The UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021-2030) identifies urban ecosystems as “radical transformations of natural areas” to serve a quality of life that modern society have come to expect and rely on. The UN Decade calls for greater commitments from civic groups and municipal authorities to set ambitious and innovative targets and fast-track sustainable urban ecosystems.
On Tuesday, July 26, at 8 a.m. (New York time), the Center for Earth Ethics will host a zoom event, “A Consultation on Cities: Mombasa, Kenya,” that will address truly sustainable urban ecosystems. This consultation will focus on sharing knowledge with the city’s social and faith leaders — predominantly from Muslim, Hindu and Christian religious traditions.
The participants will highlight the duty of care for their vibrant urban ecosystem:
- What “ecosystem restoration” looks like in Mombasa.
- What role houses of worship and faith-based institutions can play in creating more green spaces with cities.
- The benefit that houses of worship and faith-based institutions bring to the regeneration movement.
This consultation is the third consultation in the series, Values, Culture and Spirituality, organized by CEE in collaboration with the UN Environment Programme’s Faith for Earth Initiative, will host a conversation to support the UN Decade’s efforts by spotlighting restoration projects around the world. Previous consultations have examined air in St. James Parish, Louisianaand water in India’s River Yamuna.
