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，越来越多的人认识到，城市是实现可持续发展斗争的关键前沿(见SDG-11；《2020年世界城市报告》；人居署三，2016年)。它们在地方和全球层面都构成了重大的社会环境挑战--无论是造成或遭受环境退化、栖息地丧失、自然灾害和人为灾害(如新冠肺炎)的影响，还是气候变化及其相关风险--例如此外，随着人类叙事的继续展开，我们的未来看起来越来越城市化，到2050年，城市将拥有全球68%的人口(《2020年世界城市报告》)。根据这一轨迹，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》)。新的城市议程(NUA)设想城市：“保护、养护、恢复和促进其生态系统、水、自然栖息地和生物多样性，最大限度地减少其对环境的影响，改变为可持续的消费和生产模式”(人居署III，2016)。寻找实现这一愿景的创新方法是未来十年的关键斗争(《2020年世界城市报告》)。该项目旨在加入有关可持续城市化的讨论，并通过对旨在将伦敦转变为世界上第一个国家公园城市(LNPC)的高度创新和快速发展的运动进行民族志探索，为全球话语做出宝贵贡献。

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).
