    • The benefits of citizen science and nature-noticing activities for well-being, nature connectedness and pro-nature conservation behaviors

    The current biodiversity crisis, extinction of experience of nature and rising concern about people's well-being and mental health require us to understand the benefits of activities supporting people's engagement with nature. We ran a 1-week randomised controlled experiment to test the impact of nature-focussed activities on people's connectedness to nature and well-being.

    • Biodiversity in Cities - Technical Guide

    In order to respond to the challenges and growing demand of counterparts, partners and populations to better integrate nature in cities, AFD Group has developed this technical guide "Biodiversity in Cities". In urban areas, biodiversity makes it possible to act simultaneously on health and well-being of inhabitants, on employment, on resilience to natural risks and on climate. It thus complements actions in the water management, agriculture and fisheries sectors.

    • Ending Global Sprawl: Urban Standards for Sustainable and Resilient Development

    The health and wellbeing of humankind will depend on the kind of cities we build in the next two generations. They will provide the scaffolding for our social, economic and environmental future. In many respects, the way we shape cities will impact humanity’s most pressing challenges: climate change and habitat stability; social opportunity and community strength; economic growth and poverty.

  • Abstract

    • Summary - Towards an IUCN Nature-Positive Approach: a Working Paper

    To deliver a nature-positive future the world needs to be able to measure progress towards global goals, but currently lacks the tools to do so. IUCN is developing a quantitative methodology to measure and track contributions towards protecting and restoring nature. The methodology will help companies, governments and civil society assess opportunities and risks, set targets, measure progress, deliver nature-positive impacts, as well as assess investment portfolios and value-chain impacts.
