‘Vital to plant the right type of trees at the right location’

Green effort: Trees can help mitigate climate change.

PETALING JAYA: Urban planners will have one more tool at their disposal when it comes to choosing the right kind of trees to be planted to mitigate the effects of climate change. Think City, with the support of Penang Island City Council and EIT Climate-KIC, has unveiled the Atlas of Climate Resilient Trees (ACResT).

ACResT is a platform that serves as a depository of information about tree species that are suited for various places as a guide for city planners and landscapers.
