A report from the International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO)
The Global Forest Expert Panels (GFEP) Programme of the International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO) issued a report, which identifies the health benefits of forests. A total of 44 scientists and experts contributed to this assessment, with a core Expert Panel of 16 scientists with diverse expertise, including forestry, ecology, landscape design, psychology, medicine, epidemiology and public health.
The five key messages:
Forests, trees, and green spaces impact human health across all life stages.
Positive health outcomes of forests, trees, and green spaces significantly outweigh negative ones.
The health outcome of forests is the result of several pathways that are dependent on context and individual lifestyles.
Forest-health relations offer solutions to global crises.
Integrative and cross-sectoral approaches need to be adopted to improve forest-health linkages.
