Check up on trees, look after them and create your own tree collection. Using the Tree Check smart application, you can help to cool down our cities. At the same time, you can learn something and have fun whilst you’re at it.
Maybe the tree you planted will provide shade for the inhabitants of the hot city in the future. Maybe the shelter belt you renewed will help retain necessary water.
The climate has always changed over time, but this time it is clear from measurements that human activity is the main contributor to global warming. For this reason, it is necessary to focus on eliminating the cause, ie reducing the concentration of CO2 and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This is a global problem that will require the global involvement and cooperation of each of us.In the Czech Republic, the transition from fossil fuels used in energy to renewable sources and low-carbon energy seems to be crucial. This would bring, among other things, many other benefits, such as improved air quality.
Climate change has many negative consequences that we can already see in our country today. Persistent drought threatening farmers' crops and our forests, declining groundwater levels, tropical days and nights in cities that are becoming uninhabitable. By behaving differently, society can make the effects change. At the same time, however, we must be able to adapt to changing conditions.
Look for the best ideas with us on how to prepare our cities, houses and landscape for climate change!
The international LIFE Tree Check project focuses on tackling urban overheating, ensuring the city does not burn.
With the Tree of the Year and European Tree of the Year contests, we support volunteers throughout Europe in caring for their local trees.
