29. This map indicates where green infrastructure may be most important for its climate change services. It does not weight the importance of these services in
relation to each other. It also does not map the actual occurrence of green infrastructure within these areas. The services included in the mapping are: managing
surface water, managing high temperatures, carbon storage and sequestration, managing riverine flooding, food production, providing low carbon fuels, reducing the
need to travel by car, helping other species adapt, managing visitor pressure, reducing soil erosion, managing coastal flooding (material substitution and managing
water supply were not mapped). The map is amended from Figures 22 and 26 in Section 5 of the report www.ginw.co.uk/climatechange/report.
