Investing in trees: global companies are protecting and restoring forests
Over 80global companies have committed to investing in trees by conserving, restoring, and growing over 7 billion trees in over 65 countries.
Conserving, restoring and growing 1 trillion trees by 2030 is achievable
Trees and forests are a critical part of the solution to the climate crisis and biodiversity collapse. That’s why we aim to mobilize, connect, and empower the global reforestation community to conserve, restore and grow one trillion trees by 2030.
We are part of the World Economic Forum’s work to accelerate nature-based solutions in support of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021-2030), supported by funding from Marc and Lynne Benioff from the Marc R. Benioff Foundation.
