The 2024 LIFE award for the TreeCheck project aimed at alleviating the heat in cities

The LIFE TreeCheck project wins the LIFE 2024 award in the Climate Action category for helping Central European cities minimize the effect of urban heat islands and their health impacts using green infrastructure. Among other things, LIFE TreeCheck has developed software to make city planning easier and a public app to identify trees and raise awareness of their heat-reducing potential. The project also brings together knowledge and expertise for new measures, practices and technologies to help cities cope with extreme temperatures. (More on climate-adapt.eea.europa.eu)
