Cities4Forests helps cities around the world better conserve, manage, and restore nature, especially the world’s forests, for human well-being. This includes inner forests (such as city trees and urban parks), nearby forests (such as green corridors and watersheds) and faraway forests (especially tropical forests). We support cities with technical assistance, political engagement, economics and finance, gender and social equity, technology, and more.
