This image shows a black and white view of tall trees, likely a forest, looking up toward the sky. The trees are silhouetted against a cloudy sky, giving the image a dramatic and moody atmosphere.

"It's important to recognize the climate benefits of having trees with #UrbanCooling. It's measurable. With more severely hot days it's important people are able to escape that heat. Streets with a canopy are much more cool than untried streets, getting back to equity & health."

"In 1881, land here was set aside for a reserve forest," writes Sugato Mukherjee.
"In the decades that followed, however, many wrongs were committed, including a devastating decision to run a 1.6-kilometre railway track through the sanctuary, essentially dividing it in half.
"But the latest chapter is one of hope for both the gibbons and their forest-dwelling neighbours – thanks to rewilding."

Mapping Sydney’s Microclimates to Combat Impacts of Rising Heat
200 bespoke temperature gauges have been strategically positioned across #Sydney to accurately measure local heat island effects and help prepare the community for hotter summers.
The City of Sydney has set a goal to be net zero by 2035. It aims to increase tree canopy cover to 27%, and green cover to 40% by 2050.
“Sydney is one of the most liveable cities in the world but we need to prepare now for our future climate so we can all adapt and thrive.”
