Planting a trillion trees could cool the planet by 0.4 degrees Celsius by 2050, according to a new study by Swiss researchers. They used a global vegetation model to estimate the potential of reforestation to mitigate climate change and found that there is enough suitable land to grow a trillion trees without affecting existing agriculture or urban areas. #TrillionTrees #ClimateChange #Reforestation https://www.anthropocenemagazine.org/2023/08/a-trillion-trees-could-cool-the-planet-but-where-to-get-them-theres-a-massive-disconnect/?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FArchetypes

Our Chairman, @gautam_adani, has pledged that the Adani Group will plant 100 million trees by 2030. It's the most significant http://1t.org pledge made in Indian history. The quest for a cleaner & greener India is the progress we need. #TrillionTrees
