Our expertise

Here at Little Blue Research, we have started to post insights and some useful statistics that help to promote or suggest actions on sustainability. In this article, Little Blue Research’s founder Dr Stephanie Hime focuses on oceans. 

IEMA's Leslie Wilson and Little Blue Research's Dr Stephanie Hime discuss the importance of having a day dedicated to nature at UN's Conference of the Parties (COP) 28 climate conference in Dubai.

The blog highlights society's reliance on nature to sequester carbon and tackle climate change, how climate change is leading to losses in natural capital and associated ecosystem services, and how nature-related risks have been linked to climate in recent private-sector initiatives.

Little Blue Research's Dr Stephanie Hime joins Katherine Lewis on the Trowers Podcast for a three-part series exploring the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) Risk and Opportunities Framework.

Throughout the series, Stephanie Hime provides an introduction to the framework, discusses how businesses can benefit the framework, and sets out how the TNFD framework interacts with other global reporting standards.

With the final draft of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) Framework set for release in September 2023, we have been looking at how businesses can get started with applying the framework and the practical steps to take to start understanding nature related risks and opportunities, including our experiences of piloting the LEAP (Locate, Evaluate, Assess, Prepare) approach. 

In this blog, in collaboration with Crop Health & Protection - CHAP, Stephanie Hime and Ryan Twyford look specifically at the farming and agriculture sector and how the growing awareness of nature loss, and the mechanisms hoping to address this decline, will affect a sector so heavily intertwined with nature.

Looking at the resources, tools and roadmaps available for UK agri-business, the blog provides a starting point for actions the agricultural sector can take to set and meet sustainability targets, support the UK’s nature positive commitment and respond to requests for nature-related information.

Read more about the food and agriculture sector, the challenges it faces, and how these challenges can be addressed, as well as sector's main impacts and dependencies on nature.
