In this episode of the Nature-Based Therapy Podcast, Johan Östberg speaks with Simone Borelli, Forestry Officer at FAO, who has dedicated his career to urban forestry, agroforestry, and sustainable landscapes. With extensive experience in international projects, policy development, and capacity building, Simone has played a key role in integrating trees and green spaces into cities worldwide.
The discussion explores FAO’s role in promoting nature-based therapy (NbT) and how urban forests and green spaces contribute to health, well-being, and climate resilience. Simone highlights key FAO initiatives that support NbT, the challenges of convincing policymakers that urban nature is a necessity rather than a luxury, and the different ways NbT is perceived and applied across regions.
The conversation also covers barriers and opportunities for scaling up NbT in urban planning and healthcare. Simone shares insights on the future of NbT, including trends and innovations that could make green spaces a central part of global public health strategies.
