Nature-first cities: How local action is shaping a future for biodiversity globally

Today marks International Day for Biological Diversity. Under this year’s theme, “Acting locally for global impact,” we are reminded that protecting nature starts close to home. In this issue, we explore how nature-first cities are shaping a more biodiverse future worldwide. We feature an open letter from the Executive Secretary of the Convention on Biological Diversity, Astrid Schomaker, and invite you to save the date for the 9th Summit for Subnational Governments and Cities, an official parallel event to Biodiversity COP17.
