Abstract

Today, Urban Forestry and, more generally, the actions of planting and maintaining forests are at the forefront of the International Agendas. As the pressure towards the climate change effects arises, urban forestry and, more generally, urban greening become an increasingly critical infrastructure and an essential public service (Konijnendijk in Nature-based solutions for more sustainable cities. Emerald Publishing, Bingley, 2021). The essay aims at providing an introductory discussion on the specific challenges related to urban forestry in sub-Saharan Africa, and more specifically to Mozambique, to provide the context of the research to date in the sector of urban forestry in sub-Saharan Africa, and to introduce the discussion on the specific context of the metropolitan area of Maputo, where the pace of development and urbanization, in a changing climate condition, are rapidly deteriorating the overall ecosystem.
