A tree can sequester up to 150 kilograms of carbon dioxide per year. The world\u2019s forests store an estimated 296 gigatonnes of carbon in both above- and below-ground biomass. Just imagine: Europe\u2019s 400 billion trees currently absorb almost 9 percent of the continent\u2019s greenhouse gas emissions!<\/p>\n

Trees are important for creating sustainable cities: in urban areas, they can cool the air by up to 8 degrees, reducing air conditioning needs by 30 percent. Urban trees are also excellent air filters, removing harmful pollutants and fine particulates.<\/p>\n

Wood fuel provides 40 percent of today’s global renewable energy supply \u2013 as much as solar, hydroelectric and wind power combined. Greater investment in technological innovation and in sustainably managed forests is key to increasing forests’ role as a renewable energy.<\/p>\n
