Abstract
The UN Strategy for Sustainable Urban Development was analyzed taking into account different approaches to assessing biodiversity, ecosystem services, anthropogenic factors and climate change. The City Biodiversity Index or Singapore Index on City Biodiversity (CBI) was used to assess the biodiversity of Moscow. The Singapore index comprises three core sections: 1) native biodiversity, 2) ecosystem services, and 3) governance. 21 indicators have been selected. Each indicator has specific evaluation criteria with a maximum score of 4 points. Data from the Department of Nature Management and Environmental Protection of the City of Moscow, literature sources and the results of social surveys of parks were used to calculate the index. Indicators including estimates of specially protected natural areas, natural and green areas of the city, the number of native and invasive plant species, the diversity of birds, butterflies and other species were calculated.
