Bloomberg: Planting trees isn’t a simple solution to climate change
Planting the wrong tree species in the wrong places can be detrimental for nature and people. But knowing exactly what to plant where is not straightforward.

After the launch last week of the World Economic Forum’s Trillion Trees Platform, Nat Seddon talks to Bloomberg about the importance of planting the right species in the right places, and of ensuring that tree-planting doesn’t come at the cost of protecting and restoring intact ecosystems or distract from the need to keep fossil fuels in the ground.
