Tree Value Visions – Integrating relational values and multispecies justice in urban treescape management

Urban treescapes are important nature-based solutions for climate resilience, biodiversity, and human wellbeing, but their management often marginalizes relational values and multispecies justice. Tree Value Visions is a low-resource deliberative tool for inclusive, values-led urban treescape planning, grounded in the IPBES Life Framework. It facilitates community-driven visioning, linking storytelling to prioritization of outcomes and practical actions. Case studies suggest the tool can successfully foster synergies between human and ecological needs.
