‘The Critical Dynamics of City Biodiversity and Global Conservation’
Cities are gaining recognition as identifiable ecosystems. The role they play in global conservation is gathering attention, particularly as urban populations grow.
The next City of London Green City Briefing, by the International Association of Horticultural Producers (AIPH) in collaboration with the Worshipful Company of Gardeners, looks at ‘The Critical Dynamics of City Biodiversity and Global Conservation’.
Taking place free-of-charge on Wednesday 20 October 2021 from 1-2 pm BST, the webinar considers local action to enhance biodiversity, links with city-wide ecological corridors, and interactions with the wider landscape that direct city planning and growth.
During the briefing, Dr. Barrett-Mold who is primarily an ecologist will introduce:
- Mrs Hilary Russell, The Lady Mayoress, City of London
- Dr Mike Maunder, Executive Director, Cambridge Conservation Initiative, Judge Business School, University of Cambridge, with co-author Russell Galt, Head of Urban Alliance, IUCN-World Conservation Union
- Marina Ruta, Lead of the BiodiverCities by 2030 Initiative by the World Economic Forum
The sustainability of urban biodiversity is enhanced by city-wide visions that connect individual interventions and create nature networks. Global organisations must now mobilise city leaders to make urban biodiversity a priority.
