Forests and Trees for Human Health: Pathways, Impacts, Challenges and Response Options

The Policy Brief summarizes the key messages of the Global Forest Expert Panel (GFEP) global assessment report "Forests and Trees for Human Health: Pathways, Impacts, Challenges and Response Options".


The following key findings are highlighted:

  • 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 outcomes of forests are 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 the forest-health link
