workshop – Monday 19 February 2024
The workshop on Circular Economy and Biodiversity is presented in partnership with the The Québec Circular Economy Research Network (RRECQ). It will combine panel presentations from experts in the field and World Café discussions to identify potential synergies between networks, to unravel how biodiversity plays a key role in a circular economy model, and how a more circular economy can foster biodiversity conversation.
Detailed program coming soon.
Keynote Speaker – Tuesday 20 February 2024
Laura Pollock, McGill University
Associate professor, Montréal, Canada
Laura’s research in the Quantitative Biodiversity Lab focuses on improving our predictions of where biodiversity is located on the landscape and how biodiversity might change into the future. Laura has led the development of advanced statistical techniques to make these predictions across many species and phylogenetic clades at the same time. She also develops tools to set priorities for species and areas to conserve based on evolutionary and ecological information as well as the best available set of statistical models. These tools have been used from local to global scales for plants and animals nominating important and highly irreplaceable areas for protecting the world’s biodiversity.
