World Olive Tree Day

November 26, World Olive Tree Day. Heritage emblem of a landscape, an eminent sign of a common culture and living memories of a shared imagination, the olive tree has continued to be cultivated around the Mediterranean.

In the face of climate change... The need to conserve and cultivate olive trees is becoming a growing imperative as the world is confronted with climate change. The protection of cultural and natural heritage, including landscapes, is at the heart of UNESCO's mission and the celebration of World Olive Tree Day strengthens its efforts in favour of environmental sustainability.
