Can afforestment relieve our planet?
Tree planting has go the latest trend in tackling the climate crisis, motivating legions effectually the world to tap the incredible carbon absorbing potential of trees.

The key is ensuring that these admirable afforestation pledges turn into long-lasting trees and forests that back up livelihoods, communities and the planet. Just how? When planting copse and restoring forests, good intentions demand to be bolstered by stiff scientific discipline. Successful, prove-based afforestment initiatives showtime with considering the right tree for the right identify and the correct purpose.
On September 29, CIFOR-ICRAF in collaboration with the Global Landscapes Forum, volition host a half-day digital forum that will bring scientists, forestry experts, community leaders, investors and policymakers together to share insights and scientific testify to important tree planting initiatives and how to build back improve following the Covid-xix pandemic. Past sharing CIFOR-ICRAF's 70 years of experience across the global South in supporting successful tree planting and connecting efforts on biodiversity and landscape restoration, sustainable economic development and dismantling inequality, the forum aims to highlight the many ways to make tree planting adept for people and the planet.

Planting a trillion copse: a experience-skilful exercise or an important mission to relieve the planet? What does it take to make afforestment successful?
The discussion volition investigate some of the misconceptions almost tree-planting and expect at the pathways to restoring landscapes and growing trees that provide the greatest chance of success – for people and the planet. We will hear from researchers, community representatives and tree planting leaders who seek to build sustainable communities and business concern models.

Also the few headline-grabbing big pledges from companies this year, tree planting and mural restoration at calibration have struggled to attract sufficient investment. And yet, investment opportunities grow with commitments past governments to restore hundreds of millions of hectares through agreements like the Bonn Challenge and the New York Declaration on Forests, in improver to growing willingness among companies to make their supply chains more than sustainable.
This session will consider where investments in tree planting are happening and where the opportunities remain untapped. Investors – public and private – volition hash out their interests and their challenges.
fifteen:45-xvi:00
Landscape restoration is frequently a long-term and costly exercise. CIFOR-ICRAF have developed ii important mobile tools for farmers and restoration practitioners constitute the right tree in the right place for the right purpose, and collect information on how farmers are managing and protecting trees on their farms. CIFOR-ICRAF experts Roeland Kindt and Tor-Gunnar Vågen will explain how the vegetationmap4africa and the Regreening Africa App tin can help those involved in landscape restoration make improve decisions.
16:00-16:45
Afforestment techniques and technology, from species choice to considering natural regeneration, can aid reduce costs, improve survival rates while connecting communities. During the second session we volition consider what trees brand the most sense nether different climate scenarios, the office of biodiversity, where practise we plant which tree species – or let nature do the work through natural regeneration. New technologies, their applications to the time to come of tree planting and restoration will too be discussed.
