From mangrove trees protecting coastal communities from flooding in Madagascar, to Polylepsis trees strengthening water security for people in the high Andes, or fruit trees providing food and a source of income for farmers in Morocco and Uganda, the trees will bring many benefits.

2023 Earth Day will take place on Saturday 22 April focused on engaging the more than 1 billion people, governments, institutions, and businesses who participate to recognise our collective responsibility and to help accelerate the transition to an equitable, prosperous green economy for all.
