Better Forests, Better Cities
2022
This report evaluates how and when forests – inside, near and far away from cities – contribute to health and well-being, water security, climate change mitigation, and biodiversity conservation benefits for cities and their residents. As city leaders face demands from growing urban populations, coupled with the impacts of a rapidly changing climate, they should consider the role that forests can play in addressing these challenges and meeting the needs of city residents.
