Short description

Entitled “Carbon in Urban Soils,” this project has demonstrated the importance and relevance of focusing on the issue of organic carbon sequestration in urban soils, which include not only highly anthropized soils, but also pseudo-natural soils and soils still in agricultural use within urbanized areas. The project has also shown that, in conjunction with agglomeration projects at cantonal level, local urban redevelopment operations (i.e., redevelopment of existing neighborhoods, spaces or infrastructures, in particular to adapt them to climate change – as opposed to development of new portions of city on agricultural land or natural areas) have the potential to protect and regenerate soils, and thus enhance their organic carbon sequestration function. Together with water regulation, such action on urban soils’ organic carbon sequestration function thus improves the contribution of the urban environment to climate change mitigation and adaptation.
