The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has officially opened applications for cities, municipal leaders, and urban organizations worldwide to join the FAO Green Cities Network.
With over 300 cities already participating, this global movement is rapidly expanding to support 1,000 cities by 2030 in developing field-tested, eco-friendly urban solutions.
Core Focus Areas
The network drives real local impact across key sustainability pillars:
- Urban & Peri-Urban Forestry: Expanding green cover and managing urban trees.
- Urban & Peri-Urban Agriculture: Boosting local food security and sustainable farming.
- Biodiversity & Conservation: Safeguarding urban ecosystems and natural habitats.
- Climate Resilience: Building stronger local defenses against climate change.
- Sustainable Urban Planning: Integrating green practices directly into municipal growth.
By joining, your city actively contributes to critical UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including Zero Hunger, Sustainable Cities and Communities, and Climate Action.
