Calling for nature-based solutions!
The role of urban ecosystems and their benefits have been widely recognized by the scientific community and are now integrated in the KMGBF. However, there is still a lack of international instruments to support the implementation of related strategies, which could provide political and financial traction on the improvement of urban biodiversity. “Action does not happen by itself. It takes will, it takes courage, it takes careful planning.” Kobie Brand, Global Director, ICLEI Cities Biodiversity Center.
