What is the Tree City of the World Certification?

Launched in the United States by the Arbor Day Foundation in partnership with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, this certification aims to recognize cities that are committed to managing and maintaining trees in urban areas. 

By achieving this certification, Moka joins major cities such as Melbourne, Paris, New York, Toronto, and London, becoming the second Tree City in Africa. From now on, it will also celebrate Arbor Day like its distinguished counterparts. 

Why choose this certification?

It represents a guarantee: the maintenance and protection of trees throughout the city, as this certification must be renewed annually. By obtaining this certification, Moka Smart commits to the preservation of its natural heritage to improve the quality of life for its residents and users. Indeed, the benefits of trees in urban areas are numerous. 

Trees do not only purify the air we breath, but they also help regulate temperature and absorb ambient noise. And let’s not forget the moments of well-being that come from simply admiring a tree or listening to the rustling of its leaves!
