IT'S TIME.....

"People everywhere are struggling with the fatal impacts of worsening extreme heat, which is also damaging economies, widening inequalities and undermining the world’s development goals, U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres said on Thursday.



Calling for global action to limit the devastating consequences, the head of the United Nations said “billions of people are facing an extreme heat epidemic – wilting under increasingly deadly heatwaves”.



Extreme-heat events have been getting more frequent, intense and longer-lasting in recent decades as a result of human-made climate change".







The love story between Trees and Carbon Dioxide

In recent years, trees have gotten a lot of attention as a top climate change solution. And while that remains true, in order for our collective climate efforts to succeed, reforestation needs to happen alongside other critical actions—such as reducing global emissions and protecting existing forests. That said, planting the right trees in the right place, at the right time, and for the right reasons, is a powerful Nature-based Solution.



Forests combat climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it in their biomass. According to World Resource Institute's Global Forest Review, the world’s existing forests absorb a net 7.6 billion metric tons of carbon from the atmosphere each year — equivalent to about 30% of what is emitted every year.

Trees remove many other harmful airborne pollutants that are associated with climate change. These include gaseous pollutants (gaseous molecules in the air) such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, and ozone, as well as particulate matter (a mixture of solid particle and liquid droplets in the air) like soot, smoke, dust, and organic chemicals.





A tree’s root system is responsible for nutrient and water absorption, utilizing roots as sensors to detect water-deficit conditions and send signals to shoots above ground. Drought-tolerant native species have water-seeking roots that penetrate deep into the soil to tap in to this moisture.
