Citizens can participate too by urging local governments to plant more trees
The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) has launched an initiative to stimulate mayors and local governments to plant more trees, and thereby increase the resilience and liveability of cities. Launched at the Climate Action Summit in September 2019 by the Executive Secretary of UNECE Olga Algayerova, this global campaign promotes climate action in cities and helps to share effective nature-based solutions to climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies.
The Challenge was launched with the understanding that cities are at the forefront of the battle against climate change, acknowledging that nature-based solutions are the most cost-effective and accessible way to manage climate change-related challenges arising for cities. Now, the international community, represented by UNECE/FAO wants to support policymakers and mayors in implementing these solutions and share best practices, while giving them the platform to promote their achievements globally and to compete against each other.
There are 5 easy steps to follow if you are a city representative:
The Trees in Cities Challenge aims to contribute to at least four of the goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (SDG goals), namely SDG3: Good Health and Well-Being; SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities; SDG13: Climate Action; and SDG15: Life on Land. Its expected impact for cities include climate change mitigation and greater urban resilience, cleaner air, healthier, less stressful cities, improved public spaces, stronger communities and increased property values.
As we wrote earlier, several EU cities have already launched ambitious trees-planting projects, including Debrecen (Hungary), Zadar (Croatia), Algarve region (Portugal) , to name but a few.
