City Team leaders, perhaps you would like to share your experiences with Covid-19 in each of your cities? We understand that its a difficult time so please feel no pressure to do so. However, if you would like to ask others if they are experiencing similar issues and how you could share coping mechanisms to deal with them, please feel free to add your comments here.
A number of organisations are releasing reports and strategies to explore links between COVID-19 and food security, nutrition and food systems. IFPRI's new on how the development community is working to understand the crisis includes:
Hi again! To say that if you are inspired by this article that you may like to attend the Visions for Transition: How Agriculture and Cities of the Future can save Biodiversity online event (posted earlier on CMT). The program - available online - has many really great speakers exploring how to connect pollinators and other insects with cities to promote beneficial city ecosystems.
Presentations look at the impact of chemicals on urban nature (When chemicals interact with ecosystems Dr. Violette Geissen Wageningen University, Netherlands), good practice showcasing cities that are transitioning to healthier biodiverse systems (Transition towns Friesach - a city on its way into the future Leo Kudlicka, First Transition Town Initiative in Austria), edible city examples of change (Food cooperatives: How farmers and comsumers can work together Julianna Fehlinger, MA Via Campesina, Austria) and something on bees of course! („Save Bees and Farmers“: The contribution of citizens‘ movements and NGOs to save biodiversity Dr. Helmut Burtscher-Schaden, GLOBAL 2000, Austria). The event also includes online workshops where the final one is to be held by Dr. Rob Hopkins from the Transition Network!
This is an independent event of knowledge sharing that relates to many of our goals at EdiCitNet!
The IUCN has just released A guide for pollinator-friendly cities! Visit here to learn more and download this resource!
@IrisKroeger, I realise Andernach's City Team has a focus on pollination! This article may be of interest! Would you like to provide a brief description of pollinator discussions that you've been having to share with EdiCitNet? Please feel free to add this as a separate post linking to this one!
