New Zealand’s government launches 1 billion trees programme

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has set an ambitious goal for the country in the effort to reduce global warming.

New Zealand plans to use reforestation as a means to remove some of the large amounts of CO2 emitted to the atmosphere. Under the “1 Billion Trees Programme” prime minister Ardern’s government promises to plant 100 million trees every year for ten years. The government wants New Zealand to achieve zero emmissions by 2050.

New Zealand is leading the way for the rest of us with it’s grand tree planting plan!

New Zealand’s government launches 1 billion trees programme

New Zealand vil plante 100 millioner træer årligt

Premierminister Jacinda Ardern har sat et ambitiøst mål for at imødegå den globale opvarmning. New Zealand vil bruge træplantning som middel til at få fjernet noget af den kritiske mængde CO2, der allerede er udledt i atmosfæren.

Regeringens mål er at plante 100 millioner træer om året i 10 år under et program, Jacinda Ardern kalder “The 1 Billion Trees Programme”. Regeringen fastholder, at målet er realistisk og kan nås ved at plante de nye træer på marginaljorder.

Med planen viser New Zealand en vej, som vi andre også kan bruge for at rydde op i indholdet af CO2 i atmosfæren.

Vores søsterorganisation i Danmark, Growing Trees Network Foundation, har indgået et samarbejde med Naturstyrelsen, således at alle nu kan deltage i rejsning af nye statslige skove i Danmark.

Tillykke til Growing Trees Network med det flotte arbejde, der giver borgere mulighed for at give støtte til plantning af nye skove i Danmark til beskyttelse af grundvandet og til glæde for fauna og mennesker! Læs mere om initiativet her. Tag også en tur forbi Growing Trees Network Foundation her.
