The United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution (A/RES/67/200) on 21 December 2012, which declared that 21 March of each year is to be observed as the International Day of Forests.
The theme for each International Day of Forests is chosen by the Collaborative Partnership on Forests. The Theme for the year 2018 is “Forests and Sustainable Cities”.
This global celebration of forests provides a platform to raise awareness of the importance of all types of woodlands and trees and celebrate the ways in which they sustain and protect us.
