Nadia Ameli Nadia Ameli is an experienced researcher on economic, finance and policy aspects of climate change and related energy issues. Her research investigates questions related to financial barriers of low-carbon investments. She completed her PhD in Business Administration at the Polytechnic University of Marche (Ancona, Italy) and University of California (Berkeley, USA) with a focus on energy financing policy. She is a principal researcher fellow with a proleptic academic appointment at the UCL Institute for Sustainable Resources (UCL ISR). She joined UCL ISR in 2016 to lead the finance work of two EU Horizon2020 projects, entitled GREEN-WIN and RIPPLES. Both projects explore the crosscutting role of finance in overcoming barriers to climate adaptation, mitigation and sustainability action with a particular emphasis on exploring avenues for integrating climate public policies with mainstream finance framework and system. While at UC Berkeley together with Prof. Daniel Kammen, she explored an innovative approach, namely the Property Assessed Clean Energy, to link private funding to public financing mechanisms to facilitate access and affordability of low-carbon projects. Demonstrating the novelty of this scheme, PACE was awarded #1 World Changing Idea of 2009 by Scientific American. She is also bringing research insights into policymaking and practical experience to bear upon academic studies. Within the "Two Degrees Investing Initiative", she has co-organised two workshops on climate finance and has supported the research work at several international public policy organisations, including the OECD, the European Commission and the Global Green Growth Institute. |

Anne Magurran Anne Magurran’s research interests focus on biological diversity – its measurement, evolution, maintenance and conservation. Ever since her PhD on Irish woodlands at the University of Ulster, she has been interested in how to measure biological diversity as shown by her most recent book on the topic "Biological Diversity: Frontiers in Measurement and Assessment". Her ERC grant BioTIME was concerned with how biological diversity is changing over time. It addressed this question in two ways: by compiling the BioTIME database (biotime.st-andrews.ac.uk) of ecological assemblage time series, that is assemblages around the world that have been monitored over a number of years using the same methodology; and through field work to quantify biodiversity change in freshwater ecosystems in the Caribbean island of Trinidad. The BioTIME database, which now contains data from over 600,000 localities across the Earth, is showing that the world’s ecosystems are being restructured at rates that exceed the predictions of the best ecological theory we have. These findings are mirrored in the detailed field surveys of tropical rivers. Together they alert researchers to the rapid compositional reorganisation occurring in ecosystems and highlight fundamental and applied challenges for biodiversity scientists. Thanks to her ERC Proof of Concept grant BioChange, the BioTIME database is now open access and free to anyone, anywhere in the world, to use for research, education or conservation. |
