Multiple outlets report that Sydney is unlikely to reach nearly double its current tree canopy coverage by 2036, citing a very slow growth rate. The reporting states that the city would need to expand canopy coverage to about 40% by 2036, but it is growing at roughly one-tenth of a percentage point per year. At that pace, achieving the higher target would require a significantly faster rate than what is currently occurring. The articles frame the finding as evidence that the present canopy increase is not sufficient to meet the long-term goal within the stated timeframe. While the coverage focuses on the canopy trajectory and the gap between current trends and the desired level, it does not provide additional details in the excerpts about specific suburbs, the causes of slow growth, or any policy changes. Overall, the sources align on the same figures: the 40% canopy target by 2036 and the approximate annual growth rate of one-tenth of a percentage point.

- Sydney’s tree canopy target is about 40% by 2036.
- Current tree canopy growth is reported at about 0.1 percentage points per year.
- That growth rate is described as insufficient to nearly double canopy by 2036.
- All sources present the same figures and conclusion about the slow pace of canopy increase by the deadline.
Sydney will struggle to almost double tree canopy to 40 per cent by 2036 because the current growth rate is a tenth of a percentage point per year.
