Tree Risk Management Plan
A recent report highlighted that over half of the City of London's trees are vulnerable to climate change, informing future risk management.
In November 2026, a new report presented to a City of London committee warned that over half of the Square Mile’s trees are vulnerable to climate change. An assessment of 1,684 trees found that 56.2% had low suitability for, or were vulnerable to, future climate conditions, with just 30.3% rated moderate or high suitability.
The Tree Risk Management Plan outlines strategies and procedures for managing risks associated with trees, particularly in an urban environment. This includes assessing tree health and resilience to environmental factors, guiding decisions on tree maintenance, planting, and removal to ensure public safety and environmental sustainability.
