The G20 Summit which took place in Rome on 30-31 October 2021, and the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26), held in Glasgow on 20 October 2021, solemnly and authoritatively reaffirmed the fundamental role of trees, forests and forest conservation in the protection of the global environment. The commitment made by G20 nations to encourage the development of afforestation, focusing on the most degraded ecosystems around the world, marks a significant recognition for the forest sector but is also a crucial engagement and a substantial responsibility to effectively move towards this goal. The Conference aims at analyzing the state of knowledge and experiences and at laying down the foundation for this wide international effort.
The event will take place at the Accademia dei Lincei Headquarters in Rome.
