Co-Carbon Tree Measurement

This citizen-science project aims to obtain the most realistic estimation possible of CO2 captured by urban trees, in order to understand their capture capacity across the entire urban environment. Promoted by the Viladecans City Council and the Technical University of Catalonia -Barcelona Tech (UPC), the project encourages primary and secondary students to participate actively in measuring trees. This helps to reinforce social commitment and values of sustainability, joint responsibility, and the common good. The resulting data is essential for measuring progress towards achieving the EU's climate neutrality goals by 2050. It also provides valuable information for the development of urban strategies aimed at combating climate change and reducing CO2 emissions.
