Using OPAL surveys to explore the effects of urbanisation on invertebrate biodiversity in the UK
Learn about how a nation-wide survey and citizen science approaches can be used to better understand the relationship between urbanisation, vegetation and invertebrate diversity through the lens of the Bugs Count survey implemented in the UK.
Using OPAL surveys to assess local water quality in the UK
Discover how the OPAL Water Survey investigated water quality across the UK and learn about what invertebrate indicator species can tell us about pollution levels in water bodies. This approach can be used to investigate potential influences of urban areas on water quality and thus resilience to environmental changes.
Using EWI to strengthen gender dimensions in Asutifi North District WASH master plan, Ghana
Learn about how the Empowerment in WASH Index tool was piloted in Asutifi North District in Ghana, and about the resulting recommendations, at district, community, and national levels, for strengthening the empowerment of women in WASH.
