Beyond the North-South divide: Climatic and socioeconomic interactions shape global patterns of urban greenspace exposure inequality

Key Points

• Urban greenspace exposure inequality is shaped significantly by climatic interactions and socioeconomic factors.
• Notably, certain regions experience over 30% disparity in greenspace availability between different socioeconomic groups.
• Investigative analysis across multiple cities identifies correlations between climatic conditions and urban greenspace accessibility.
• Findings highlight the need for targeted interventions in urban planning to mitigate exposure inequality for different income groups.
