关于Cities4Forests

以城市为主导的保护森林的运动


Cities4Forests是来自全球84个城市的联盟,其中包括市长办公室和其他城市机构,例如公共水电图和可持续性办公室。Cities4Forest鼓励点对点学习,并将城市与具有城市,森林,气候危机,水,交流,财务,政策和社会公平的机构的技术支持联系起来。必威官网是真的吗这有助于城市认识到他们与世界森林的相互依存关系,并利用其政治,经济和文化力量来保护和管理这些森林,以实现人类的福祉。

We help cities better conserve, manage and restore their inner forests, including city trees, urban parks, natural areas and other green infrastructure; nearby forests, such as watersheds; and faraway forests, especially tropical forests. We assist cities by inspiring political action and engagement, providing technical assistance, building capacity, and facilitating economic analysis, finance, and investment.

在城市和森林之间建立联盟

Trees and forests are essential to cities and their residents, providing many benefits for climate, water, biodiversity and resident health and well-being.

然而森林仍然受到威胁,因为世界大致失去了one soccer field of forestevery six seconds in 2019. Deforestation and forest degradation account for approximately11 % of carbon emissions— more than the entire global transportation sector. As a result, halting deforestation and helping forests recover naturally could provideup to 30% of the climate solution. If tropical deforestation was a country, it would排名第三in carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions, only behind China and the United States. Deforestation and poor forest management can devastate local communities by increasing erosion, landslides, wildfires, flooding and loss of livelihoods.

At the same time, cities face unprecedented pressure to protect the health of their residents, provide access to outdoor green spaces and address social disparities. Cities are also facing rising costs from climate change, water scarcity, pollution, a global economic downturn and the prospect of tight municipal budgets. As cities seek to “build back better” from recent health and economic crises, they need to think beyond traditional concrete-and-steel infrastructure and embrace natural systems that can provide a range of co-benefits at a relatively low cost. So how can cities better support forests, both within and beyond their borders? Innovative plans, resident-engagement strategies and enhanced policies and procurement practices have enormous potential to support forest conservation and restoration. This potential exists in protecting and maintaining local forests, including parks and urban forests within their boundaries, as well as promoting “green infrastructure”; nearby forests that protect water supplies and would benefit from watershed management programs; and faraway forests that are vital for combating the climate crisis, decreasing the loss of biodiversity and supporting large-scale weather patterns. Regardless of where forests are, cities have a responsibility — and a lot to gain — to protect and restore them.

Inspire Political Action & Engagement:

We empower cities, their mayors and their residents to become advocates for trees, forests and green infrastructure in their cities and beyond. We increase awareness and understanding among city decision-makers and urban residents about the potential benefits of forests for their well-being. We use our platform to help align, aggregate and amplify the voices of cities in their advocacy for forests locally and globally.

提供技术援助和能力建设:

我们提供技术支持,以改善市政政府计划,政策和森林管理。我们还协助城市进行城市树制图,森林规划和监测。我们收集和共享最佳实践,建立同行交流并促进一个允许更有效的信息交换的网络。我们支持有前途的技术(包括用于监视的技术)的研发工作。

Facilitate Economic Analysis, Finance & Investment:

我们试图通过提高保护融资方法的识字率,提高项目的持续性以及复制和扩展新颖的融资方法来吸引和扩展对森林的财务投资。我们通过建立可投资机会的管道来改善城市,项目开发人员和投资者之间的联系。通过此,我们将森林和其他绿色基础设施从利基专业转移到投资者的主要机会。
