11、rvation mainly in rural and peri-urban areas.However,in 2016,during the IUCN World Conservation Congress,the IUCN Council has requested to incorporate urban conservation into the work of the Union.It was acknowledged that the majority of the worlds population is urban,and that urban people are criti

12、cal for nature conservation.Overall,the importance of urban biodiversity has increased exponentially and has required the establishment of dedicated processes and bodies to ensure its mainstreaming within the work of the Union.At the 2016 IUCN World Conservation Congress,IUCN Members adopted Resolut

13、ion 29 on Incorporating urban dimensions of nature conservation into the work of IUCN.To drive its implementation,the Members called on CouncilIUCNs highest decision-making body“to establish an IUCN Urban Alliance,chaired by a member of Council and composed of Members and units of Commissions and th

14、e Secretariat concerned with urban dimensions of conservation”.In addition,Resolution 67 Call for Nature in Cities agendas and Strengthening the IUCN Urban Alliance(2020 IUCN World Conservation Congress),has mainstreamed urban conservation in IUCNs programme of work.From that moment,there has been i

15、ncreasing momentum around urban biodiversity both globally and within IUCN.For instance,in 2021 Subnational governments were included in IUCNs membership;the Nature 2030 IUCN Programme,guiding IUCNs work,has a dedicated target on nature and people thriving in cities while addressing urban challenges

16、;and finally,the Marseille Manifesto explicitly mentions the IUCN Urban Nature Indexes,IUCNs flagship knowledge product on urban biodiversity,as part of an ambitious pledge to expand universal access to green spaces and enhance urban biodiversity in 100 cities.To give structure to the plethora of IU

17、CN tools and methodologies that can be applied in urban ecosystems,the IUCN Heritage and Culture Team,where the IUCN programme of work on urban sits,has developed the IUCN Urban Toolbox.It aims at guiding subnational governments,municipalities and urban professionals throughout their journey in natu
