Global warming and associated climatic changes are no more quite distant concerns that are to be actively discussed and debated only in the environmental forums by scientists; nor those are extremely unlikely scenarios portrayed by overly sensitive activists. Its severe impact, as cautioned for long by these visionaries, has started engulfing this lovely planet, getting increasingly obvious to each and every inhabitant in a startling forms and at an alarming pace.

Climate change has significant potential to influence distribution of many species and alter ecosystems. With the current rate of projected environmental change for the 21^st century, urgent adaptation and mitigation measures are required to slow down the impact of climate change on biodiversity. Several studies have shown that recent human-induced environmental changes have already triggered species range shifts, changes in phenology and species extinctions.

What should we do?

Compensate for all the wrong doing; reduce CO₂ emissions, reduce the heat absorbed by the earth and atmosphere, increase the water content of the soil, improve the water table.

Is there a Simple Solution?

Yes – there is one simple solution to achieve all the above and reverse the trend – Increase the global green canopy – the only effective way to combat global warming and climate change.

The green canopy:

• Regulates regional and global climate
• Acts as the principal site of the interchange of heat, water vapour and atmospheric gases
• Collects solar energy
• Shields from harsh and intense sunlight, drying winds and heavy rainfall
• Retains the moisture of the soil
• Boosts the water table

GLOBAL URBAN CANOPY

An urban forestry initiative

Global Urban Canopy is an urban forestry and green technologies company. We are a unique network of forestry, agriculture and project management professionals sharing an intensive passion towards greenery and afforestation, having decades of experience in government sponsored afforestation and farming programs.

Motivated by several success stories across the globe and convinced that Urban Afforestation is the need of the hour which offers the perfect plausible solution to the imminent danger of global warming and climate change, we came together to form “Global Urban Canopy”.

We partner with institutional and individual clients offering unique solutions to transform their immediate vicinities into an ecological paradise and thus play a meaningful role in this global initiative for increasing green canopy.
