The CBD "Plan of Action on Sub-National Governments, Cities and Other Local Authorities for Biodiversity 2011-2020" provided options for national governments and their partners in implementation for facing the challenges of biodiversity loss from the urban perspective. During the workshop the research needs will be discussed among the URBIO Advisory Board, the contributors of the CBO (Global Biodiversity Outlook) and representatives of the SCBD and ICLEI. The discussion should be based on existing bibliographic studies on urban biodiversity, ecosystem services and design, the findings of Cities and Biodiversity Outlook; as well as the needs stated by local governments.
A goal of the workshop is the creation of a global and regional research agenda for the necessary scientific fields and skills needed for effective work in urban biodiversity; monitoring and measurement tools for urban ecosystem services and footprints; policy and governance instruments for subnational and local action (linking all levels of government); urban studies on fragmentation and connectivity; and design considerations of urban biodiversity.
Main Questions are:
What are our main research needs in urban biodiversity, ecosystem services and design aspects of urban biodiversity?
What useful knowledge is currently available and what are critical knowledge gaps?
What information do decision makers in government and other sectors need from researchers and experts now? How can we learn what decision makers need to know?
These questions should be more detailed:
Learning: How can we do a better job of translating practitioners’ and citizens’ questions and needs for urban biodiversity conservation into our science research frameworks? How do we do a better job of translating scientist’s questions and needs into our design, planning, management and policy frameworks?
Communication: How can we infuse our ‘science’ into the actions of managers and urban professionals? How can we infuse the activities and pressures on managers and urban professionals into the actions of scientists studying urban biodiversity? How can we create a better model for connecting in both directions scientific knowledge and management action — that is, creating an enduring and productive dialogue?
Scale: How can we effectively apply science (social & ecological) findings determined from local, regional and global scales to the site scales (e.g., individual parks) that are the focus of most urban professionals?
Creating useful knowledge: How do we translate our scientific results (social & ecological) into useful knowledge to address the needs of urban professionals for ‘place based’ outcomes (e.g., parks, streets, neighbourhoods and local government areas)?
