This report is for CLUVA Deliverable 2.6, “International evidence of the ecosystem
services of urban green infrastructure in different climate zones”, part of Task 2.2
on urban ecosystems. This activity is primarily an initial literature review of existing
work on urban ecosystem services. It collects an evidence base of international
case studies, which assess the urban ecosystem services of green space. This
report accompanies the excel database of international evidence of ecosystem
services. It synthesises the evidence collected in case studies and a wider
literature review, and identifies the key existing evidence, evidence gaps and core
themes relevant to the CLUVA case study cities, to inform the analytical stages of
task 2.2.
