Why attend
Discover how the AIPH Green City Standard empowers cities to integrate nature into urban governance, enhancing competitiveness, resilience, and quality of life. This governance-focused framework builds on the AIPH World Green City Awards to help cities scale up nature-based solutions and transition to nature-positive societies.
Session Description
Urban greening is increasingly recognised as a strategic imperative for cities facing climate, biodiversity, and economic challenges. The AIPH Global Green City Standard provides a governance-driven framework to help cities plan, implement, and monitor nature-based solutions, embedding greening into city leadership, urban management, and economic development.In this speedy session, we will introduce the Standard’s eight key city-led processes, share lessons from award-winning cities, and demonstrate how plants, parks, and green spaces can enhance competitiveness, attract investment, and improve urban resilience. Attendees will leave with practical knowledge and tools to integrate nature into their own city’s urban development strategy.
