On 29 November 2022 (10:00-11:30 EST), the World Resources Institute (WRI) will organize a webinar on the opportunities of forests to improve cities. The webinar will be the official launch of a major new research report, Better Forests, Better Cities, hosted by WRI and the Pilot Projects Design Collective.
Efforts to conserve, restore, and manage forests can benefit cities through improved air quality, decreased flood risk, improved health outcomes, and more. This first-of-its-kind report evaluates the benefits to human health and well-being, water, climate mitigation, and biodiversity that forests and other nature-based solutions at all scales provide to cities and their residents.
The webinar will host a number of relevant speakers, such as Frances Seymour, Distinguished Senior Fellow, Forests Program (WRI) and Dr. Sarah Jane Wilson, Research Lead and Forest Geographer (Pilot Projects Design Collective).
