15 November 2023 - 9:00 - 11:30 - An introduction to Urban Forest Strategic Planning
Planning of urban forests should primarily focus on an ecosystem-based and human well-being approach. In this regard, an urban forest strategic plan for urban forests (whether new or pre-exiting) is a key element for managing trees in urban environments and thereby realizing the potential of trees as a sustainable nature-based solution. What elements should the strategic plan include? What methodology should be followed to develop the strategic plan? Who should participate in its creation?

17 November 2023 - 9:00 - 11:30 - Urban Forest Governance: Achieving Effective and Collaborative Management
Urban Forest Governance (UFG) refers to the management and development of trees and forests in urban areas. In many cases, effective governance of Urban Forests as Nature Based Solutions (UF-NBS) requires collaboration and coordination among various stakeholders, including governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, community groups, and individuals. What are the key aspects of urban forest governance and management? What roles should each of the involved actors undertake? What methodologies can be employed to facilitate collaboration among the different stakeholders?

22 November 2023 - 9:00 - 11:30 - Empower your Local Communities: Participatory Urban Forest Design and Management
Participatory approaches play a crucial role in designing neighborhoods, as they offer undeniable advantages compared to conventional processes managed solely by professionals or public stakeholders. Learn how urban and peri-urban UF-NBS projects can best involve the public/civil society from the outset to mitigate conflict and simultaneously legitimize the process. How can the public be engaged? How can effective participation be fostered? What challenges can the participation process
generate and how should they be addressed?

Urban forests stand out as key solutions to climate change as long as they cater to the needs of diverse groups, but they require protection and restoration to fulfil their role in green infrastructure. How should the restoration of green-blue infrastructure be carried out? What are the main challenges facing this restoration and how could they be overcome? Why is it important to ensure the multifunctionality of green spaces in urban environments?
