Urban Foresta 2030: mitigate climate change and reduce CO2
This revegetation action is framed within the Urban Forestry Strategy 2030 of the City of Murcia, the roadmap that will mark the urban environmental and landscape planning over the next decade, and that will double the number of existing trees in the set of the municipality, reaching 200,000 copies.
Trees in urban environments mitigate the effects of climate change and lower CO2, provide shade, decrease temperature, favor biodiversity, improve health and beautify the landscape.
