What we are achieving
The project enables governments at all levels – from local to national – to integrate their efforts for mainstreaming biodiversity and ecosystem services into core subnational government functions such as spatial planning, land-use management, local economic development and infrastructure design. It further supports city-regions to understand and unlock, within their specific local context, the potential of nature to provide essential services and new or enhanced economic opportunities, while simultaneously protecting and enhancing the biodiversity and ecosystems on which these services and opportunities depend. Such actions place the participating city-regions on a more resilient and sustainable development path. The project is implemented in 3 countries and 3 or 4 cities per country: Dar es Salaam, Dodoma, Moshi & Arusha in Tanzania; Campina, Belo Horizonte & Londrina in Brazil; and Kochi, Panjim & Gantok in India.
