Webinar "Challenges, barriers and possible solutions for tree planting" EU 3 Billion Trees
2025-09-04 09:30 - 11:30
The Directorate General for Environment (DG ENV) of the European Commission and Milieu Consulting SRL are pleased to invite you to the webinar, scheduled for 4 September 2025, from 9:30 to 11:30 CET, on “Challenges, barriers and possible solutions for tree planting”.

The webinar will focus on the presentation and discussion of the key findings of the report on challenges and barriers to tree planting. The implementation of the pledge depends on grassroots initiatives in the Member States, at national, subnational, and local level. Linking with stakeholders is key for discussing challenges in tree planting and sharing experiences and solutions.

Milieu Consulting SRL is developing a project to support the European Commission, Directorate-General for Environment (DG ENV), in the implementation of the EU’s pledge to plant 3 billion trees by 2030 in full respect of ecological principles. The project involves the development of webinars and workshops to discuss the key challenges of planting trees.

Themes include:

biosecurity strategies to prevent the introduction and spread of pests in urban environments,

current practices and challenges faced by National Plant Protection Organizations (NPPOs) in surveillance for quarantine pests of trees,

innovative tools and solutions for surveillance, detection, identification, and monitoring of pests of trees in forests and urban environments,

tree resistance and vulnerability,

stakeholder perspectives: communities, professionals, and authorities in urban tree health,

education and awareness: promoting knowledge and action on tree health and biosecurity,

policy and decision-making frameworks that support biosecurity of trees and woodlands in urban contexts.

The conference will take place on September 8–10, 2025 in Carcavelos, Portugal.

EPPO invites NPPOs to take part in this conference, to share best practices and discusschallenges encountered in surveillance for quarantine pests of trees in your countries.

Europe’s forests are under increasing pressure from climate change and natural disturbances. At the same time, the Nature Restoration Regulation of the EU Biodiversity Strategy pushes for urgent restoration of forests. This Summer School of the Euroleague for Life Sciences deals with how to approach and adapt to this, and how sudden disturbances can steer restoration activities, at scales from local to Europe wide. The Summer School will be held at the beautiful Alpine Study Center of Tuscia University in Pieve Tesino, Italy.
