    The main objective of the action programme and of the “FAO Green Cities Initiative” is to increase people’s wellbeing through better availability of and access to products and services provided by urban and peri‐urban forestry, agriculture and food systems. This action plans describes how FAO's Green Cities initiative will improve the livelihoods and well-­being of urban and peri-­urban populations of 1000 cities around the world by 2030, improving the urban environment, strengthening urban-rural linkages, the resilience of urban populations to external shocks and contributing to climate change mitigation and adaptation while ensuring access to healthy diets from sustainable systems. The plan describes ways in which local governments and communities will have the capacity to develop and implement context-­specific strategies, actions and investment plans for the integrated design and management of resilient and sustainable multifunctional green infrastructure and food systems to ensure that green technologies, innovation and investments are scaled up.

    On the road of COP26, complementing the Glasgow Food and Climate declaration as well as some key exchanges during the UNFSS pre-summit, FAO proposed a side event to discuss what is new in the integrated approach of Forestry, Agriculture and Food at the city level. This approach is at the core of the FAO Green Cities Initiative launched in 2020 by its Director-General. Presentations of a panel discussion aimed at sharing inspiring insights of African cities in line with the Green Cities Initiative and stimulate a discussion on challenges and solutions to promote green and resilient cities. This presentation stresses how the Agri-food system and green spaces of Kisumu city-county contribute to building the city food resilience.
