  • “Green placemaking” – Why communication and engagement is key in changing the way we think about urban green spaces

    Many cities around the world are experimenting with engaging residents in green space
    maintenance and at the same time, communicating about the benefits of nature, nudging locals to
    a more pro-environmental behaviour. This is a core theme of the BiodiverCity network as well,
    and the case of Dunaújváros, Hungary highlights the need for resilient, biodiversity-driven green
    space management in the shadow of climate change.

  • Webinar: Shaping our City Stories - how SDGs can be used strategically by cities

    In this first webinar, we will explore how SDGs can be used strategically by cities to foster holistic sustainability, regardless of their starting point. We will learn about the support provided by UN-Habitat and the URBACT programme to cities around Europe and the world, and hear real testimonials from cities about how they are tackling sustainable urban development. We will also discuss how the role of local governments can be further strengthened by listening to cities’ experiences.
