  • Trees vs. heat islands: crafting a cooler urban future through

    Lenka Foltýnová, Climate Resilience SpecialistLenka Foltýnová

    Map of the urban heat island (UHI) with a color scale of surface temperatures ranging from yellow to red to purple, superimposed on the street network and buildings in the central part of the city, showing the degree of overheating during extreme heat.
  • Achieving 30% urban tree canopy cover: best practices for European

    UpGreen tree productivity grid map over aerial imagery, showing citywide spatial variation in tree productivity and vitality using green and yellow square cells, highlighting areas of higher and lower photosynthetic performance for urban greenery management.
  • Protect what already works: mature trees as the fastest canopy

    Jan Závěšický

    Map from the UpGreen audit marking the locations of Lisbon’s highest-value trees with orange dots. These trees provide exceptional ecosystem services—such as cooling, carbon capture, and air purification—based on their size, health, and proximity to populated areas. The spatial distribution highlights priority zones for conservation and illustrates the application of tree value mapping in support of 3-30-300 urban greening targets.
  • Nature Based Solutions: Greening Europe’s Cities for Climate Resilience

    Close-up of fresh water splashing over grass and soil, symbolizing the essential role of water in supporting healthy urban greenery. The image represents the importance of soil moisture and sustainable water management for trees to cool their environment, absorb carbon, and deliver crucial ecosystem services in cities.
  • Why cities are turning to satellite tree mapping

    Illustration of a row of trees changing canopy density and colour, symbolising tree growth stages, seasonality, and long term urban greenery development.
  • Connecting the Dots: How Climate Impact Chains Help Cities See

    Infographic illustrating the concept of Climate Impact Chains — showing how climate hazards (such as heatwaves or drought) trigger cascading impacts on urban systems, health, and the environment. The visual reflects ASITIS’s data-driven approach to understanding climate risks and supporting adaptation strategies for cities and regions.
