Tree planting reduces Columbian city’s temperatures by 2%

If we can keep our city cooler we need less air conditioning. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20230922-how-medellin-is-beating-the-heat-with-green-corridors

Points

It's a simple concept, and one that makes logical sense. Trees absorb solar radiation and retain moisture and carbon.

Clayton council ran a program for residents to plant native trees in nature strip and advice was available to promote the correct choice, etc

Trees have a positive impact on CO2 levels and canopies reduce heat. Roots prevent erosion,

This is a simple yet effective approach to combating our cities urban heat. Absorbs Co2 and shades dark color, heat absorbing surfaces and structures. Also provides a great living environment.
