Urban forests are vibrant places with multifaceted activities spanning health and well-being through to the urban bio-economy. They are already a major and very often the preeminent nature-based solution for many cities. Urban Forests are a great opportunity to tackle the climate emergency upon us by making urban areas more resilient. In recognition of this the conference theme for 2020 is: Urban Forestry for a Resilient Future.
EFUF emphasizes the connection of practice and scientific knowledge, encouraging a variety of possible formats to contribute to the conference:
- Theme 1: ‘Keeping cities cool and reducing flood risk’
- Theme 2: ‘The air we breathe, the water we drink and the way we feel’
- Theme 3: ‘Trees and urban design’
