About RegionsWithNature

Regional/subnational governments – such as provinces, states and prefectures – need a dedicated space to support their nature ambitions and to enhance multi-level governance for nature. RegionsWithNature is the place for regions and their partners to make their voices heard, to share their experiences, and to showcase their commitments towards achieving national and global biodiversity targets.

All governments have an important role to play in nature conservation around the world. The RegionsWithNature platform for engagement and action by regional and subnational governments is not only a tool for reporting our efforts in this area, but also a powerful lever to strengthen the leadership and capacity for action of federated states. The Gouvernement du Québec is proud to support RegionsWithNature and to join forces with other governments to contribute meaningfully to achieving the targets of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework by 2030.

Nature can’t wait — and neither can we. Cities and regions are on the frontline of the biodiversity and climate crisis, driving real change where it matters most. While CitiesWithNature is already a thriving platform, RegionsWithNature is now growing fast to meet the urgent need for sharing, learning and transformative action at the regional level. Together with our partners, we’re building a powerful global community of subnational governments — from states to provinces and prefectures — ready to connect and act for nature. We call on all regions to join this movement, share their commitments, and help shape a more sustainable, nature-positive future for all.

Local and regional governments bridge the critical gap between (inter)national policy and local action. RegionsWithNature provides subnational leaders with a platform to measure, showcase, and accelerate their contributions and leadership towards fulfilling the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework goals.

Protecting and restoring nature is not just about preserving landscapes and wildlife—it is about securing our future. A unified platform to showcase regional commitments is essential to translating global biodiversity goals into local action. RegionsWithNature empowers subnational governments to lead the way in building a nature-positive world. The European Committee of the Regions is dedicated to amplifying these efforts, ensuring that Europe’s diverse territories cultivate resilient ecosystems for generations to come.
