Photo: Felipe Paiva/WRI Brasil I CITIES UNITED BY FORESTS From climate resilience to people's well-being, forests provide many services to city life. The Cities4 Forests Initiative has established a global network of cities dedicated to supporting and catalyzing actions to conserve and restore forests. In 2020, WRI Brasil promoted training sessions and exchanges of experiences among the Cities4Forests cities in Brazil in eight meetings with 90 participants. The network was joined by the municipality of Extrema and now has ten Brazilian cities. With support from WRI Brasil, Extrema's forest restoration and Payment for Environmental Services Program was expanded to two new cities. Rio Branco advanced in the elaboration of its first urban afforestation plan. We also helped Palmas regulate and implement its Municipal Green Infrastructure System and provided communication training to the municipal technical team in Salvador. With support from the Municipality of Campinas, Water Supply and Sanitation Society (SANASA, Campinas' water company), and ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability, we built an investment case for natural water infrastructure in the metropolitan region of Campinas that will help make resources for restoring and protecting biodiversity feasible. We supported a map detailing that identifies the best opportunities for conservation and restoration in the region. The work is part of elaborating an action plan for biodiversity led by ICLEI and the Reconecta Program, which could inspire other metropolitan regions to manage biodiversity and ecosystem services regionally.
