Trees provide shade that can help reduce the temperature in urban areas, including Delhi, by blocking direct sunlight and providing cooling effects.
They release oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide, helping to improve air quality and reduce the heat-trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
The process of transpiration from trees can help cool the surrounding air, acting as a natural air conditioning system.
Urban trees can also reduce the urban heat island effect by lowering surface and air temperatures through shading and evapotranspiration.
By creating green spaces, trees contribute to overall well-being by providing a sense of relief, tranquility, and mental health benefits during heatwaves.
By planting and maintaining more trees in Delhi, the city can mitigate the impact of heatwaves and create a more sustainable and livable urban environment.
