Realising the Urban Contribution?
Reflections on Cities in the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Governance Framework after the OEWG 2, Rome, February 2020
@naturvation#naturvation
www.naturvation.eu
Shifting the Dial?
From Threat to Opportunity Urbanisation cast as threat to biodiversity on urban margins
Growing interest in opportunity of harnessing urban action (e.g. through NBS, through role in connecting people to nature)
Not yet grasped how to make post-2020 an urban opportunity
From Margins to Mainstream Cities as ‘implementers’ of strategy/action decided elsewhere
Growing rhetoric of ‘whole of government’ approach
Unclear whether cities also now seen as ‘innovators’ for post-2020
Towards Transformative Change? Focus was on direct impact of urbanisation on biodiversity
Growing recognition of role in indirect drivers
Transformative change not yet providing basis for post-2020
Getting the Action Agenda up & running?
Where are we on the road from Sharm-el-Sheik to Kunming?
What is the Action Agenda and why does it matter?
Is the Action Agenda back on the table?
What will it mean for cities?
Looking Ahead
With so much up in the air, looking ahead feels challenging
Keeping our eyes on the horizon, knowing local conditions are changing week by week
It will be a challenge to continue to involve cities in this conversation because of new priorities on the ground
More than ever will need to show how action on biodiversity is an urban opportunity
How best to capture this opportunity? New Decision to recognise ‘all levels of government’ needed for
post-2020 action
Mainstreaming urban action by ensuring agreed Targets recognise role cities play in both direct/indirect drivers of change
Process going forward: COVID-19, Scotland Workshop (and capacity building event), and other events on the roadmap
