#GreenCorridors are a multifunctional #NBS 🌳🌦️
Their average #carbonsequestration rate is between 0.5 ± 0.3 tons CO2 per ha per year, depending on the habitat structure and the plants growth rate 🌿🐿️♻️

Daylighting covered watercourses creates more space for the river, which in turn increases the storage capacity of the channel and decreases the risk for #floods 🌧️

Research from Athens University shows that when transforming 80–90% of the roofs in a city to #greenroofs, they can reduce the average ambient temperature between 0.3°C and 3°C.

Green corridors can regulate heat depending on the height and density of the tree canopies 🌳🏘️🌡️
A #treecanopy reduces the #temperature in the shade by 1–5°C compared to an open area, and by 11–17°C compared to a parking lot.
