Growing Healthy, Connected, Urban Ecosystems for People, Nature and Climate

Growing Healthy, Connected, Urban Ecosystems for People, Nature and Climate is on at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh on Monday 26 October. It's a conference focused on healthy urban ecosystems and how they work for people, nature and the climate, and the title itself tells you exactly where the day is heading.

The whole thing is built around that one central theme: growing urban ecosystems that are healthy and connected, and that serve people, nature and the climate. It's not just a title; it's the main feature of the day, so you can expect the sessions to circle back to that idea throughout. If you've spent any time thinking about how cities can better integrate nature, or how urban greening affects the climate and the people living within it, that's the conversation this is centered on.

It's being held at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, which is a fitting spot for a day about urban ecosystems. The gardens are a big part of the city's green space, so you'll be talking about these things while surrounded by the kind of plants and habitats the conference is all about. It's a Monday, so it's a weekday commitment rather than a weekend one.

Tickets start from £15, so it's accessible if you're interested in the subject. The date is Monday 26 October, at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.
