Evaluation of the Climate Change, Marine and Terrestrial Sustainable Development Goals in Island Biosphere Reserves

Student: 
Joaquim Antoni Pla Resina

The Biosphere Reserves are, according to UNESCO, special places for testing interdisciplinary approaches to understanding and managing changes and interactions between social and ecological systems. The study will focus in the Island Biosphere Reserves of the world, evaluating the state of 3 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals in them: Climate Change, Marine and Terrestrial goals. Those 17 goals are set by the UN to monitor sustainable development in the world until 2030. Eventually, the study will create a protocol for future evaluations.
