摘要

In the face of global change, cities increasingly need to reconcile people and nature by promoting biodiversity and improving human well-being as acknowledged by the COP15 biodiversity agreement. However, achieving these objectives requires data-informed decision-making to adapt cities to our changing world. Here we argue that the application of modeling frameworks from macroecology represents a big opportunity to precisely understand and inform current and future patterns of urban biodiversity and its contributions to people in cities. By closely collaborating with urban planners and decision-makers, resulting biodiversity outputs could assist urban management to better adapt to climate change, protect biodiversity, and optimize access to nature and its benefits.
