This podcast presents a lifecycle analysis (LCA) study examining the environmental impact of urban trees in three Mediterranean cities: Perugia, Thessaloniki, and Cascais. The findings reveal that the positive effects of trees in removing CO2 and air pollution far outweigh the environmental costs of their cultivation and maintenance. Results highlight that the type and number of trees are key factors, with deciduous species outperforming conifers in environmental benefits. The study focuses on key impact categories such as global warming and PM formation and introduces a parametric model for LCA inventory, adaptable to diverse urban contexts.
