Urban Biodiversity Coalition
A national alliance shaping nature-positive cities across the UAE
Urban Biodiversity Coalition
Convened by Terra Impact, the Urban Biodiversity Coalition brings together planners, scientists, NGOs and designers from across the UAE around one shared mission: cities where people and nature thrive. It provides a platform for collaboration to shape policy and practice nationwide.
At the coalition’s sixth meeting in September 2026, members took part in their first collaborative workshop to begin drafting a living set of principles for urban biodiversity in the UAE designed to evolve alongside our cities, our knowledge and nature itself.
Beyond coalition gatherings, members join learning journeys across the UAE, visiting organisations and places that champion the protection of our natural resources and heritage. These experiences connect members with local expertise and bring conservation in practice to life.
At Terra, we believe meaningful change is built from the ground up, bringing different perspectives together to turn ambition into action.
