Wetland City is a  designation under the Convention on Wetlands. A new website has launched in English and Spanish with impressive resources to inform civil society and local governments what it means to be a Wetland City and how to become one.

The focus is on Latin America and the Caribbean but the many of the resources apply globally. Download the infographics, or share the videos with experts on their experiences creating official Wetland Cities.
