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.
As part of the Nature for City LIFE project, the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur Region, the project leader, has set up four free training modules for elected officials at the municipal, metropolitan, departmental and regional levels in the three metropolitan areas of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (Aix-Marseille-Provence, Toulon-Provence-Méditerranée and Nice-Côte d'Azur). Thus, the Nature for City LIFE project invites elected officials to include the issues of nature in the city on their territory with the Nature For City Life! training program.
These four training modules will enable them to discover the levers offered by nature in the city : preservation of biodiversity, urban cooling, stormwater management, health and well-being, sustainable food, etc., in order to meet the challenges of climate change in the South.
- Module A [indoor] : 1 hour to discover and act on "Nature in the city and climate change: state of play, possible solutions
