Policy Papers & Briefs
February, 2016

도시에서 큰 나무는 오염물질과 미세먼지를 제거하는데 매우 효과적입니다. 나무 한 그루는 공기중의 이산화탄소를 150kg까지 흡수할 수 있어 기후변화를 완화하는 데 기여할 수 있습니다. 나무들은 식물과 동물에게 서식처와 음식을 제공하고 보호함으로써 도시 생물다양성을 증진시킵니다. 미래 세대를 위해 지금 나무를 심어야 합니다.

Además, desempeñan el papel de generadoras de empleo y de ingresos, así como también de productos, bienes y servicios alimentarios adaptados a las exigencias particulares de los consumidores urbanos.
