The development and enhancement of nature areas in cities is a response to the challenges of climate change. Nature, beyond its heritage aspect (biodiversity, landscape), brings many benefits to urban areas.
Thus, the Nature for City LIFE project invites elected officials to move to nature in the city with the Nature for City Life training program run by the Regional Agency for Biodiversity and the Environment [ARBE]. Within this framework, elected officials can be trained free of charge on the implementation of climate change adaptation actions thanks to the levers offered by nature in the city!
Target: Municipal, metropolitan, departmental and regional elected officials from the three metropolitan areas of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (Aix-Marseille-Provence, Toulon-Provence-Méditerranée and Nice-Côte d'Azur).
In addition, as part of the Nature for City LIFE project piloted by the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur Region, ARBE offered two Nature for City LIFE webinars - Nature in the city and climate change: state of play and possible solutions on nature in the city and climate change adaptation on March 29 and May 17, 2022.
Participants discovered the services that nature in the city provides to adapt their territories to climate change: urban cooling, risk reduction, health preservation, carbon storage, sustainable water management, soil quality improvement, biodiversity enhancement. These solutions aim to promote mitigation and adaptation to the effects of climate change. In addition to the benefits they bring to biodiversity and the climate, these solutions have the advantage of being multifunctional by also improving the living environment and health of inhabitants.
Find in the section Actions C 3 - Mobilization -information of the designers of the city to inspire you the reports of the trainings carried out in Avignon, Miramas, La Seyne, Puyloubier and Saint-Cannat as well as the replays of the two webinars and the synthesis of the exchanges
