Mediterranean cities are struggling with complex and interconnected challenges related to the consequences of climate change, biodiversity loss, and degradation of natural resources. In response to these pressing issues, there is a growing recognition of the vital role played by urban forests and green spaces; local governments, planners, city managers, and civil society are increasingly acknowledging their significance. Cities need to rethink their green spaces and their relationship with nature and people, embracing transformational change to create liveable and resilient environments. Various initiatives and policies in Europe and beyond call for creative and interdisciplinary approaches to engage society on a transformative path towards more green, sustainable, accessible, inclusive, and healthy living spaces. Cities as carbon sinks, planning for urban biodiversity, and implementing environmental justice are some of the key elements to accelerate innovation and inspire urban transformation.
These webinars offer the opportunity to explore key questions for research, policy and practice in the weeks leading up to the event. Through these webinars, relevant discussion points will be identified for subsequent discussion during the 8MFW. This is your chance to join the discussion on forest adaptation, biodiversity, fires and green cities, in the context of the week’s global theme on sustainable and resilient Mediterranean forests.
The results of the webinars will be used, together with the results of the discussion during the plenary sessions and the content of the posters presented at the 8MFW. All webinars in this cycle will be recorded; If you can’t attend, you can always watch the recording to better prepare for the event!
