Biodivercities By 2030: Transforming Cities’ Relationship With Nature

The "BiodiverCities by 2030: Transforming Cities’ Relationship with Nature" report, released by the World Economic Forum in January 2022, presents a vision for urban development that integrates nature into city planning and infrastructure investments. It emphasizes the economic and social benefits of nature-based solutions (NbS), highlighting a potential $583 billion investment opportunity that could generate $1.5 trillion in annual business value and create over 59 million jobs by 2030. The report advocates for systemic shifts in urban governance, spatial reintegration of natural ecosystems, and the mobilization of investments toward nature-positive initiatives to enhance urban resilience, sustainability, and livability.
