The climate crisis is rivaled by the global biodiversity crisis. The solutions to both are interdependent. Cities have, in large part, generated the climate and biodiversity crisis. Now, not only are they looked upon to find climate solutions, but they’re increasingly recognized as critical players for global species and ecosystem conservation and restoration.
