Restore forest cover

Planting more trees can lock up more carbon and help to reduce the effects of deforestation. Many regions and countries have already restored much of their forest. In the UK we have more than doubled our area of forest in the past 60 years. So we know how to do this and have seen that it can happen.

The UK is working with organisations such as WWF, the IUCN and the UN as part of the Global Partnership on Forest Landscape Restoration. Through this initiative we are sharing our skills and experience of reforestation with other countries, such as China.
