My proposed research aims to supplement existing sparse economics researchon the "social" element of the climate-nature-social nexus and investigate thedistributional and equity issues of current and future supply and demand formarine and coastal biodiversity and ecosystem servicesprovided by natural capital and how they affect the effectiveness of biodiversityinterventions. That is, who benefits and loses from ecosystem services (i.e.nature's supply), what is the level of committed and future public and privateinvestment in nature required to reverse biodiversity loss(i.e. demand for nature), and how the distribution of beneficiaries might affectthe effectiveness of biodiversity interventions and vice versa, with a strongemphasis put on equity issues.The analysis will focus on the coastal and marine UK habitats and, as aminimum, will include ecosystem services identified as most valuable to humanwellbeing, such as recreation, food provisioning and carbon sequestration.Thestudy will address four key gaps in the existing evidence base: 1) limitedassessment of distribution of beneficiaries of marine and coastal ecosystemservices 2) lack of complexity of existing distributional analyses 3) (marine)biodiversity remaining peripheral to economic systemsand 4) insufficient account of biodiversity's societal value in economicsresearch.Tentatively, I expect that the research will assess the types of economic agentsincurring marine and coastal ecosystem benefits in their full complexity andimprove future considerations of redistribution of marine ecosystem servicesand biodiversity benefits leading to a further inclusion and just nature transition.

我提出的研究旨在补充现有关于气候-自然-社会关系的“社会”要素的稀疏经济学研究，并调查自然资本提供的海洋和沿海生物多样性和生态系统服务当前和未来供需的分配和公平问题及其影响生物多样性干预措施的有效性。也就是说，谁从生态系统服务（即自然的供应）中受益和受损，扭转生物多样性丧失所需的承诺和未来公共和私人对自然的投资水平是多少（即对自然的需求），以及受益人的分布如何影响有效性生物多样性干预措施的影响，反之亦然，并重点强调公平问题。该分析将重点关注英国沿海和海洋栖息地，并至少包括被认为对生物多样性最有价值的生态系统服务。人类福祉，例如娱乐、食品供应和碳封存。该研究将解决现有证据基础中的四个关键差距：1）对海洋和沿海生态系统服务受益人分布的有限评估2）现有分布分析缺乏复杂性3）（海洋）生物多样性仍处于经济系统的外围；4）经济学研究中对生物多样性的社会价值的考虑不足。我预计该研究将评估生物多样性的类型海洋和沿海生态系统惠益的经济主体的复杂性，并改进未来对海洋生态系统服务和生物多样性惠益重新分配的考虑，从而导致进一步的包容性和公正的自然转型。
