Our mission

Initiated by the Politecnico di Milano and supported by public institutions and private partners, Forestami aims to increase the natural capital of the Metropolitan City of Milan by planting 3 million trees by 2030. The initiative seeks to mitigate climate change, reduce urban heat and air pollution, prevent soil consumption and improve citizens’ well-being across 133 municipalities.

Through participatory processes involving citizens, institutions, organisations and businesses, Forestami promotes urban forestry, knowledge-sharing and nature-based urban regeneration. Its collaborative governance model also supports the long-term planting, maintenance and monitoring of trees, ensuring the initiative’s sustainability beyond its project lifecycle.
