KAMPALA RECOGNISED AMONG THE TREE CITIES OF THE WORLD - FIRST IN AFRICA.
PUBLISHED — 11th, March 2021
Kampala Capital City was recently recognized among the Tree Cities of the World, the first African city to be recognized under this program.
Tree Cities of the World is a programme founded by The Arbor Day Foundation and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to recognise cities around the globe that have committed to growing and maintaining their urban forest. Through this recognition, Kampala will join a network of like-minded cities who recognise the importance of trees in building healthy, resilient and happy cities.
When a city joins Tree Cities of the World, they show their willingness to be a sustainability and urban forestry leader. Planting trees in a metropolitan area comes with a myriad of benefits beyond the recognition of this programme.
Increasing the number of trees in a community can help reduce costs for energy, stormwater management, and erosion control.
The programme provides a network of like-minded city leaders in urban forestry to celebrate and share best practices to cultivate greenery in the community.
Tree Cities of the World aims to create more green spaces in urban areas by recognising the cities that do it well.
Planting more trees is the quickest and easiest way to improve a city's tree canopy and invest in a brighter future.
