At Greening Africa, every small step we take is rooted in a vision: a vision where our continent thrives in harmony with nature. Together, we are not just planting trees but also planting hope, nurturing communities, and building resilience against climate change. 💡 Did you know? Africa loses 4 million hectares of forest every year to deforestation. This is why reforestation and sustainable land management are at the heart of our mission. ✅ Join us today:   Volunteer to plant trees 🌳   Contribute to our campaigns   Share our story Together, let’s green the future of Africa! 🌟 #sustainability #reforestation #GreeningAfrica #climateaction

For a cost of just $6.50 per person, the Colombian city of Medellín has cut its average temperature by 2°C with the help of "Green Corridors". What are Green Corridors? "Green Corridors” are lines of trees and plants that cost a total of $16.3 million to put in place and $625,000 a year to maintain. Why are cities heating up faster than rural areas? Cities heat up faster than rural areas primarily due to the urban heat island (UHI) effect. This phenomenon occurs because urban environments, with their dense infrastructure of buildings and roads, absorb and re-emit more heat than natural landscapes. Factors contributing to this include: - Material Properties - Urban materials like asphalt and concrete retain heat better than vegetation. - Human Activity - Heat generated from vehicles, industrial processes, and air conditioning adds to urban temperatures. - Reduced Vegetation - Less greenery in cities means less evaporative cooling, leading to higher temperatures, especially at night. What are the ways to reduce temperatures in cities? - Increase urban greenery (trees, parks, green spaces) - Use reflective and light-colored materials for roofs and pavements - Implement blue infrastructure (ponds, rivers, water bodies) - Promote green roofs and walls - Optimize urban design and planning for shade and ventilation - Reduce human-generated heat (encourage fans over air conditioning, use efficient cooling systems) With temperatures rising across the globe, such initiatives are critically important. #decarbonisation #green #greencorridors #sustainablecities #sustainability Visual: 023

We are on a mission to green schools in Uganda from 2024-2030 https://lnkd.in/dAziijKv. For just £1, we will plant two trees in schools across the country. Our project goes beyond just planting trees - we aim to educate and inspire students to take action in conservation efforts, including preserving existing trees and supporting pollinators. Your donation will not only help us purchase trees, but also ensure the smooth operation of our organization and fund awareness campaigns. Please use the link above to donate and support our cause. Thank you.

Indigenous trees play a crucial role in carbon sequestration due to their ability to store increasing amounts of carbon as they mature. Their extensive root systems and natural adaptation to local environments enhance their sequestration capabilities. #sustainability #gpi2050
