About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

I created Promoting Green Resilient Spaces to address the urgent need for sustainable, adaptable environments in response to climate change and urbanization. As cities continue to grow, the demand for eco-friendly, resilient spaces becomes crucial to ensure the well-being of communities, protect natural resources, and mitigate environmental risks.

What does your innovation look like in practice?

In practice, Promoting Green Resilient Spaces focuses on large-scale tree restoration efforts in urban areas. The innovation involves planting and nurturing native trees in strategic locations such as streets, parks, and public spaces, with the goal of improving air quality, reducing urban heat islands, and enhancing biodiversity. Each tree is carefully selected to thrive in its environment and contribute to ecosystem resilience.

Tree restoration projects include community engagement initiatives where local residents participate in planting and caring for trees, fostering a sense of ownership and environmental stewardship.

In practice, these efforts transform urban landscapes into green havens, restoring ecological balance, combating climate change, and creating more livable, resilient communities for future generations.

How has it been spreading?

Promoting Green Resilient Spaces has been spreading through local organizations working directly within communities. Environmental groups, community centers, and local nonprofits have played a key role in organizing , educational workshops, and volunteer efforts. These organizations partner with schools, neighborhood associations, and civic groups to raise awareness about the importance of tree restoration and create hands-on opportunities for people to get involved.

Local organizations often collaborate with city planners and environmental experts to identify the best areas for tree planting, ensuring the trees are well-suited to the urban environment and will thrive over time. These grassroots efforts are building momentum as more neighborhoods join the movement.

If I want to try it, what should I do?
