00:17:00 Isabel Ripa Juliá: Why there are so many cities from the UK? 00:20:24 Alice Reil (ICLEI Europe): There are likely lots of opportunities/events/webinars in Europe from the EU-funded projects to share this policy brief (depending on its messages). Also in the UrbanByNature by ICLEI with Connecting Nature/CLEVER Cities programme there might be opportunities with European hubs now being developed in UK, Spain and Belgium/Flanders. But it really depends on the framing of the policy brief. 00:21:30 Timon McPhearson (he/him): Great ideas Alice. there may be new opportunities emerging over the coming months in the lead up to Part 2 of the Kunming CBD COP. 00:21:56 Timon McPhearson (he/him): I can imagine a journal or two may organize a series of comments/briefs. Or something to even strategically suggest to some editors. 00:22:09 Nancy Grimm: ^^ Alice - join the TWG! 00:32:22 Oliver Hillel: At least 11 of the 21 targets of the first draft of the Global Biodiversity Framework (1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18 and 19) are directly influenced by urban governance! And for the first time, "city builders" are listening... In the science-policy-practice interface, what are the gaps and opportunities for the NATURA community to address? 00:35:16 Jennifer Rae Pierce: UBHub has previously provided a snapshot of the current landscape of local actions based on our database (such as in the NUCA report) and we would be happy to provide that again. Let’s chat! 00:35:52 Thomas Elmqvist: Great, thanks Jennifer 00:35:54 Ernita: Thanks Jennifer for your interest! 00:37:31 Isabel Ripa Juliá: In the EU, local authorities are developing Urban Agendas according to the UN Urban Agenda and integrating the SDGs, based in national and EU strategies. Are you taking this into account? I think that biodiversity is not sufficiently addressed by them. 00:37:47 Nancy Grimm: and >80%of biodiversity hotspots on Indigenous lands 00:39:44 Oliver Hillel: Timon, this is the moment. After COP 26, at which there was a very successful event about nature/climate emergencies under the Rio Conventions, we should cooperate about messaging and complementing each other's efforts 00:39:53 Jennifer Rae Pierce: Thanks Timon, we would agree! <3 00:40:22 Timon McPhearson (he/him): Agree Oliver. 00:41:31 Oliver Hillel: Lena Chan, one of the co-leads of the WEF BiodiverCities by 2030 Commission, along with Rob as a member, has also agreed to coordinate messaging. Russell Galt of IUCN's Cities Aliance too 00:41:51 Timon McPhearson (he/him): One piece we could build on, is a global assessment on urban NBS that has both a review of reviews, but also an expert review region by region. We will submit this soon, but could also perhaps build on this effort for synthesizing the science basis which is evolving fast but in some ways differently in different global regions. 00:43:11 Tessa Martinez: In the EU, local authorities are developing Urban Agendas according to the UN Urban Agenda and integrating the SDGs, based in national and EU strategies. Are you taking this into account? I think that biodiversity is not sufficiently addressed by them. 00:47:15 Tessa Martinez: https://natura-net.org/opportunities 00:48:48 Tessa Martinez: Flyer (Spanish): https://natura-net.org/s/Spanish-2022-IRES-flyer.pdf 00:48:55 Tessa Martinez: Flyer (English): https://natura-net.org/s/English-2022-IRES-flyer-3.pdf 00:52:37 Timon McPhearson (he/him): Perhaps the in-person TWG call due Nov. 15th is a good option to bring the CBO3 and NBS Roadmap teams together? Thomas, Robert, Oliver, Ernita, happy to strategize around this if helpful. 00:53:01 Timon McPhearson (he/him): Something for spring 2022 perhaps. 00:53:17 Thomas Elmqvist: Yes good idea 00:55:07 Tessa Martinez: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Z8Z686G 00:56:12 Robert McDonald (he/him): @Timon, yes that's a good idea. Happy to be involved with the brainstorming, but this time around Ernita and ICLEI were leading some of the thinking about CBO3, so her presence would be key. 00:56:46 Timon McPhearson (he/him): Got it. 00:56:49 Tadhg Mac: Apologies but I have to go-thanks for keep us updated well done all Tadhg @gogreenroutes 00:56:56 Alice Reil (ICLEI Europe): Additional point re. NBS roadmap - if you're not aware: NetworkNature partners Biodiversa organised an expert workshop yesterday to inform the EU NBS roadmap (not just urban). The results should be published in the course of next year. Once public, Bettina, Nea or I can share in a webinar. 00:57:22 Timon McPhearson (he/him): Thanks Alice! 00:57:26 Tessa Martinez: https://natura-net.org/opportunities 00:57:30 Thomas Elmqvist: Great thanks Alice 00:57:46 Elizabeth Cook (she/her): So many great opportunities, and, thank you for the updates! 00:58:13 Ralitsa Shentova: Thank you so much, everyone!
