The award recognises the importance of forests for the city and its residents, as well as the city’s reputation for research and communication on forest-related topics.
“By granting Bonn the European Forest City award, EFI is honouring not only the special connection between the city and its forests, but also its leading role as an international science and communication centre for forest-related topics. The city is making a significant contribution to raising awareness of the crucial role of forests in the fight against climate change,” Mr Mavsar said.
The Mayor of Bonn Ms Dörner said she was very pleased Bonn was named European Forest City 2024 by the European Forest Institute.
“Bonn’s sustainable approach to its forest areas and trees makes a valuable contribution to reducing the consequences of and adapting to the climate crisis. EFI builds a bridge between Bonn as a green city and a science city, and fits perfectly into Bonn’s biodiversity profile,” she said.
