Studies show that access to green spaces directly correlates to better mental health, lowers rates of depression, reduces levels of stress and anxiety, and improved cognitive functioning, so it makes sense that it also can be tied to lower rates of gun violence. Unfortunately, access to green spaces is not equitable. Low income communities and underserved, marginalized populations have significantly less access to nature than affluent, white populations while at the same time being disproportionately impacted by climate change and environmental pollution. This needs to change.
Did you ever consider that green spaces can foster collective efficacy, which may reduce violence? This study from the John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health provides evidence that tree canopies and other green spaces correlate with lower gun violence incidences. These are the types of innovative public health approaches that focus on community-based solutions and systemic changes. https://bitly.ws/3cF7M
