Natural systems play an integral role in human well-being and contribute greatly to the sustainability of cities. Yet, biodiversity is one important measure of the state of natural ecosystems that is lacking in sustainable urban design and planning efforts. While urban areas continue to grow at an unprecedented rate, by 2050, 60 percent of the world’s population will be urban and will rely on biodiversity and healthy ecosystems for many basic services. 

In honor of World Biodiversity Day,  the Urban Knowledge-Action Network hosted this 60 min webinar to learn about this important topic from experts and innovators within our community, and share experiences.
