climate, food (in)security and conflict in the Bangladesh delta: Myths and puzzles
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/149164
Abstract
Bangladesh is customarily presented as a poster child for climate change and conflict given its dense population and susceptibility to climate variability. This vulnerability exacerbates existing challenges such as food insecurity and conflict potential. Crises like pandemics and conflicts are external drivers stressing already compromised domestic governance, such as violent politics, poor rule of law, and…

Abstract
Enabling data reuse and knowledge discovery is increasingly critical in modern science, andrequires an effort towards standardising data publication practices. This is particularly chal-lenging in the plant phenotyping domain, due to its complexity and heterogeneity. We have produced the MIAPPE 1.1 release, which enhances the existing MIAPPE standardin…

The island where climate change is not the biggest worry: Hatiya Island, Bangladesh
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/180131
Abstract
This carousel challenges common assumptions about climate vulnerability through the example of Hatiya Island in Bangladesh. Despite frequent flooding, cyclones, and crop losses, local residents identified debt, rising food prices, and failing health and education systems as their greatest concerns. The story shows that climate shocks rarely act alone and that underlying economic and social pressures shape…

How does a network of Colombian interethnic women foster resilience to climate change and contribute to gender equality?
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/140486
Abstract
Despite the growing demand for improved intersectional integration of gender in agricultural policies (McDougall et al., 2022), the integration of gender and intersectionality (G&I) considerations into climate change (CC) policy cycles in Latin America has been overlooked. Climate and gender policies are generally formulated with a top-down approach without…
