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
