Project to Plant 3 Million Trees, One For Every Resident of the City
One might think that planting 96,000 trees is enough of an accomplishment, but this organization wants to plant 3 million – one for every city resident.
These corporate giants are joining Norway in helping to fund rainforest countries meet the UN's Paris Climate Agreement standards.
Corporate giants such as Nestlē, Unilever, and Marks & Spencer have joined the Norwegian government in creating a fund to find deforestation in Brazil.
According to AFP, the Norwegian government has already kickstarted the fund with a $100 million contribution. Donations from the private sector are expected to supply the extra $300 million by 2020.
The money will go towards helping rainforest countries under the UN's Paris Climate Agreement meet their promises and standards on schedule.
"The future of the planet depends on our common ability to both protect and restore forests at unprecedented scale," Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg said in a statement.
