Planting more trees in cities could prove to be an important step towards reducing the number of deaths that occur due to high temperatures in summer months, a new study has found

PLANTING MORE TREES in cities could prove to be an important step towards reducing the number of deaths that occur due to high temperatures in summer months, a new study has found.

Of 6,700 premature deaths that were attributed to higher temperatures in cities during 2015, one-third could have been prevented by upping urban tree cover to 30%, the study found. “This study is the largest of its kind and the first to specifically look at premature mortality caused by higher temperatures in cities and the number of deaths that could be prevented by increasing tree cover,” she said.
