Many cities are now making efforts to improve green spaces and boost the number of trees on their streets and in parks. Here's how the mass planting of trees could transform our cities and tackle air pollution.
Hubs of culture, politics and finance, the cities many of us call home can, at times, be hard to live in.
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN, for instance, has stated that one tree can absorb as much as 150 kilograms of carbon dioxide annually. It has also described "large urban trees" as being "excellent filters for urban pollutants and fine particulates." "A city like Melbourne realized that trees are an essential way of keeping your city liveable and also adapting it to climate change," Cecil Konijnendijk, from the University of British Columbia's Faculty of Forestry, told CNBC's Sustainable Energy. "So they really integrated urban forestry into their development."
"The main thing that trees do actually, they help cool the city. So by cooling the city we know there is less need, for example, for air conditioning costs," Konijnendijk added.
