A Liverpool based project that brings nature and development scooped three prizes at an international climate change award ceremony.

The city council's Urban GreenUP project aims to rewild built up areas, improving air and water quality in the process.

So far, it has seen the creation of urban raingardens, green walls and pollinator posts around the city centre, as well as a number of floating islands in the city’s docks and parks.

Pretty cool. I went to Uni in Liverpool in the early 2000s and then it was the last place one would associate with the climate and rewilding. Good to see it turned around.
