Adapting Urban Trees to Climate Change

In this episode I share some learnings from my recent research project about how climate change is likely to affect an urban nature reserve in London and climate adaptation recommendations for the reserve's management. 
I discuss:

• How to make climate change projections tangible at the city-level
• How climate change may impact on some common tree and vegetation species
• General strategies for how urban parks and natural sites can adapt to climate change
