UNP+ Framework Explained in 12 Minutes
• Biodiversity and Ecosystems Services & Restoration
In this video, you’ll learn about the Urban Nature Plans+ (UNP+) Framework — an approach that helps cities protect and enhance biodiversity while integrating nature into urban development.
Urban Nature Plans (UNPs) act as a strategic, overarching framework that enables local governments to formalize their commitment to urban nature. They support the development of green infrastructure and the implementation of nature-based solutions (NbS), helping cities become more resilient, sustainable, and livable.
You will gain insights into:
• The origins and evolution of UNPs
• Why they are increasingly relevant for cities today
• The 10-step process behind the UNP+ Framework
• How the framework can be operationalized in practice
Whether you’re a policymaker, urban planner, researcher, or simply interested in sustainable cities, this video will give you a clear and practical introduction to how urban nature can be planned and implemented effectively.
