Moment EP03: Pocket Forests are a proven way to help cities combat the urban heat island effect.

Our cities are heating up, and fast. Rising global temperatures means the urban heat island effect in our cities will be amplified. Trees are a proven way to help cities combat this growing issue. On this excerpt of ⁠SUGi Talks⁠ we speak to Dr. Grey Coupland. Grey is our lead scientist at SUGi, and she holds the key to the rich data behind our Pocket Forests. With a PhD in ecology, her most recent work is dedicated to investigating the use and effectiveness of Miyawaki forests in cities, specifically their impact on cooling, biodiversity and wellbeing. Together we’ll speak about the hard data our Miyawaki Forests.  Thank you Dr. Grey.
