Climate change is currently one of the main challenges for world civilization. Cities are the areas of the world where the effects of these changes reach a larger scale, due to the biophysical characteristics that characterize the urban space.

A collective effort is necessary to create conditions that allow us to mitigate these effects, preparing cities and their populations, through a national strategy of adaptation to Climate Change.

Green spaces play a very important environmental and ecological role in the urban environment, constituting a decisive contribution to the experience and quality of life of societies.
