Abstract
The Bologna Charter 2017 recognizes green infrastructures as essential elements for the construction of ecosystem services with great connective potential. In this regard, we know that a green area has a different capacity to absorb GHG pollutants depending on the types of vegetation that compose it, their state of health and whether they are native species. This study aims to find a measure, through the application of a GIS-Based methodology, capable of evaluating the effectiveness of light greening interventions, in terms of benefits for the population, with the aim of reducing risks to citizens' health, measuring the ex-ante and ex-post parameters within a given district. We are in the midst of a climate crisis, which translates into risks to citizens' health. Fine dust killed 238,000 people in Europe in 2020 alone, of which considering other sources of pollution, in Italy there are a total of 311 thousand deaths. Diseases and pathologies from GHGs affect above all that part of the population that falls within the poorest and weakest sections of society, and it is for them first and foremost that concrete, immediate and lasting measures must be studied and implemented that ensure well-being in terms of health and liveability.
