The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) today presented Mendoza in Argentina and Newcastle in the United Kingdom with its first-ever Green Cities Initiative Awards during a special event for its Green Cities Initiative (GCI).

The newly established awards recognize and celebrate the outstanding efforts of cities collaborating with FAO and which embrace the GCI's vision of vibrant and inclusive cities where urban green and productive spaces catalyze climate resilience, biodiversity, social cohesion and economic prosperity.

The awards were presented at FAO’s headquarters in Rome during the 9th World Forest Week and on the final day of the 27th Session of the Committee on Forestry (COFO 27), a biennial event bringing together high-level representatives, heads of forest services, government officials and partner organizations to identify emerging policies and trends, discuss solutions and technical guidance, and advise on future strategy and action.
