CitiesWithNatureQuotes from leaders
Gino Van Begin, ICLEI Secretary General
CitiesWithNature was developed out of a fundamental need by cities and provides a powerful global platform to connect them and other subnational governments with each other, their communities and experts to inspire and learn from one another on their shared journey to integrate nature into cities in a way that benefits both people and nature.
Dr. Lena Chan, Senior Director, International Biodiversity Conservation Division at National Parks Board, Singapore
Biodiversity is essential for human survival. Since more than 50% of the human population live in cities now, we must ensure that biodiversity thrives in cities – for our own good!
Jonathan Hughes, Global Councillor, IUCN & Chief Executive, Scottish Wildlife Trust
Whilst the case for nature-based solutions has been thoroughly made, we remain a long way short of mainstreaming green design at all scales in urban ecosystems. The IUCN Urban Nature Alliance looks forward to working with ICLEI and CitiesWithNature in ensuring nature-based solutions become the new normal for cities across the world in the next decade.
Dr. Cathy Oke, First Vice President of ICLEI and Councillor for the City of Melbourne
Now, more than ever, we need to reconnect with nature, to plan, build and manage our cities with nature! ICLEI and its partners are proud to present this shared global ambition, which aims to enable a growing number of cities and partners to come on board and collaborate.
