Rethinking urban interventions to preserve and enhance biodiversity in cities can support mitigating the adverse effects of climate change and improve ecosystem health. In this webinar, experts reveal alternative views and ways of working with biodiversity and nature-based solutions.
A shift in architecture and design practices, as well as the exploration of nature-based solutions (NBS) to address different urban challenges, could mitigate the adverse effects of urbanization on biodiversity. However, how can the cities and businesses effectively support projects enhancing biodiversity and using nature-based solutions?
In this webinar experts will discuss alternative ways of working with biodiversity in cities. We will explore why these alternatives have emerged and what benefits they might bring.
