The Urban Tree Diversity Conference (UTD5), to be held in October 2024 in Madrid, Spain, aims to help craft a vision for the future of urban forests by sharing innovations from a spectrum of scientific disciplines that seek to secure the health and resilience of our urban trees.

As our cities face the pressing challenges of climate change, extreme weather events, increasing population growth and densification, the role of urban forestry becomes increasingly vital. This conference serves as a platform to share knowledge, exchange ideas, and shape the future of our urban forests and trees for the benefit of our cities, our communities, and the environment.
