Carbon saving from reduced building consumption in Valladolid city

<p>Climate change can cause overheating in city centers, especially through the &ldquo;heat island effect&rdquo;. Green urban infrastructure can play a role in climate change adaptation through reducing air and surface temperature by providing shading and enhancing evapo-transpiration, which leads to energy and carbon savings from reduced building energy consumption especially in summer. Insulating effect of plants reduces heating energy consumption and associated carbon emissions in winter.&nbsp;</p>
