Urban biodiversity programme (trees, wildflowers, green roofs, wildlife corridors, green community projects)

Investing in urban biodiversity supports climate resilience and ecosystem health by reducing the environmental impacts of food systems, such as greenhouse gas emissions and land use, as demonstrated by studies showing lower GHGE and land use in plant-based diets compared to omnivorous diets. This aligns with the need for sustainable dietary patterns that reduce biodiversity loss and support healthier ecosystems, as highlighted in the evidence on the benefits of Mediterranean and vegetarian diets.
