Forest News

This month we start with a few internal updates and then move on to carbon markets and offsets, which are meant to help us reach a low-carbon society and avoid the worst of climate change..

This month we talk about urban forests and green infrastructure, or why and how cities are changing and becoming greener. We start with an inspiring video and then cover different examples around the world. To close off, two extra videos about how trees can (or cannot) help with climate change.

This month: after 5 years as a private initiative, Reforestation World is now a non-profit association, registered in Switzerland. We briefly talk about our past work and future plans. In addition, the video above and a short comment on the recent COP26 bring some perspective on the larger context for restoration initiatives. Enjoy the read and have a good start in the new year!

This is a special issue of Forest News!
