Theme 1
Consumption Drivers
This theme reflects the impacts of cities that result from the resources (e.g. food, energy, water, goods) used by its inhabitants and businesses and often have global reach.
ExploreThe IUCN Urban Alliance—a broad coalition of IUCN constituents concerned with urban dimensions of nature conservation—has unveiled a new knowledge product for measuring the ecological performance of cities: the IUCN Urban Nature Indexes (UNI).
The UNI can be subdivided into six themes: consumption drivers, human pressures, habitat status, species status, nature’s contributions to people, and governance responses. Each theme contains five indicator topics amounting to 30 in total.
