How do we utilize green space in cities to combat climate change?

The heating up of our planet is something that can no longer be ignored. From large and frequent fires and hurricanes to a global pandemic, our planet is speaking to us in extreme ways. Learn from BU experts Lucy Hutyra, Associate Professor of Earth & Environment and Pamela Templer, Professor of Biology, how green space in cities creates cooler temperatures and helps the environment. Parks, wetlands, yards and street trees reduce pollution from cars and other human activities in cities, which makes air cleaner and healthier for its residents.
