## Methodology

The composite 2090 climate suitability score for London's public realm trees, across the four published bands: High, Moderate, Low and Vulnerable. Low means poorly suited to the climate expected in 2090, not low risk — an earlier reading here matched only two of the four bands and reported percentages over their sum, which was meaningless. Trees with no assessment are excluded from the denominator rather than counted as a verdict.
