Suceava Municipality: Green vision in "One Health 4 Cities" mission

Located in the Bukovina region in the northeast of Romania, 450 km from the capital Bucharest, Suceava is a city of 84,322 people (2022), according to 2022 last data provided by the National Institute of Statistics. Suceava municipality is the residence of Suceava County, known as a land of monasteries, considering that the churches with the exterior painting in the area enjoy a worldwide fame, 8 of them being included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.  In the past years the city has been keen to attract foreign investment and is undergoing major renovation to improve the quality of life of its citizens, to boost its potential for tourism and as a base for new industries. 

Nowadays, Suceava municipality is aware that urban health reflects the outcomes of the physical and the social environment that impact residents’ and communities’ well-being and quality of life, within an urban setting. The challenge is to bring people to spend more time in nature, be more active and develop an environmental consciousness, including promoting healthier transportations alternatives. 

To ensure a safe, healthy future Suceava Municipality is committed to restore forest habitat. Green Vision focusses on investing in preserving existing forests and in reforestation. This can certainly help slow the climate change, and provide many benefits to both humans and the environment in the short and long term as trees purify our air and combat climate change,  provide housing to millions of species that protect us from disease, cool our streets and cities, protect against floods and water pollution and ease the mind during stressful time.
