text: Afforestation, reforestation and tree planting to support biodiversity and ecosystem 
  restoration will be promoted through the CAP Strategic Plans, and the Cohesion Policy 
  funds. The new**European Urban Greening Platform**38 will also facilitate urban tree 
  planting, including under the LIFE programme. 
  
  The share of forest areas covered by management plans should cover all managed public 
  forests and an increased number of private forests, and biodiversity-friendly practices 
  such as closer-to-nature-forestry should continue and be further developed. To support 
  this, the Commission will develop guidelines on biodiversity-friendly afforestation and 
  reforestation and closer-to-nature-forestry practices. This will be done in parallel with the 
  new EU Forest Strategy. 
  
  To gain a better picture of the health of European forests, the Commission will work with 
  other data providers to further develop the**Forest Information System for Europe**. This 
  will help produce up-to-date assessments of the condition of European forests and link all 
  EU forest-data web-platforms. This will also be presented as part of the EU Forest 
  Strategy. 
  
  *2.2.5. Win-win solutions for energy generation*
  
  Decarbonising the energy system is critical for climate neutrality, as well as for the EU’s 
  recovery from the COVID-19 crisis and long-term prosperity. More sustainably sourced 
  renewable energy will be essential to fight climate change and biodiversity loss. The EU 
  will prioritise solutions such as ocean energy, offshore wind, which also allows for fish 
  stock regeneration, solar-panel farms that provide biodiversity-friendly soil cover, and 
  sustainable bioenergy.
