The Miami Beach City Commission plans to plant more shady trees to provide cooling effects and remove carbon from the atmosphere.
City officials have stated that this will not result in cutting down palm trees, but the addition of other species.
Climate change could be threatening the iconic palm trees that line Miami Beach, with local city leaders planning on scaling back the number of new palms planted in the city and switching to trees that provide more shade.
The initiative is part of the Miami Beach City Commission’s recent urban forestry master plan, which would reduce the volume of palm trees planted in Miami Beach to 25 percent of the total canopy in the city by 2050. More shady trees will be added in their stead.
