Facing Climate Change: Urban Gardening and Sustainable …

1. Removal of the maximum greenhouse effective gases, specifically methane,
carbon dioxide, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, particulates and nucleoids
2. Decreasing causes of greenhouse gas emissions.
Urban gardens, including street trees, public gardens, recreation parks and greenbelts especially that designed around the industrial areas can help mitigation of
climate change. Additionally, include non-public gardens of a wide variety in or
outside residential privacy, and modern or new gardens along with one-of-a-kind
sorts of vertical gardens. New plant species stand up in these situations. The soil in
gardens is a reminder that things can change.
20 Recommendations
Based on the identification of the United Nations of factors affecting climate change,
and the scientific information on the modern environmental roles of plants, both
in the elimination of one or more of the causes of global warming in addition to
absorption of different radiation and its role in reducing air temperature. Also, water
professionals count on rapidly increasing water stress and water scarcity. To cope with
those demanding situations, there may be a need for the creation of social corporations
so one can work in partnership with governments and the international community
on mitigating climate change by way of growing sustainable urban gardens. Urban
agriculture additionally provides social, environmental and educational advantages
to residents.
So, the main recommendations of this work is to place out the advantages of
urban agriculture for reducing climate change and preserving sustainable urban
environments, and a few advisees, briefly are below:
1. Municipality planning and landscape gardeners in conjunction with the Ministry
of the Environmental Affairs have to review planning methods and undertake
scientific foundations while choosing garden plants and verifying non-emission
farming structures that may be harmful to the environment when dealing with
soil during soil preparing for agriculture.
2. Look for ways or means to change the plants that are not environmentally friendly
plants, with no harm to the soil.
3. Climate change affects and is affected by all countries, but its treatment must
begin with the actions of individuals, which requires the provision of appropriate
means of awareness in urban communities.
4. Gardeners should not lose sight of the importance of reducing water consumption, at least through selecting C 4 and CAM plants for their low water needs.
Taking into consideration their environmental importance and their efficiency in
eliminating greenhouse gases.
5. Reduces climate change as urban agriculture contributes to the prevention of the
over-heating of city environments (Urban Heat Islands).
6. Urban agriculture offers proper land control and use for urbanized areas.
