Cities are the habitat of numerous people, animals and plants. Due to their complexity and high spatial concentration, they play a major role in climate protection worldwide. Climate protection in urban areas includes all measures that contribute to slowing down and combating climate change. A main component of this is the design of multifunctional, resilient green infrastructures. To ensure this, we address site-specific plant selection, carbon sequestration through green infrastructures, and multiple uses of green spaces.

Project CliMax 

2022-2025

Maximizing carbon sequestration in urban trees (CliMax)

The project “Maximizing the carbon sequestration in urban trees (CliMax): Developing knowledge and tools for climate change mitigation and adaptation with multifunctional urban green infrastructure” is a collaboration between the JKI Institute for Plant Protection in Horticulture and Urban Green, the JKI Institute for Strategies and Technology Assessment, and the Technische Universität Braunschweig with the Institute of Geoecology and the Institute of Geophysics and Extraterrestrial Physics.
