Scaling Urban NbS for Climate & Biodiversity Action

In this episode, we discuss how to unlock the potential of urban Nature-based Solutions.
We look at multilevel governance as the missing enabler of implementationconnecting national to local levels.
With concrete examples from Brazil and Montreal we go into the details of what it takes to turn global goals into the everyday decisions of planners, mayors, communities, and ministries.

Guests:

Secretary Adalberto Maluf: National Secretary for Urban Environment, Water Resources, and Environmental Quality at the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change of Brazil
Sidney Ribaux: NbS Expert, formerly Director of the Office of Ecological Transition and Resilience at the City of Montreal, Canada.
Julia Rocha Romero: Advisor, Nature-based Solutions, Adaptation Section, UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre.

This conversation builds on a new guide on Nature-based Solutions from UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre.
The guide, Rooted in Nature, provides practical entry points for mainstreaming urban NbS into national policy cycles, and translating them into place-based delivery. It features several key examples from UNEP’s Generation Restoration Cities.

Download the Rooted in Nature guide here.

The Guide is the result of UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre’s and UNEP’s collaboration on urban NbS and provides timely takes ahead of World Environment Day and the three COPs under the Rio Convention this year.
