Climate change is one of the major challenges of our century. It is already having an impact on our daily lives: summer heat peaks, the frequency and violence of natural disasters, droughts, the spread of disease, deteriorating air quality...
These impacts of climate change are exacerbated in urban areas due to their combination with the artificialization of soils and concentration of human activities. However, more than half of the world's population now lives in urban areas, a proportion that is expected to increase further to 66% by 2050[1].
Faced with these climate changes, strengthening the adaptation of urban spaces is a major challenge. The development and enhancement of nature zones (infrastructures or green and blue fields) and all the services provided by nature in cities is a response to this challenge.
The Nature for city LIFE project aims to strengthen the adaptation of urban spaces to the impacts of climate change through the development and enhancement of nature in cities. Through a strong and innovative partnership between the metropolises of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d' Azur region, the project makes it possible to demonstrate the services provided by nature in an urban environment and thus provide concrete solutions for all Mediterranean cities and beyond !
Develop and develop nature in cities to enhance the attractiveness of urban areas and adapt to climate change.
