European cities still face various hindrances and bottlenecks to adopt the latest European Biodiversity strategy, target 14, which requires cities with at least 20k inhabitants to establish an urban nature plan (UNP) by including nature-based solutions (NBS) as urban planning tools to combat climate change issues. For this, two case studies (Hamburg in Germany and Genova in Italy) were selected as paradigmatic examples in the EU context to implement a mixed methodological approach that analyzes climate change adaptation and mitigation measures in their respective UNPs.

Abstract

European cities still face various hindrances and bottlenecks to adopt the latest European Biodiversity strategy, target 14, which requires cities with at least 20k inhabitants to establish an urban nature plan (UNP) by including nature-based solutions (NBS) as urban planning tools to combat climate change issues. For this, two case studies (Hamburg in Germany and Genova in Italy) were selected as paradigmatic examples in the EU context to implement a mixed methodological approach that analyzes climate change adaptation and mitigation measures in their respective UNPs.
