Managing Urban-Rural Linkages for Nature
Managing Urban-Rural Linkages for Nature
Summary
Urban-rural linkages are constituted by reciprocal and repetitive flows of people, goods and financial and environmental services between specific rural, peri-urban and urban locations. To mainstream biodiversity across the urban-rural continuum and connect nature in cities with nature in regions, these flows must respect, conserve and steward biodiversity. The launch of the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework requires an integrated territorial (both urban and rural) approach for the sustainable management of biodiversity This position paper for the CBD COP15 presents a policy framework for managing urban-rural linkages for biodiversity action.
