What is Green World Campaign?

The Green World Campaign (GWC) has a bold agenda: Catalyze a global movement to reforest our planet, raise the living standards of the rural poor, and combat climate change. Its far-reaching aim — to plant hundreds of millions of trees while lifting millions of people out of poverty. The Green World Campaign has been cited by OnEarth, the magazine of the Natural Resources Defense Council, for its bold agenda: Turn degraded lands green again. Create holistic ways to work for the health of our shared biosphere and the harmony of our global village.

Why do we need Green World Campaign?

The Earth is losing its trees and healthy soils. After trees are cut down, the land loses its fertility. Hunger and conflict grow. Biodiversity dwindles, and water supplies dry up. The deserts creep forward, hastening climate change. To make up for all this problems the Green world Campaign was made.

The Plan

Plant trees. Support Eco-agriculture. Our holistic approach heals degraded soil and increases food security, creating sustainable rural communities. Helping woodland landscapes to thrive removes CO2 from the air, preserving the environment for generations to come.
