Beth Karani: Five years ago hii area ilikuwa dumping site, tukaanzisha tree nursery na kusafisha mto.
Saa hii maji ni safi, na msitu ndio huu.

Every year (around March/April and October) the City is treated to the spectacular views of the Tabebuia Rosea a.k.a Cherry Blossom/Pink Poui.
Anyone knows what this tree is called in any of our local languages?

The solution is simple: demolish some buildings constructed in the water catchment area around those flooding hotspots. Then, remove the marum they deposited there and allow the area to regenerate. We shall have no floods again. You clearly construct your house in a water park, or basin, or catchment. Where do you expect water to go, knowing it doesn't forget its way or territory? – at Kampala, Uganda

🧑🤝🧑 providing alternative livelihoods for people

Across borders, beyond status, trees bring people together.
It’s an especially hopeful reminder this holiday season, that people can agree on trees and the gifts they give to the planet for lifetimes to come. ✨🌲

On average, open public spaces account for a meagre 3.2% of urban land yet they play a crucial role in creating sustainable urban environments 🏙️
Universal access to safe, inclusive and accessible, green and public spaces must not left behind as our cities build for the future.

Urban areas with trees can be as much as 15(!!!) degrees cooler Fahrenheit than areas with less foliage ☀️🌳🌡

Think cities can't breathe?
Urban forestry is our unsung hero, turning grey to green, slashing stress, cleaning air and water AND fighting off urban heat like an eco-shield.
Let's champion our leafy warriors and transform our concrete jungles.

Shuffling to the starting line of @COP28_UAE feels just like starting line of a marathon. But this race to save our #Climate has much higher stakes & we need to 🏃♂️ MUCH faster. I’m here to push the 🌎 to match 🇺🇸’s big sprint on #Forests4Climate, including #TreeEquity for 🌆.

Forests and cities, are they polar opposite? Not for Cecil Konijnendijk. He is Global Urban Forester and co-director of the Nature Based Solutions, a think tank for the greening of cities. He has advised governments and international organizations such as the United Nations.
