Original caption

New York City has unveiled its first-ever Urban Forest Plan, setting a goal of increasing tree canopy from around 23% today to 30% by 2040. Officials say expanding the city's tree cover will help cool neighborhoods during extreme heat, improve air quality and tackle long-standing inequalities in access to green space. The plan prioritises planting and protecting trees in communities that currently have the least shade, with progress set to be tracked over the next 15 years. #nyc #nature #mamdani #news #newyork
