Situation
While it may not be at the front of people’s minds, the climate crisis is escalating. We’re seeing shifts in weather patterns that are disrupting ecosystems across the world. But there is still time to act! This is the most important decade ever for the environment, & one of the most effective ways of combating climate change is to empower urban communities to plant trees. Through cultivating lasting relationships with nature within urban communities, we can create urban forests for all, by all.
Solution
Trees for Cities has been transforming urban green spaces for almost three decades, and has played a key role in pioneering urban environmentalism. 80% of the UK's population lives in urban areas, and so there is a huge potential to work with communities in towns and cities. Through this campaign, we can continue to bring the benefits of urban trees straight to the people who need them the most, cultivating lasting connections between urban communities and the nature around them.
