This groundbreaking report provides London-specific future climate suitability scores for over 100 species based on conditions anticipated for 2090 - around 65 years from now - and sets out key recommendations to help us protect the trees that protect us from the impacts of climate change.
Future Climate Suitability Assessment of London’s Public Realm Trees
To make it easier for all partnership members to integrate future climate suitability into planning and management, the Greater London Authority has also published an update to the London Public Realm Tree Map. The prototype version, live today, includes species and location data for over 1.1 million public trees, along with 2090 climate suitability scores. The interface has been enhanced for easier filtering and viewing at different scales. In the coming weeks, we’ll add a more advanced reporting tool and contextual overlays such as canopy cover and Index of Multiple Deprivation data.
