🌳 Trees can cool cities down: but not all trees, and not everywhere, equally.

A global study across 110 cities shows cooling depends on 🌡️ climate, 🏙️ urban layout & 🌳 species.
Some lower temperatures by 12 °C!

RT @UNDPGhana: #Ghana is working towards a more sustainable future by integrating nature into its economic plans.
 
Following the Nature Transitions Support Programme (#NTSP) inception workshop, where Ghana's research priorities were selected, @UNDP together with the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), and @unepwcmc held a virtual progress workshop to review how Ghana's economy can thrive while protecting nature. The research highlights potential solutions on:
 
✅ Sustainable agriculture that's good for crops and climate
✅ Community-led conservation to protect nature
✅ Green spaces in cities for a healthier environment
✅ Responsible mining that's better for all
 
These insights will inform a roadmap for economic transformation while protecting the environment and benefiting local communities.

🌾 Grasslands store about 90% of their carbon belowground, compared to just 23% in forests. This makes them an important, often overlooked carbon sink.

🌾Grasslands play a vital role in climate mitigation, yet they are often undervalued in carbon strategies. While forests store most of their carbon aboveground, grasslands retain nearly 90% of theirs belowground, making this carbon more stable and less vulnerable to loss during events like drought or fire.

Emerging research also suggests grasslands may store more carbon than currently estimated, particularly in deep soil layers.

Urban greenery makes city life more pleasant – and could save your life 🌳🏙️

A @MonashUni study in @TheLancet finds that increasing vegetation by 30% could’ve prevented 1.16M heat-related deaths (2000–2019).

Did you know the degradation & loss of forests reduces their ability to provide healthy soils for agriculture?

#NaturebasedSolutions such as forest landscape restoration can reverse the effects of deforestation and degradation.
