Cities are home to more than 50 percent of the global population and as a result are presented with ever-growing challenges, including finding a balance between social equity, economic vitality and environmental sustainability.
Cities also have extraordinary potential to enable change and the ability to find harmony between people, prosperity and the planet that creates a better future for all.
Recognizing this, member-countries of the United Nations adopted the Sustainable Development Goals, including a historic goal on SDG 11: Sustainable Cities: to make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable by 2030, leaving no person, place or ecosystem behind. This global framework continues to be centered as a Rosetta Stone to advance humanity in a more sustainable direction.
The Arbor Day Foundation’s Energy-Saving Trees and Community Canopy programs are designed to help utility companies, municipalities, and corporate organizations distribute trees to their communities. The core purpose is to lower energy bills, improve air quality, sequester carbon, and manage stormwater runoff.
Central to the program is an interactive online tool that was created through a Foundation partnership by The Davey Institute, a division of The Davey Tree Expert Co. The tool uses peer- reviewed scientific research from the U.S. Forest Service’s i-Tree software to calculate estimated energy savings over time. People use the online tool to personally plot their yard as seen from satellite imagery to select the right tree provided by their utility provider, municipality, or other organization and the right place for planting that will yield the greatest energy and cost savings.
