WHY DOES URBAN NATURE DELIVER SOCIAL VALUE?
Regulate temperaturesÂ
Around the world, the “urban heat island” effect is causing cities to warm 29% faster than rural areas. This is already having a profound effect on the UK’s 84% urban population, with the 2022 summer heatwave said to cause an excess of 3k deaths.Â
By supporting urban greening initiatives, you will deliver tangible impact on the health and wellbeing of millions of vulnerable UK urban citizens.
Improve health and wellbeing
A growing body of research indicates that exposure to nature has proven benefits on physical and mental health and wellbeing. This is especially true in urban environments, where the lack of nature disproportionately affects lower income populations.  By supporting urban greening initiatives, you will help restore “nature equity” for all.
Preserve biodiversity
Our planet is experiencing the biggest mass extinction of biodiversity in the history of mankind. It is widely acknowledged that we have a window of 10 years to regenerate ecosystems and prevent irreversible biodiversity loss.
The problem is most critical in urban environments, which break down vital corridors and habitats for fauna and flora.
By supporting urban greening initiatives, you will help protect and restore the lives of thousands of species of birds, mammals, insects and funghi.Â
