Active matter is a new kind of soft matter relevant to describe numerous biological problems with manifold realizations in two dimensions. I will discuss several intriguing aspects of its phase behavior including the melting of an active solid (with special emphasis on the role of topological defects) and the mechanisms leading to motility induced phase separation.
