GIFT - Green Infrastructure for Forests and Trees

Tree planting and forest restoration, as a building block for Green Infrastructure, is a biodiversity and climate change solution that is available now and can work on a vast scale needed to tackle the global challenges. In order to mainstream GI potential into planning policy, practice and decision-making process, to highlight policy deficiencies and areas for policy improvement, the GIFT partnership will apply a GI policy assessment framework to improve the design and wording of regional policies that address biodiversity conservation and climate change functions of trees and forests in GI within their planning documents. Current regions involved: Galicia ES (LP),Vastra Gotaland SE, Fryslan NL, Flanders BE, Ljubjana SL, Mures RO. We are looking for regions from Northern and Southern Europe addressing ERDF Green Infrastructure policies.
