The EU Biodiversity Strategy 2030 calls on cities to promote urban nature in the form of ‘Urban Nature Plans’ for the protection of biodiversity, for climate change mitigation and adaptation and for the quality of life in cities, and to set ambitious targets for this. This brochure transfers the approach of Urban Nature Plans to the German context and offers concrete tips for implementation. This includes a checklist to determine the extent to which a municipality‘s existing plans already correspond to Urban Nature Plans.
