Can biodiversity maintenance and restoration support a just transition? An assessment of the link between the socioeconomic distribution of marine and

我提出的研究旨在补充现有的稀疏经济学研究的“社会”因素的气候-自然-社会关系和调查的分配和公平问题的当前和未来的供应和需求的海洋和沿海生物多样性和生态系统服务提供的自然资本，以及它们如何影响生物多样性干预的有效性。也就是说，谁从生态系统服务中受益，谁从生态系统服务中受损（即自然的供应），扭转生物多样性丧失所需的承诺和未来公共和私人投资水平是多少（即对自然的需求），以及受益者的分布如何影响生物多样性干预措施的有效性，反之亦然，重点放在公平问题上。分析将侧重于英国沿海和海洋栖息地，最低限度将包括对人类福祉最有价值的生态系统服务，如娱乐，该研究将解决现有证据基础中的四个关键差距：（1）对海洋和沿海生态系统服务受益者分布的评估有限;（2）现有分布分析缺乏复杂性;（3）（海洋）生物多样性仍然处于经济系统的外围;（4）在经济研究中对生物多样性的社会价值考虑不足。我希望这项研究将评估在其全部复杂性中产生海洋和沿海生态系统效益的经济主体的类型，并改善未来对海洋生态系统服务和生物多样性效益重新分配的考虑，从而进一步包容和公正的自然过渡。

My proposed research aims to supplement existing sparse economics researchon the "social" element of the climate-nature-social nexus and investigate thedistributional and equity issues of current and future supply and demand formarine and coastal biodiversity and ecosystem servicesprovided by natural capital and how they affect the effectiveness of biodiversityinterventions. That is, who benefits and loses from ecosystem services (i.e.nature's supply), what is the level of committed and future public and privateinvestment in nature required to reverse biodiversity loss(i.e. demand for nature), and how the distribution of beneficiaries might affectthe effectiveness of biodiversity interventions and vice versa, with a strongemphasis put on equity issues.The analysis will focus on the coastal and marine UK habitats and, as aminimum, will include ecosystem services identified as most valuable to humanwellbeing, such as recreation, food provisioning and carbon sequestration.Thestudy will address four key gaps in the existing evidence base: 1) limitedassessment of distribution of beneficiaries of marine and coastal ecosystemservices 2) lack of complexity of existing distributional analyses 3) (marine)biodiversity remaining peripheral to economic systemsand 4) insufficient account of biodiversity's societal value in economicsresearch.Tentatively, I expect that the research will assess the types of economic agentsincurring marine and coastal ecosystem benefits in their full complexity andimprove future considerations of redistribution of marine ecosystem servicesand biodiversity benefits leading to a further inclusion and just nature transition.
