There is no doubt we have made progress on environmental issues in the last few decades. But climate change, nature loss & pollution & waste continue to outpace our efforts. We need to speed up. This is the key task for 2021 & in future

The new IUCN Urban Nature Alliance will help carve out more space for nature in urban areas, and accelerate the move…

Roseanna Cunningham, Climate Secretary. Scotland Government

Climate changeBy ThobsJuly 20, 2020

A more diverse range of actors is needed on global climate action without adding additional complexity. States, regions and cities are fundamental delivery partners on climate policy

Iñaki Susaeta, Secretary-General Regions4
