A new global study is offering one of the clearest pictures yet of how much trees contribute to cooler cities.​

By examining urban areas around the world, researchers from The Nature Conservancy and partner institutions gained new insight into the role tree canopy plays in reducing heat and improving human comfort. ​

The findings reinforce something many communities already recognize: Trees are more than part of the landscape. They are essential infrastructure that can create healthier, more resilient cities, and they're a practical tool for helping communities adapt to rising temperatures.​
