One Trillion Trees Initiative
ConceptAbout
The One Trillion Trees Initiative is a global effort aimed at growing, restoring, and conserving 1 trillion trees by 2030. Launched by the World Economic Forum, this initiative seeks to unite governments, NGOs, businesses, and individuals in a massive nature restoration project. The goal is to address climate change and biodiversity loss by leveraging the ecological benefits of trees, such as carbon sequestration and habitat creation. The initiative emphasizes a three-pronged approach: conserve existing forests, restore degraded ones, and grow new trees in suitable areas. It supports activities like agroforestry, urban tree planting, and nursery development. The U.S. has established an interagency council to coordinate federal efforts, while other countries have made significant commitments to tree planting and conservation. The initiative relies on scientific research and collaboration to ensure responsible forestry practices that enhance biodiversity and mitigate climate change impacts.
