As a way of contributing to the fight against climate change, the city of Geneva has adopted an ambitious revegetation strategy, which is complimented by several other city-wide programmes designed to favour biodiversity in the city’s urban green spaces. Notable highlights include the landscaping of forested corridors that will allow different species to move around and interact, while also reducing urban heat islands during the hot summer months, fixing atmospheric CO2, and helping attenuate city noise.
