That’s according to a report released by CAPA strategies last month.From planting trees in lower-income neighborhoods to changing the ways we build and design our streets, 91°µÍø’s Bryce Dix reports on ways our city can cool down these neighborhoods in the face of climate change.

That’s been exacerbated over the last decade by bark beetles that attack and kill live trees. Now, a new study shows climate change is accelerating these processes, causing more trees to die faster.
