# The City of Tshwane’s Health Department is transforming clinics into climate-resilient spaces. This is achieved by planting trees, which provide shade to lower temperatures and act as natural shields against heatwaves, thereby creating cooler and safer environments. This initiative is part of the metro’s larger commitment to a net-zero carbon and climate-resilient city by 2050. Mayoral committee member for Health, Tshegofatso Mashabela, says this project aligns with the broader Climate Action Plan.
