The Recovery and Resilience Plan provides for the protection and increase of green areas in the 14 Metropolitan cities of Italy.

The investment aims to protect green areas and increase their number with the objective of both preserving and enhancing biodiversity and increasing the quality of life of the inhabitants of those areas.

The planting and transplanting is ongoing.

The Recovery and Resilience Facility provides funding for this investment of EUR 210 million.
