Urban Forests and NBS
According to a report by the United Nations, it is said that 70% of the world population will live in urban areas by 2050. And with the expansion of urbanised spaces comes the challenge of not only protecting but also reintroducing nature in cities. Where do we find enough funding and do we convince investors that it is the future of cities?
Pierre Cattoire, Sustainable Innovation Strategist at LGI, is the guest of Pardon My Planet podcast. He leads a study for Clearing House, a European-Chinese project that aims to bring the forest and nature inside the cities. This study especially focuses on business models and investment cases for urban forest nature-based solutions.
