Cities, Pigeons and Making Peace with Nature
Are cities doomed to be grey and overheated, or can nature help them thrive? In the final episode of this season of Nature Unheard, Rachael Barza and Emma Bentley explore how nature-based solutions are transforming urban life. From persistent pigeons at London tube stations to flood-prone rivers in Moldova, and from mangrove forests in the Philippines to goose festivals in Hungary, this episode shows how working with nature can cool our streets, protect our homes and reconnect us with the wild, even in the middle of the city. Featuring Ingrid Coetzee of ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability, and a special soundbite from the EBRD’s work on the River Bîc in Chișinău, supported by the Green Climate Fund (GCF) as part of our Green Cities programme.

Can AI Outsmart the Weather?
From sudden downpours to extreme storms, the weather is changing fast. In this episode of Nature Unheard, hosts Rachael Barza and Emma Bentley look at how artificial intelligence is reshaping weather forecasting and ask why faster, smarter predictions matter for climate resilience, cities and nature. This episode features insights from Carlo Buontempo of the Copernicus Climate Change Service, as well as looking at EBRD projects in Mongolia and showcasing the work of EBRD client Rainbow AI. The EBRD’s projects in Mongolia were supported by EBRD donors: Austria, the Green Climate Fund (GCF), and Japan (through the EBRD’s Green Cities programme). And our client Rainbow AI has also received support from the European Union.

Clean Water: Too Much, Too Little, Too Dirty
We drink it, swim in it and depend on it, yet we rarely think about it until something goes wrong. In this episode of Nature Unheard, we’re joined by Katrina Charles, Professor of Environmental Health Risks at Oxford University, and Dr Saskia Nowicki, Senior Research Associate, to explore why clean freshwater is so easy to take for granted, and what it will take to protect it in a changing climate. Supported by Czechia, Switzerland and the Global Environment Facility (GEF).
