Climate change (CC) has become such an important economic, social and environmental issue that it has been renamed the “climate crisis” in mainstream discourse. This crisis highlights the urgency, especially as many countries report an increase in climate-related events. Europe has set many goals to address the climate crisis using a top-down approach; at the other end of the spectrum, individuals are motivated to act, but many are unsure of how and where to act.

LIFE Terra aims to create a movement that plants 500 million trees in 5 years, harnesses and monitors nature’s own carbon sequestration mechanism and empowers citizens to take urgent action against the climate crisis. It will unite stakeholders through a platform that will facilitate tree planting, engage future generations through key communication and education activities, and monitor progress on cutting-edge European technologies to support a sustainable long-term business model for soil restoration and large-scale carbon sequestration.
