The City of Melbourne is a world leader in urban forestry – combining an ambitious vision with outstanding delivery. Drastic water shortages and extreme overheating events were turned into incentives and organising principles for using trees and other plants to increase resilience to climate change and pursue world-class standards for liveability.

The millennium drought (1997 to 2009), rising temperatures and an ageing tree population threatened Melbourne with an environmental challenge, one that could compromise its ability to achieve high liveability standards for a rapidly growing population.
The city administration also developed a Climate Change Adaptation Strategy for mitigating the effects of extreme heat and other risks induced by climate changes. Public realm trees were identified as a critical, yet threatened and underused asset. As a result, in 2012, a 20-year Urban Forest Strategy was launched. The strategy aims to double City of Melbourne’s public realm canopy cover from its baseline level at 22% to 40% by 2040. It also aims to increase urban forest diversity.
