“We must strive to create small ‘green spaces’ in the most densely populated areas of cities,” Jingmin Huang, Director of the Water and Urban Development Sector Office and representative of Sector Group 2 Department at the Asian Development Bank, said during the session titled “Building Nature-Positive Cities: Housing Resilience and a Sustainable Urban Future” held within the framework of WUF13, APA reports.
He noted that from the perspective of Asian cities, nature-positive policies are no longer a choice, but a necessity:
“The ‘Nature-Positive for Asia and the Pacific 2024–2030’ plan essentially reflects a new approach. The plan provides a roadmap for combating biodiversity loss, pollution, and climate change across various sectors, including urban development, water, transport, agriculture, and energy.”
He emphasized that one of the key initiatives implemented by the Asian Development Bank is the application of nature-based solutions:
“This approach is an important part of nature-oriented policy. These solutions, implemented in many cities, serve to enhance climate resilience, improve public health, and make cities more livable.”
