Way back when, the idea of planting a million trees was set in motion. I missed this Economist film and article at that time, but while pursuing planting I have seen other related concerns, each of which is worthy of consideration (as we continue planting):

The Story Behind
Climate change: the trouble with trees

Why tree planting is not the panacea some had hoped

Here you will find some of the resources used in the production of The Economist’s film “Climate change: the trouble with trees” along with exclusive additional material. It is part of the “The Story Behind”, a film series that reveals the processes that shape our video journalism.

DONE THE right way, reforestation will help combat climate change. But it cannot solve the problem on its own. A combination of approaches will be necessary, to reduce fossil-fuel emissions and mitigate their impact. From the green-energy revolution to geoengineering, The Economist has discussed the merits of some of these other measures.

Getting forestation right
Trees can play a role in addressing climate change, by capturing carbon from the atmosphere. But the effectiveness of trees in such carbon sequestration is heavily dependent on how—and where—reforestation is pursued.
