Ashley Bang

Research Interests

A conservation scientist by training, I work with both the public and private sectors to shape nature positive and net zero futures. I am passionate about applying spatial and statistical data modelling techniques to address the nexus between climate, nature, and sustainable development. My current research looks at the trade-offs and benefits of joint climate and nature action in an urban context, particularly Hong Kong and the broader APAC region. I am also interested in the role that business and financial sectors play in supporting these transitions.

Prior to Oxford, I held a variety of roles in applied conservation and climate research across Hong Kong, Taiwan, the US, and UK. Most recently, I was as a Visiting Researcher at Oxford's Nature Positive Hub while leading applied conservation projects through her work with public and private sectors as Senior Principal Consultant at the Biodiversity Consultancy. I hold an undergraduate degree in Geology and Biology from Brown University a Master’s in Sustainability, Enterprise and the Environment from the University of Oxford, and am currently pursuing my DPhil as an Oxford-Croucher Scholar.
