The World Forum on Urban Forests receives the patronage of the European Parliament!

12/07/2018

We are happy to announce that the World Forum on Urban Forests has received the Patronage of the European Parliament.

Below the reasons:

"Forests are essential parts of rural life, but they are increasingly important for cities, too. Forestry-related industries create many jobs in urban areas. According to estimates by 2050, 90% of Europeans will live in urban areas. In addition, climate change is a serious challenge for sustainable development across the world, and our continent is no exception. To cope with this, green infrastructure and urban forestry solutions are being widely proposed. Therefore, initiatives such as urban planners, forestry corps, arborists, landscape architects, designers, research and academic institutes to collaborate, are very important".
