THEMATIC WORKING GROUP

GLOBAL TO LOCAL: SYNTHESIZING GLOBAL TARGETS AND LOCAL PRACTICES FOR BIODIVERSITY AND NATURE-BASED SOLUTIONS

Organizers: Jennifer Rae Pierce and Sabrina Drill

Goals of this working group

  • Based on local practice, identify which national-level goals in the Strategic Plan 2011-2020 and/or Post-2020 GBF of the CBD are most relevant in an urban context

  • Suggest indicators that can be used at the urban level to measure progress towards these global targets.

  • Conversely, explore how local nature-based solutions and approaches to biodiversity conservation can inform global frameworks.

  • Provide inputs to the development of the post-2020 framework to improve coordination between global processes and parallel efforts by local governments on nature-based solutions planning.

  • Highlight best practices and support international city-to-city learning of urban nature-based solutions and biodiversity strategies.
