Conference – Tools for the Sustainable Management of Urban Green Areas

Conference | Tools for the Sustainable Management of Urban Green Areas

19 February, 14:00 - 15:30 | Conference Hall (Hall 20 - Room 20A)

The management of urban green areas today requires reliable tools, multidisciplinary expertise, and an approach increasingly oriented toward sustainability, transparency, and the measurement of environmental impacts.

The conference proposes a discussion among public bodies, professionals, and the research community on standards, digital tools, and concrete case studies supporting the sustainable management of urban green areas, with a focus on PEFC certification, biodiversity, and ecosystem services, starting from applied experiences and ongoing projects at the national level.
