dc.description.abstractGlobally, cities have become hubs for economic activity, productivity, and important platforms for achieving sustainable development goals. The potential of urban agriculture (UA) in improving urban local economies and urban micro-climate has been acknowledged in the literature. The study looked at how the concepts of UA, local economic development (LED) and climate change can be treated in unison. Based on the review of credible published papers on the various concepts of UA, LED, and climate change and nature-based solutions (NBS), a proposed conceptual framework was developed in this paper, showing the linkages. The paper established that UA could boost LED, build resilient urban settlements, and promote social inclusiveness, but with social challenges. It is therefore recommended that policymakers make UA a crucial aspect of their agenda in the coming years to address the local economic and climate challenges now and in the future.en_US
