Urban forestation is one of the most effective strategies for improving the quality of life in cities, combating the climate crisis, and enhancing citizens’ well-being. In recent years, thanks to public and private funding programs such as the PNRR, the Complemento regionale per lo sviluppo rurale (CSR), and other regional initiatives, many public administrations have been investing in new green spaces to make cities more resilient.

With the Kyoto Protocol, a system to regulate greenhouse gas emissions based on the trading of emission quotas was established: the carbon market. This tool was later confirmed with the Paris Agreement, aligned with the goal signed by European member states to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. The carbon market stimulates emission reductions and sustainable technological development to combat the climate crisis.

Carbon, in the form of carbon dioxide (CO₂), is part of the air we breathe and an indispensable element to ensure life on Earth. For more than a century, however, human activities have increased the concentration of CO₂ in the atmosphere, accelerating the climate crisis we are currently experiencing.
