Rebecca Noebel works as a Researcher at Ecologic Institute Berlin. Her work focuses on the loss of biological diversity and the relevant policy frameworks. She is particularly interested in underlying drivers such as land use and climate change as well as the options to reduce the effects through nature-based solutions, green infrastructure and ecosystem-based adaptation. She works in German, English and Spanish.
Rebecca's work at Ecologic Institute primarily focuses on current European biodiversity processes. Within the framework of the European Topic Centre on Biodiversity (ETC-BD) she supports the targets of the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030. In this context, she worked on the assessments under the EU Nature Directives reporting for the "State of Nature in Europe 2020" and the redesign of the Biodiversity Information System for Europe (BISE), e.g. by drafting the digital Protected Area Report for Europe. Currently, she focuses on the ETC-BD's work related to the Trans-European Nature Network as well as to ecosystem restoration activities. Additionally, she analyses the implementation of EU species protection rules in the agricultural and forestry sectors as part of a project for the European Commission (DG Environment).
Prior to joining Ecologic Institute, Rebecca Noebel worked as a research scientist at the Institute of Environmental Science and Geography of Potsdam University (Germany). There, she conducted research on quantitative relationships between temperature and urban land cover. For the European ECOPOTENTIAL project she studied the impacts of climate change on European protected areas and ecosystems, as well as their relation to biodiversity monitoring on the local and European levels. From 2013 to 2015, she worked for the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and supported the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) with the implementation of the International Climate Initiative (IKI) in the area of biodiversity, adaptation and REDD+. She continued working as a consultant the GIZ until 2018.
Rebecca Noebel completed her Master of Science in Geoecology at the University of Potsdam with a spatial analysis on the effectiveness of the FSC certification in the Russian boreal forest for the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). For her Bachelor of Science, she studied Environmental Science at the Leuphana University in Lüneburg (Germany), during which she participated in a DAAD scholarship on biodiversity in Lima (Peru).
