Fig 2. Schematic diagram illustrating the four interconnected and complementary policy priorities essential for safeguarding and enhancing urban forests.

These include: (1) investing in urban forests as essential and critical living infrastructure for climate resilience and biodiversity; (2) delivering equity and access to ensure all communities benefit from urban forests and greenspaces; (3) mainstreaming urban forests within global and local climate and biodiversity governance frameworks to secure sustained commitments and financing; and (4) strengthening resilience through adaptive management supported by monitoring, community engagement, and diversified nursery supply chains. The framework emphasises the need for integrated legal, financial, and planning mechanisms that recognise urban forests as living infrastructure and critical public assets requiring long-term stewardship. This policy foundation supports thriving, equitable, and climate-adapted urban forests that deliver multiple benefits to current and future urban residents.
