Planting billions of trees across the world is one of the biggest and cheapest ways of taking CO2 out of the atmosphere to tackle the climate crisis, according to scientists. You will agree with me that due to the urbanization and infrastructuraldevelopment has pulled down so much tree and don't plant another it has t affected our climate (fact from my country Nigeria Africa) .As trees grow, they absorb and store the carbon dioxide emissions that are driving global heating. New research estimates that a worldwide planting programme could remove two-thirds of all the emissions from human activities that remain in the atmosphere today.
Comprehensive urban forestry planning can influence the everyday lives of citydwellers by reducing storm water runoff, decreasing wildfire risk and severity, reducing urban heat islands.
Urban trees also have the ability to sequester atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and serve as long-term carbon sinks. However, cities seem to be lacking in language and planning to link together various mitigation and adaptation strategies specifically to sequester and store CO2 within urban trees..
we cannot over emphasize the fact that our cities need more trees . I propose to you what i term THE GREEN URBAN . if we start planting trees in our urban areas where all the carbon emissions are generated the trees will be there to absorb them and keep our atmosphere clean and fresh.
