Featured speaker We Don't Have TimePlanting more trees in cities could cut deaths from summer heat in the European cities.
A recent study done by the lead author Tamara Iungman, from the Barcelona Institute for Global Health, suggested the increasing heat in European region needs urgent action to curb recent experience caused by extreme temperature fluctuations caused by climate change.
She further said “We already know that high temperatures in urban environments are associated with negative health outcomes, such as cardiorespiratory failure, hospital admission, and premature death.”
Her team wants to influence policymakers to make cities greener, “more sustainable, resilient and healthy” as well as mitigating climate breakdown, she added, since heat-related illness and death are expected to present an even bigger burden to health services over the next decade than cold temperatures.

Trees give off oxygen that we need to breathe. Trees reduce the amount of storm water runoff, which reduces erosion and pollution in our waterways and may reduce the effects of flooding

Trees make our environment more habitable supporting life. This could be more facinating and remedy to effects caused by climate change.

Planting strategical species, especially native ones, will at the same time increase biodiversity in cities, making up to some degree for loss of habitat in other areas.

It should be a goal for every city coz almost every city is affected by the unpredicted heat patterns,

It's important to note that while planting trees can have a positive impact on mitigating the effects of heat, it's not a silver bullet solution. Other factors such as the design of buildings and public spaces, access to air conditioning, and the provision of adequate healthcare also play important roles in addressing the issue of heat-related health risks.

The trees will clean the air and remove impurities. The heat waves are really serious.
