Archaeology, the Global Biodiversity Framework, and Climate Change: Contributing to the Nature Action Agenda

Controlling climate change, increasing biodiversity, and sustainably managing land use for both people and planet are international and national priorities. On a personal level, too, many of us would like to contribute to the Nature Action Agenda. But what roles can archaeological, palaeoecological, and heritage research have in building a green future? In this informal lunchtime talk, Karen Milek will discuss the direction of travel in nature-action archaeology, and the new possibilities emerging from the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and the UKRI’s ‘Transforming Tomorrow Together’ strategy. Come along to find out more about how archaeological research and heritage management can contribute to the local and national policies needed to drive transformational, nature-positive change.

All are welcome. Feel free to bring along your lunch. We may change rooms if interest exceeds the capacity of room D210, so please let us know that you wish to attend in person by signing up on Eventbrite here:
