Zhuhai Declaration: make forests and trees central to Asia-Pacific's future urban planning
"We wish to send a message... reaffirming our belief that forests and trees in and around cities are the key element to make cities in the Asia-Pacific region greener, healthier and happier and more resilient to climate change..." is one of the key statements in the Zhuhai Declaration, the outcome document of the First Asia-Pacific Urban Forestry Meeting, which calls for large-scale urban greening to improve the lives and livelihoods of citizens in the region's rapidly growing cities.
Read more in the meeting summary of the First Asia-Pacific Urban Forestry Meeting, co-organized by FAO, the Urban Forestry Research Center of the State Forestry Administration of the People's Republic of China, and the host city of Zhuhai, from 6 to 8 April, and read more about FAO's work on Urban and Peri-urban Forestry.
Many thanks for your advice.
