Despite Being Distinguished as the 2020 European Green Capital, Lisbon Has Lost Public Green Areas over the Previous Decade

Abstract: With the objective of assessing Lisbon’s environmental improvement and sustainable development, we measured the changes in Lisbon’s vegetation cover over the 2010–2020 timeframe considering three categories: public green areas (PGA), street trees (ST), and urban green infrastructure (UGI). We calculated the vegetation cover (m2), vegetation cover per resident (m2 person−1), and % of vegetation cover. PGA and ST covers were made available by the municipality, while UGI cover was estimated from the NDVI calculat… Show more

“…In this context, governments and relevant groups put forward different strategies for covering the ecological service of urban trees. For example, European Commission established European Green Capital in 2010, aiming to recognize and reward local contributions to the sustainable development of urban street trees [23]. In 2012, a System of Environmental-Economic Accounting (SEEA) for dynamic monitoring of urban trees ecosystem was launched, led by the United Nations Statistics Programme, the OECD, and the World Bank.…”
