The needs and requirements of (city)governments and international organisations for the monitoring of UPAF impacts and the use of such data in climate change strategies

The document examines how urban and peri-urban agriculture and forestry (UPAF) are integrated into climate change action plans and the specific monitoring data required by city governments and international organisations to finance and implement these interventions. It highlights that climate change, combined with the loss of urban green cover, threatens infrastructure and quality of life, while rapid urban growth and climate-driven agricultural disruptions increase food insecurity for the urban poor.

• Climate change, coupled with a reduction in urban green cover such as parks, trees, and agricultural surfaces, creates significant threats to the urban economy, quality of life, access to basic services, and urban infrastructure.
• Urban areas face heightened vulnerability to disruptions in critical food supplies, a situation exacerbated by climate change and factors such as increasing food prices, growing urban poverty, and rapid urban growth.
• The report assesses the requirements for monitoring UPAF impacts to facilitate the integration of these interventions into climate change financing and action plans, as well as the current level of integration within international and local strategies.
