The alarming loss of biodiversity poses an imminent threat to the urban environment as well as the health and well-being of its communities. Spurring the necessary transformational change globally requires immediate action on the local level. The ‘Berlin Urban Nature Pact’, led by and for cities, translates the global nature goals into a set of ambitious SMART targets. This workshop highlights how the Pact supports cities in taking this transformative action and will inspire more cities to lead in the path forward.
The current introduction phase, January 2024 – July 2024, will establish a guidance documentation to accompany and supplement the final Pact document. A roadmap for events as well as means to inform interested stakeholders and administrations will be established, and a coordination office will be set-up by the City of Berlin in September 2024. The next phase will start from July 2024 onwards, to eventually culminate in an official signing event at the CBD COP-16 and a follow-up period in which cities can join the Pact to become official signatories.
