A quiet revolution took root at the 2025 AIOM National Congress: a woodland. With the launch of ForestAIOM<\/strong>, with the support of GECO<\/strong>, the Italian oncology community moves beyond clinical care, planting 500 trees across Tuscany, Emilia\u2011Romagna, and Puglia \u2014 a gesture designed to intertwine the wellbeing of patients with that of the planet.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A forest for sustainability and health<\/h2>\n

ForestAIOM aims to soften the environmental footprint<\/strong> <\/a>of oncology\u2011related activities. By planting in three varied Italian regions, AIOM seeks not only carbon absorption \u2014 offsetting CO\u2082<\/span> emissions<\/strong> <\/a>generated by congresses and related events \u2014 but also increased local biodiversity and improved air quality, giving concrete shape to a vision of “health for people and planet.”<\/p>\n

More than a symbolic act, this dispersed forest reflects an ambition to embed sustainability at the heart of healthcare practice. Engaging local communities<\/strong>, working with regional farms and social cooperatives<\/strong>, AIOM and its partner GECO oversee every step from planting to monitoring: a model of transparency, accountability, and social plus environmental return.<\/p>\n

From congress to concrete green impact<\/h2>\n

The idea for ForestAIOM was unveiled during the opening of the XXVII Congress in Rome<\/strong>, consolidating oncology excellence with ecological responsibility. 500 trees planted is only the start: AIOM plans to replicate this initiative annually, particularly in regions hosting its events, transforming each congress into a moment of regeneration for the territory.<\/p>\n

Through this approach, AIOM turns symposium footprints into green legacies \u2014 a \u201cgive\u2011back\u201d to the land and communities hosting medical professionals and patients alike.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bridging care and climate: why it matters<\/h2>\n

Cancer care and environmental health are inherently connected. As one leading scientist (the neuroscientist Stefano Mancuso<\/strong>) reminded at the same Congress, \u201cwe cannot heal people on a sick planet<\/strong>\u201d \u2014 pollution, resource depletion and climate change pose health challenges<\/strong> <\/a>that go beyond individual diseases.<\/p>\n

By planting trees, AIOM signals that oncology has a dual duty: to patients, and to the environment those patients inhabit. ForestAIOM becomes a living metaphor for healing: each sapling may one day shelter biodiversity, filter air, and symbolise hope.<\/p>\n

A replicable model for institutions and organisations<\/h2>\n

ForestAIOM sets a precedent: health\u2011sector organisations can embed sustainability in their operations concretely<\/strong><\/a>. Any association staging events \u2014 whether medical, cultural or corporate \u2014 could adopt a similar \u201cgreen offset\u201d model: compute event emissions, partner with local communities, plant native trees, ensure long\u2011term care.<\/p>\n

For those ready to walk this path, organisations like GECO<\/strong> offer frameworks to transform eco\u2011intentions into ecological impact. In a climate\u2011aware era, marrying social responsibility with environmental stewardship proves no longer optional, but essential.<\/p>\n

The project signals a paradigm shift: care extends beyond the clinic, reaching the soil under our feet<\/strong>. ForestAIOM shows how oncology can plant seeds not only against disease, but for a healthier planet.<\/p>\n
