ByBarbara Riedemann

Las ciudades amazónicas son diversas en oportunidades y necesidades. La biodiversidad de la región es una de las más importantes del mundo, pero los retos de sostenibilidad de sus ciudades son menos conocidos. Estas juridicciones necesitan apoyo financiero y desarrollo de capacidades para crear espacios sostenibles, orientados a la conservación, equitativos, basados en la naturaleza y con un desarrollo circular. En el Congreso Mundial de ICLEI, alcaldes de esta región se reunieron para amplificar las voces de estas ciudades únicas.
