Wetlands not only create habitat corridors, supporting biodiversity, they also store carbon & act as natural climate buffers, reducing the impacts of extreme weather events.

Wetlands are a vital ecosystem for a healthy planet & sustainable cities🌍

#WorldWetlandsDay
@RamsarConv

[ICLEI Cities Biodiversity Center @ICLEICBC]

To increase environmental awareness, cities can organize events such as guided wetland tours, birdwatching activities & clean-up drives, & collaborate with schools & universities to use wetlands as outdoor classrooms 🍃🦩🐟

#WorldWetlandsDay #WWD2025 #ActForWetlands
@RamsarConv

[ICLEI Cities Biodiversity Center @ICLEICBC]

Cities can educate communities on the
importance of #wetlands for:

🔘Filtering water: improving water quality for drinking & sanitation
🔘Regulating stream flow, preventing floods & mitigating droughts

#WorldWetlandsDay #WWD2025 #WetlandsForOurCommonFuture
@RamsarConv

[ICLEI Cities Biodiversity Center @ICLEICBC]

🌏To restore & maintain #wetlands, cities need to integrate wetland management & budget goals into:

🗺️Municipal development plans & zoning regulations
📃Climate resilience strategies
