Renaturing Cities to Restore Ecosystems and Build Urban Resilience
15 May 2025, 15:00-16:00 CEST | online webinar
Join us for the Renaturing Cities to Restore Ecosystems and Build Urban Resilience webinar, the fourth session of Cities on the Frontline Series of 2025. The Resilient Cities Network and the Biotrails invite us to this webinar, where we'll discuss the role of the cities in nurturing natural spaces into urban environments, improving human well-being as well as building resilience.
This dynamic session will showcase how cities in Latin America and Europe are placing biodiversity at the core of urban development. Through inspiring examples—from ecological corridors and bioeconomy initiatives to citizen science— the webinar will explore innovative approaches to nature-positive cities. The event will also delve into localised solutions such as regenerative agriculture and organic waste reuse, highlighting their role in strengthening food systems and advancing circular economies.
