Patrick Roehrdanz
Director, Climate Change and Biodiversity
Patrick R. Roehrdanz is director of climate change and biodiversity in Conservation International's Moore Center for Science, where he examines how to effectively conserve the world’s biodiversity as species and ecosystems respond to a changing climate.

Patrick’s work focuses on integrated spatial planning, which considers projections of climate change and land use to inform decision making for conservation alongside productive and mixed-use landscapes. Patrick also has expertise in biodiversity informatics, biogeography, ecosystem services modeling and climate change vulnerability assessments. He serves as the co-lead for the biodiversity hub of the Science Based Targets Network, a group of organizations working to shape private sector impacts on nature by using science-based targets.

Patrick holds degrees in environmental science and management from the University of California, Santa Barbara and geology from Carleton College.
