Generation restoration community of practice
This Community of Practice provides cities with a dedicated space to share tools and resources, experiences, and best practices on ecosystem restoration, resilience, and climate change adaptation.
What our community of practice can provide
Aligned with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) and the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, this platform helps cities navigate challenges through:
- Restoring and protecting coastal ecosystems to enhance resilience and biodiversity.
- Sharing robust scientific tools and data for informed decision-making.
- Discussing best practices for implementing climate policies that balance ecological integrity with urban development.
By fostering collaboration, this community empowers cities to scale up restoration efforts, strengthen biodiversity, and build climate-resilient, sustainable urban environments.
Why do cities need a community of practice focused on ecosystem restoration?
Cities face growing environmental challenges, including ecosystem degradation, biodiversity loss, and climate change impacts. This Community of Practice provides a space for cities to exchange knowledge, share best practices, and access tools for integrating nature-based solutions (NbS) and ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) in their city. By fostering collaboration among policymakers, scientists, and stakeholders, it supports cities in strengthening resilience, restoring ecosystems, and aligning with global biodiversity and climate goals. Through shared learning innovation, cities can accelerate sustainability efforts, enhance well-being, and build healthier, more climate-resilient urban environments.

- Forum
To enable cities to learn and inspire each other and share their experiences, they need to be connected. This Community of Practice provides a forum with a chat function for cities to share their work and to ask questions and provide input on topics relevant to ecosystem restoration.
