A crucial shift is required in urban development away from solely preventing climate change towards environmental action that protects and restores nature.  Cities can advance their nature-positive transition and expedite restorative and renaturalization actions to benefit and reap the rewards of a sustainable and resilient urban environment.  Nature-positive cities are developed by following defined steps to enhance the enabling environment.  A nature-positive transition helps mitigate the impacts of the extreme weather events that affect the city’s infrastructure or population.  Coordinated city action for nature is strategically necessary given the climate-, health- and infrastructure-related urban challenges arising from existing unbalanced relationships with nature and the biosphere.
