The majority of German cities have lost tree cover and green spaces over the past seven years, exposing residents to greater risks from extreme heat, NGO Environmental Action Germany (DUH) found in a report. Between 2018 and 2025, over 900,000 trees had disappeared from the 195 surveyed cities, DUH said in its 2026 Heat Check.
