Summary:

Last December’s COP15 in Montréal put Biodiversity more than ever at the heart of our discussions on land-use planning and economic development, and led us to rethink the dominant models that have guided our approaches in these areas. With our three guests, we will discuss the state of knowledge and approaches to protecting and regenerating urban biodiversity and combating climate change. Through the concept of “urban metabolism”, we will explore the role of public policy, citizen participation and alternative economies in implementing the solutions needed to accelerate and succeed in this transition to greener, more circular and inclusive cities.
