The solution
If we can warm up the earth, we can also cool it down. By greening up! It’s that simple! The solution to climate change is vegetation. It’s the air conditioning of our planet, and it eats carbon for breakfast. Through simple nature-based solutions we can capture a whopping 20 billion tons of CO2 annually. This means that we can reverse climate change within 30 years. Let’s green up to cool down.
Increase tree cover
With more tree cover on degraded farmlands and rangelands we can triple the rate of carbon accumulation.
Increase soil carbon sequestration
By protecting the soil from erosion, enhancing soil fertility and improving soil moisture farmers can grow the size and reliability of crops and store huge amounts of carbon at the same time.
Scale up shrubs
By planting leguminous shrubs in food crops we can increase carbon sequestration and access to energy without having to reduce agricultural land. Millions of farmers in Africa have already adopted this.
Increase biomass energy production
By 2050, the carbon stored from nature-based solutions can be used in power plants and bring energy to hundreds of millions of people.
Restore degraded forestlands
Over 1.7 billion of forestland is degraded and treeless. Through empowering local communities, we can turn 575 million hectares into healthy forests again.
Suppress fires
By regenerating pastures, we can bring back a healthy grass-tree balance, enhance food production for livestock, and improve animal welfare.
Global Evergreening Alliance presents:
The Grand African Savannah Green Up
The biggest grassroots landscape restoration project ever.
