Medellín’s Green Corridors Simple right step to climate change

Medellín is Colombia’s second largest city and has employed innovative solutions for combatting some of the biggest problems facing the world’s urban populations. In 2016 the city began constructing “green corridors” in order to connect their, often degraded, green spaces while regenerating and connecting communities in the city, as well as reducing urban heat and pollution and increasing urban biodiversity. Medellín is also being highlighted as the model urban environment for tackling climate change, as the city’s green corridors have the added benefit of sequestering large amounts of CO2 when compared with an average city. Is this too small a step or simple a step in the right direction?
