Yet another proud moment for me as a PhD supervisor in the @noveleco.bsky.social team! Here is the latest from Dr. Natalia Rodriguez Castañeda. One-Planetary-Health: Reflections on Urban Novel Ecosystems in Bogotá and Copenhagen seeingthewoods.org/2025/12/18/o... #novelecosystems #onehealth

Global Survey on Citizen Action & Nature The people who shape the future of nature aren’t only politicians, they’re citizens, neighbours, activists, educators, volunteers… you. This is your chance to tell policymakers what your community really needs. ake the survey before Jan 15: buff.ly/5EGFVUC

Talking to ecology students in Trinity College, I spoke of the need for creativity and collaboration in the great nature restoration challenge. It will be resource hungry; human and financial and the state needs to lead by example. Míle buíochas @marcuscollier.bsky.social as an cuireadh.

Britain may be 0, but Ireland is barely a shade better as one of the 10 countries with the lowest connection to nature. It's about time we get together and sort this out. Great paper by Myles Richardson @findingnature.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Wonderful new paper from our amazing Dr. Melissa Pineda-Pinto and the NovelEco team: Realizing #multispeciesjustice through a capability approach to promote #naturebasedsolutions. www.nature.com/articles/s42...

🌱 We argue for the untapped potential of novel ecologies as crucial sites for just a d biodiverse urban futures.

🌱 Our findings highlight how recognizing more-than-hunan agencies can help identify vulnerabilities and opportunities for multispecies flourishing in urban settings.

🌱 We use the Capability Approach as a bridge between these frameworks, tested through embodied place-based workshops in novel urban ecologies.

🌱🌱🌱 New Publication 🌱🌱🌱 I'm proud to be a co-author on a paper exploring how multispecies justice can be meaningfully integrated into nature-based solutions in cities. www.nature.com/articles/s42...

📣📣 New paper alert 📣📣 on the why, how and whom of co-creation for urban governance 🙌

It has taken several years to get this paper published, but finally, thanks to our fantastic lead author, Prof. @nfrantzeskaki.bsky.social, here it is! 'Premises, practices and politics of co-creation for urban sustainability transitions.' urbantransformations.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....
