Promote Pollinators is looking forward to hosting an online event on December 8th at 15:00 CEST. The free webinar will focus on Pollinators in the urban environment.

The webinar aims to share knowledge on the relevance of pollinators in the urban environment and to showcase examples of urban pollinator policies and initiatives. We want to enhance attention with other cities and city-influencers and identify facilitators that help cities to develop and implement pollinators strategies. The webinar will last about 2 hours and will be divided into two parts: presentations and panel discussions between experts.

The presentations about pollinators in the urban environment will be held by various experts.

  1. State of the art science
    • Katherine Baldock
  2. The national perspective
    • Mexico, Sol Ortiz Garcia (TBC)
  3. What is happening in cities?
    • Montreal – Michel St-Germain
    • Tallinn – Meelis Uustal
    • Nairobi – Wanja Kinuthia
  4.  The Bee City and Bee Campus USA Initiatives
    • Mace Vaughan

The presentations will be followed by panel discussions. Leading questions:

  • what are critical success factors for good urban pollinator initiatives?
  • (how) can urban pollinator initiatives contribute to science and awareness?
  • how can other governmental levels support the development of urban pollinator initiatives?
