BIOdiverCITY La Biodiversidad Urbana como clave para la Descarbonización

Descripción

Biopolis is the global voice for the “human right to nature” and the “rights of nature” in cities, presented at 16th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) of the United Nations.

The convention will be attended by participants from over 190 countries. It will bring together governments, observer organizations, indigenous communities, businesses, youth groups, civil society, academia, and the general public.

COP16 will be the first Biodiversity COP since the adoption of the Global Biodiversity Framework (also known as The Biodiversity Plan). During COP 16, governments will review the progress made to implement the Biodiversity Plan, as well as the level of alignment of National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs) with the Plan, in particular, the integration of biodiversity in urban areas.

The Symposium is organized by the International Living Infrastructure Commission (LINC) bringing together key global networks and organizations: The World Green Infrastructure Network (WGIN), The International Federation of Landscape Architecture (IFLA), the US Green Building Council, and local partners: The National University of Colombia, The Alexander Von Humboldt Institute, and the Colombian Green Building Council.

Key note speakers from 5 continents and world leaders will share their experience and expertise in green infrastructure, landscape architecture, nature based solutions, urban ecology and biodiversity.

The international Commission for Living Infrastructure (LINC) embraces the shift from grey to nature-based cities at the COP16. The frenzy of human-centered urbanization over the last two centuries drastically transformed life-supporting
ecosystems into artificial environments failing to maintain the health of humans and non-humans.
At the tipping point of the current environmental crisis, there is an
urgent need to design and build urban landscapes that integrate plants, birds, pollinators, microorganisms, and other non-human forms of life that are key to
functional and resilient communities. This implies fostering our awareness of cities as a continuum of nature in man-made environments through new methods, approaches, projects and metrics that reflect how biodiversity contributes to achieving regenerative and inclusive urban landscapes which manifest the “human right to nature” motto, but also how buildings, public space and infrastructure meet the “rights of nature” and are recognized as a sound conservation strategy.
La Comisión Internacional para las Infraestructuras Vivas (LINC), en el
marco de la COP16, apuesta por una transformación de las ciudades grises
hacia ciudades basadas en la naturaleza. En los dos últimos siglos,
el frenesí de la urbanización centrada en el ser humano ha transformado los
ecosistemas que sustentan la vida en entornos artificiales, disminuyendo su
capacidad para mantener la salud de los seres humanos y no humanos.
En el actual punto de inflexión de la crisis ambiental, hay una necesidad
urgente por diseñar y construir paisajes urbanos que integren plantas,
aves, polinizadores, microorganismos y otras formas de vida no humanas
que son clave para sostener comunidades funcionales y resilientes.
Esto implica entender las ciudades como un continuum de la naturaleza
en los entornos artificiales, a través de nuevas metodologías, enfoques,
proyectos y métricas que evidencien las contribuciones de la biodiversidad
al desarrollo de paisajes urbanos regenerativos e inclusivos, que materialicen la aspiración del «derecho humano a la naturaleza», así como el aporte de los edificios, el espacio público y las infraestructuras a los «derechos de la naturaleza» y a las estrategias de conservación de la biodiversidad.
