ARD - Das Erste, "Wissen vor 8. - Natur"

Given the drastic decline of media responses after the publication of the Global Assessment of IPBES in Mai 2019, IPBES and IPCC authors approached ARD and suggested to strengthen reporting on transformative change to fight the biodiversity and climate crisis. Finally we were invited to consult within the new series of „Wissen-vor-8“ on various topics such as zoonoses, agricultural monocultures, invasive species, climate change in the arctic.

Atlas of Ecosystem Services Atlas of Ecosystem Services: Drivers, Risks, and Societal Responses.

Schröter, M., A. Bonn, S. Klotz, R. Seppelt, C. Baessler (eds., 2019). Springer, New York, 414 pages.

The “Atlas of Ecosystem Services“ contains 60 succinct chapters which deliver a comprehensive overview on the risks to sustained provision of ecosystem services. More than 260 authors, among them UFZ colleagues form 16 departments, have contributed to the book. Global and regional case studies shed light on the impacts of land use change, climate change and socio-economic drivers on ecosystem services, and their related (land use) conflicts. Furthermore, policy instruments and management options to address these risks are presented
