Madrid city taking action!
Great example for all global cities to transform now!
- 75 KMs of Urban forest with ~500k new native trees
- Improve air quality in the city + Fight the heat island effect in the city
- Action to mitigate climate change & GHGs (Green House Gases)
- Cities around the world consume two-thirds of the global energy supply and generate three-quarters of the
world's greenhouse emissions
- Some cities are restricting traffic to promote cycling and public transport
+ planting more trees or looking for sustainable sources of energy
- Cities are and will be the most affected by climate change,
but they are also an essential part of the solution.
