Cuthbert, M.O., Rau, G.C., Ekström, M. et al. Global climate-driven trade-offs between the water retention and cooling benefits of urban greening. Nat Commun
Objective:
- Propose a conceptual, data-driven, screening-level analysis to understand and quantitatively estimate the comparative retention and cooling potential of urban greening across a global geographic extent
Case:
- Global grid
Methodology:
- European Medium Weather Forecast model
Data Source
- Greening
Findings:
- Aridity is a robust indicator of the relative performance of a given urban greening intervention
