CitiesWithNature
Now, more than ever, there is a need to unite and embrace nature, reconnect communities with nature, become CitiesWithNature!
Become part of this unique initiative that recognizes and enhances the value of nature in and around cities across the world. It provides a shared platform for cities and their partners to engage and connect, working with shared commitment towards a more sustainable urban world.
All cities, large and small, critically depend on healthy interconnected ecosystems within and around them, so it is essential that nature is fully integrated into urban planning and development. Nature provides diverse life-supporting and life-enhancing contributions to people in cities.
These gifts from nature make human life both possible and worth living. There is a growing urgency for collective and large-scale action to protect the biodiversity in and around cities to prevent irreversible loss and damage to the natural systems we depend on.
