Paris plants trees to reduce temperatures

 

 The city wants to plant 170,000 new trees by 2026 as part of plans to make Paris more resilient to global warming. In 2022, Paris had its hottest July on record, as climate change makes heatwaves more frequent and intense. Trees can reduce local temperatures in cities by up to 12˚C. #paris #trees #climatechange #globalwarming #france

Planting more trees in European cities could reduce heat deaths by 40%

 

 Urban greening can really save lives, a study has found. Planting more trees in European cities could reduce heat deaths by 40%. By providing shade for people, pavements, and buildings. Researchers looked at 93 European cities, with an average tree cover of 15% (That means the percentage of the city covered in trees). They found that increasing tree cover to 30% would lower average temperatures by 0.4°C. Hot weather can produce an ‘urban heat island’ effect in cities with a lack of greenery, which is when asphalt, steel, and concrete absorb and retain heat, pushing the ambient temperature to dangerous highs. Watch the video to learn more about how urban greening can help tackle the urban heat island effect in cities. #urbangreen #trees #hotweather #heatwaves #plantingtrees
