世界各国政府正在制定雄心勃勃的海上可再生能源发展目标。然而,部署受到缺乏对ORD环境后果的理解的限制,对受保护鸟类的影响形成了一个关键的环境挑战。评估ORD对海洋鸟类的影响具有挑战性,利用相互关联的方法来了解复杂的行为,能量和人口过程。因此,有相当大的不确定性与海洋鸟类的ORD评估,与目前的方法未能量化的不确定性,在科学上可靠的,以证据为基础的方式。这导致了高度的谨慎和对用于告知难民署同意决定的证据缺乏信心。我们审查的方法来估计在英国,一个国家在最前沿的Ord.We确定领域的不确定性量化,可以通过统计建模,数据收集,或适应的评估过程中的鸟类的ORD的影响。我们开发了一个端到端量化不确定性的框架,整合了评估过程各个阶段的不确定性估计。最后,我们提供了研究建议,以更好地量化和减少不确定性,以降低未来的ORD同意风险。这些建议不仅适用于联合王国,而且可以改善具有不同立法框架的其他国家的影响评估。
Governments worldwide are setting ambitious targets for offshore renewable energy development (ORD). However, deployment is constrained by a lack of understanding of the environmental consequences of ORD, with impacts on protected birds forming a key environmental consenting challenge. Assessing the impacts of ORD on marine birds is challenging, utilizing interlinked approaches to understand complex behavioural, energetic, and demographic processes. Consequently, there is considerable uncertainty associated with ORD assessments for marine birds, with current methods failing to quantify uncertainty in a scientifically robust, evidence-based manner. This leads to a high degree of precaution and a lack of confidence in the evidence used to inform ORD consenting decisions. We review the methods used to estimate ornithological ORD impacts in the UK, a country at the forefront of ORD. We identify areas in which uncertainty quantification could be improved through statistical modelling, data collection, or adaptation of the assessment process. We develop a framework for end-to-end quantification of uncertainty, integrating uncertainty estimates from individual stages of the assessment process. Finally, we provide research recommendations to better quantify and reduce uncertainty, to lower future ORD consenting risk. These recommendations extend beyond the UK and could improve impact assessments in other countries with different legislative frameworks.
