The FAO Park Global Library of Trees and Flowers
The FAO Park Global Library of Trees and Flowers, in partnership with Roma Capitale, will engage schools and the general public in learning from nature and cultivating a greater understanding of our planet's biodiversity, promoting a deeper appreciation for the vital role trees and plants play in sustaining life.
In a designated area of Rome's Villa Pamphilj Park, more than 90 trees and plant species from all over the world will be planted. The symbolic act of planting trees and launching the initiative reflects the global solidarity and collaborative effort required to build a more sustainable and food-secure future.

On the occasion of the GIAHS Award Certificate Ceremony 2023, a multi-sensory immersive experience was produced to celebrate these unique sites.
