Season 3 – Episode 3 Of City Climate Innovation Special: Biodiversity And Climate Resilient Development

In this third episode we would like to turn our focus to the role of nature in building resilient cities in consideration of the nature in which they are embedded. We welcome today Engineer Rigoberto Guerrero of the Municipality of Cuenca, Ecuador, alongside expert perspectives from Distinguished Professor Xuemei Bai of the Australian National University Fenner School of Environment and Society and Chief Heat Officer Eleni Myrivili of UN-Habitat.

They’ll join hosts Ben Jance and Cathy Oke in our third installment of City Climate Innovation, special episodes of the ClimateTalks Podcast produced by GCoM. Continuing the third series of special episodes of the ClimateTalks Podcast in partnership with GCoM, these dialogues are focused on the key themes of the 2024 Innovate4Cities Conference.

Today, we will explore the potential for biodiversity & resilience-focused research & innovation to inform cities around the necessary safeguards to mitigate climate change and adapt effectively to its impacts.

The clip at the beginning of the episode is from Eleni Myrivili delivering a TED Talk on A 3-Part Plan to Take on Extreme Heat Waves.
