Cities concentrate global development through different economic activities. However, currently urban processes are highly intensive in terms emission of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The reduction of these emissions is a global concern that has triggered the transition to low carbon systems. Thus, it is imperative to implement technologies of endogenous resources in urban subsystems that can deal with the energy-water–food nexus. Therefore, this dissertation has two main objectives. On the one hand, to determine the selfsufficiency factor in energy, water and food to strengthen their respective security. On the other hand, the establishment of a quantification framework to calculate GHG emission reductions with respect to the current situation. The importance of this study is based on an effort to decentralize the supply of energy, water and food in urban environments, reducing the dependence on external sources. For this, the underutilization of rooftops was identified as a potential vector to generate endogenous resources in cities. Three cities (i.e., Ica, Ayacucho and Pucallpa) were selected for analysis, each of them representing a particular climatic region of Peru. These cities were deemed representative because they are in the climatic regions where most of the Peruvian population is concentrated. Hence, they were characterized by their demand and supply through data of incident solar energy, temperature, precipitation and water, electricity and food consumption. Subsequently, based on land registry plans, ArcGis 10.3 quantify the surface of available rooftops. As the final step to obtain the real potential, correction factors were applied by area and efficiency. The results indicate that endogenous resources allow meeting the demand of electricity, water and horticulture products. In addition, environmental analysis using Life Cycle Assessment with the IPCC 2013 assessment method showed that there is a significant reduction of GHG emissions, which varies in each city due to the particular electric mix of comparison. Finally, through the sensitivity analysis, particular values that certain parameters of urban growth should keep are determined in order to secure the safety between the urban nexus and the environmental sustainability.
