A new report by environmental The Nature Conservancy lays out how trees could pave the way to cleaner air and cooler cities. Using information on forest cover paired with air pollution data and population for 245 cities, researchers found that trees have the biggest health in densely populated, polluted cities like Delhi, Karachi and Dhaka. The Conservancy and the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group presented the findings of their global survey this week at the American Public Health Association meeting in Denver, Colorado.
