Acci�nDescripción
Capacitaci�nThe Urban Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (URBES) project that IUCN was a partner of aimed to increase the scientific knowledge and bridge the gap between scientists, policy-makers, experts and practitioners on the role of urban biodiversity and ecosystem services for human well-being. Focus has been on urban areas, urbanization trends, biodiversity and ecosystem services Special attention...
Convocar a partes interesadas/creaci�n de redesIUCN Brussels hosted a meeting with representatives of European regions to discuss opportunities for collaboration to promote ecosystem services and nature based solutions within regional sustainable development strategies, and to find ways for IUCN to support inter-regional collaboration.
Influencia pol�tica/promoci�n de pol�ticasIUCN has been actively involved in the science-policy interface to raise the visibility of the value of nature in an urban context, through factsheets, presentations at various conferences and videos
Indique cuáles han sido los resultados/logros obtenidos en el marco de las actividades realizadas: 
Effective conservation cannot be confined to remote and pristine natural areas, but should take a holistic view and include all relevant actors. Many decisions which affect biodiversity are taken at the local and subnational level. These levels of government are often responsible for significant tracts of nature and play an important role in achieving the national and international biodiversity targets.

The growing urban population has a large impact on biodiversity, but at the same time represents opportunities for connecting people with nature. The services biodiversity and ecosystem services provide to cities and urbanized regions are essential for citizen’s quality of life and can provide solutions for challenges such as water and energy supply, air pollution, natural disasters and climate change.

The IUCN European Regional Office will continue to strengthen the network to engage subnational governments in working towards upscaling nature-based solutions.
¿Qué esfuerzos se están llevando a cabo para superar dichos obstáculos?: 
Both the European Commission and European Foundations will be approached to mobilise funding for strengthening the engagement of local and regional governments
