13/12/2023 | Webinar | Online | 3 Billion Additional Trees Pledge: towards a Financing Guide | The primary goal of this webinar is to present to the relevant representatives of Member State authorities the draft Financing Guide for the 3 Billion Trees Pledge and ensure their essential feedback on this document. Tree planting for ecological objectives (i.e., nature restoration, biodiversity, climate change mitigation and adaptation) is one of the objectives of the new EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030. Since funding is one of the key challenges stakeholders and/or authorities face, this Guide is meant to be a useful supporting tool to all those involved in tree planting, by sharing information about the existing funding sources that are available both at EU and Member States level and giving stakeholders easier access to such information. | 2:00 PM - 4:30 PM (CET) | Access to the dedicated webpage (protected) - only Member States representatives |

They contain practical recommendations and references to case studies. | 10.00 AM - 12.30 PM (CET) | |
28/02/2023 | Webinar | Online | The EU Three Billion Trees pledge | The purpose of the webinar is to introduce the EU pledge to the relevant stakeholders, providing all the necessary information related to the initiative and discussing key issues related to the planting of trees and the pledge itself.
