June 7th - According to Nikkei, while major cities worldwide are expanding their tree cover to curb rising summer temperatures related to climate change, the number of street trees in Japan has plummeted from its peak, with a shift towards planting species with limited canopy growth.

This means that approximately 12 square kilometers of shaded area disappeared during this period, roughly equivalent to 250 large baseball fields.
