Far more than a list of species and their status, it is a powerful tool to inform and catalyze action for biodiversity conservation and policy change, critical to protecting the natural resources we need to survive.

Urban greening involves the relationship between the urban natural environment(including the air, water, soil, wildlife and vegetation) and the urban built environment(including urban buildings, transportation systems, energy systems, and other components necessary to support modern urban living). Urban greening policy initiatives can incorporate topics such as : brownfield redevelopment; green building efforts; green and living streets initiatives; solid waste management; urban agriculture; urban energy sources and renewable energy initiatives; urban greenways and trail systems; urban open space and park systems; urban forestry; watershed and urban water management; or wildlife habitat and management. 1, record 4, English, - urban%20greening

L'exemple souvent cité pour illustrer le "no-regret policy" est celui de cette stratégie qui, pour mettre un frein au réchauffement planétaire, propose de réduire la consommation d'énergie fossile. Même si, éventuellement, cette solution ne permettait pas de freiner substantiellement le réchauffement climatique, les économies d'énergie non renouvelable réalisés en appliquant cette solution constitueraient un pas important dans la bonne direction. En conséquence les décideurs n'auraient rien à se reprocher. À l'inverse, une stratégie risquée en serait une mettant de l'avant une solution qui, si elle se révélait inefficace pour résoudre le problème, retournerait tout simplement les décideurs à la case départ avec un échéancier plus court. 1, record 6, French, - politique%20du%20sans%20reproche
