Abstract

Extreme weather events are occurring with greater intensity due to climate change. A common road map represented in 17 sustainable development goals, or SDGs which was accepted by the United Nations to overcome climate change through SDG 13 which is climate action in an effort to tackle climate change and its impacts instantly. Vertical greenery systems, or VGSs, can benefit both cities and buildings by lowering energy use, pollution discharged into receiving waters, and air pollution. The Authors adopted a data collection strategy to review the VGS, and their types while focusing on SDG 13 & its main targets. The Authors then adopted case study analysis through analyzing five case studies to review the types & impacts of VGS implemented in the projects, to conclude how VGS can be used as an approach to achieve SDG 13 through studying the main aspects of VGS. The Authors then adopted a data analysis strategy through conducting an online questionnaire aimed at investigating the most important aspect of VGS & its impact on targets of SDG 13, evaluating the impact of VGS on achieving each target of SDG 13, ranking the aspects of VGS according to their impact on achieving SDG 13, and lastly, arranging the targets according to its importance in achieving SDG 13 through the usage of VGS. The Authors concluded a prospected framework concerning the usage of VGS in order to achieve SDG 13.
