Sustainability-from-below: People, nature and diversity in London National Park City

随着我们进入2030年可持续发展议程行动十年，人们越来越认识到城市是实现可持续性斗争的关键前沿（见可持续发展目标11；《2020年世界城市报告》；2016年联合国人居三）。它们在地方和全球层面都带来了重大的社会环境挑战——无论是助长或遭受环境退化、栖息地丧失、自然灾害和人为灾害（如COVID-19），还是气候变化及其相关风险（如洪水、热应激、干旱、空气和水污染）（《全球生物多样性展望2020》）。此外，随着人类叙事的不断展开，我们的未来将越来越城市化，到2050年，城市将成为全球68%人口的家园（《2020年世界城市报告》）。鉴于这一趋势，可持续城市化的必要性已成为全球优先事项（《2020年世界城市报告》）。《新城市议程》（NUA）设想的城市是：“保护、养护、恢复和促进生态系统、水、自然栖息地和生物多样性，最大限度地减少对环境的影响，并向可持续的消费和生产模式转变”（联合国人居三，2016年）。寻找创新的方式来实现这一愿景是未来十年的一项关键工作（《2020年世界城市报告》）。该项目旨在加入关于可持续城市化的对话，并通过对高度创新和快速发展的运动进行民族志探索，为全球话语做出有价值的贡献，旨在将伦敦转变为世界上第一个国家公园城市（LNPC）。

As we enter the Decade of Action for the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, there is growingrecognition that cities are key frontiers in the fight to achieve sustainability (see SDG-11; World CitiesReport 2020; UN-Habitat III 2016). They present significant socio-environmental challenges on both thelocal and global level - whether contributing to, or suffering from, environmental degradation, habitat loss,natural and human-induced disasters (such as COVID-19), or climate change and its associated risks -e.g. flooding, heat stress, drought and pollution of air and water (Global Biodiversity Outlook 2020).Moreover, as the human narrative continues to unfold, our future looks increasingly urban, and by 2050,cities will be home to 68% of the global population (World Cities Report 2020). In light of this trajectory,the need for sustainable urbanisation has become a global priority (World Cities Report 2020). The NewUrban Agenda (NUA) imagines cities that: "protect, conserve, restore and promote their ecosystems,water, natural habitats and biodiversity, minimize their environmental impact and change to sustainableconsumption and production patterns" (UN-Habitat III 2016). Finding innovative ways to implement thisvision is a key struggle for the upcoming decade (World Cities Report 2020). This project seeks to join theconversation regarding sustainable urbanisation, and make a valuable contribution to global discoursethrough conducting an ethnographic exploration of the highly innovative, and rapidly developingmovement aiming to transform London into the world's first National Park City (LNPC).
