IHDC 2012 Conference • Ecosystem Services Come to Town
Adapting to Climate Change by Working with Nature
"We the mayors and governors of the world’s leading cities… ask you to recognize that the future of our globe will be won or lost in the cities of the world.” - Copenhagen Climate Change communiqué, December 2009
Our towns and cities face numerous complex challenges - overheating, surface water management, air and water pollution, loss of biodiversity and green space. The IHDC 2012 Conference on 15th October discusses ways and means to work with nature and integrate an ecosystem services approach to the design of the built environment.
