How does climate change affect parks?

Climate change brings more frequent and intense weather, like the droughts and gales damaging London's parks. Trees struggle with lack of water and then become vulnerable to strong winds. This extreme weather also stresses existing infrastructure, such as footpaths and water systems, making it harder for parks to cope and maintain their natural beauty.
