Indian cities are currently facing high challenges because of growing urbanization and the impacts of climate change. And there is a lack of understanding on using urban green spaces for climate adaptation and mitigation. This article highlights urban green spaces as a cost effective measure for climate adaptation. Following a review of global literature, it also recommends best practices in green space planning for the conservation of urban biodiversity, climate change adaptation, disaster risk management and enhancement of ecosystem services for Indian cities. The article proposes that there should be guidelines for urban planners and foresters on green space planning, by using integrated approaches that meet the social and ecological needs of the cities.
