Nick Paling

Director of Data & Governance @Bioregional Learning Centre

Devon, GB

Coordinate and lead the use of data, evidence and systems thinking to support the Bioregional Learning Centre’s mission to foster resilience, vitality and adaptation in South Devon and beyond. My work involves designing robust processes for data collection, analysis and interpretation to understand our bioregion and assess its ability to adapt and evolve in the face of complex challenges. I facilitate a collaborative, action learning approach that integrates civil society, policymakers and experts in building bioregional resilience, particularly through climate adaptation strategy development. I am committed to advancing inclusive and distributed forms of bioregional governance, combining research, thought leadership and practice to bring these concepts to life both locally and globally. Alongside this, I support colleagues in developing new initiatives from early-stage ideas to funded projects, ensuring that the knowledge, learning and creativity generated within the Bioregional Learning Centre have meaningful and lasting impact.
