UN’s Billion Tree Campaign Hits its Seven Billion Goal Target
Global Climate Change Initiative Inspires Millions in Run-up to Crucial
Copenhagen Conference
New York/Nairobi, 21 September 2009 –The global public’s desire to see action on
climate change was clearly spotlighted today with the announcement that the Billion
Tree Campaign has reached 7 billion trees—one for every person on the planet.
Over the past three years millions of people ranging from scouts to presidents and from
schoolchildren to city dwellers and corporate heads have been rolling up their sleeves
and getting their hands dirty for the environment through tree planting.
Today’s milestone was reached with the news that the Government of China has planted
2.6 billion trees as part of this unique campaign, bringing the total to 7.3 billion trees
planted in 167 countries worldwide.
Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary General and Executive Director of the United
Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), said: “Seven billion trees, seven billion
commitments to action and seven billion reasons why governments should be inspired to
Seal the Deal at the crucial UN climate change convention meeting in Copenhagen in
less than 80 days’ time.”
“When this campaign was launched in 2006, there were those who said it could not be
done. But day after day and week after week, people have got out into their gardens,
parks and cities and into the countryside and the rural areas to prove the doubters
wrong,” he added.
“Above all the Billion Tree Campaign shows that the simple act of planting a tree
resonates and unites the child in the slums of Africa with a president in Mexico, or a
corporate CEO in Paris with UN peacekeepers in Timor-Leste. It is the kind of solidarity
that now needs to be expressed at the level of all governments and heads of state
between now and December in order to move economies towards a low carbon,
sustainable path,” said Mr. Steiner.
The Billion Tree Campaign was launched jointly with the World Agroforestry Centre
during the UN climate convention meeting in November 2006 in Nairobi, Kenya, under
the patronage of Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Professor Wangari Maathai and His
Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco.
Its initial goal was to catalyze the pledging and the planting of one billion trees as a way
of giving public expression to the challenges of climate change and also forest and
ecosystem degradation.

Since then the Billion Tree Campaign has more than surpassed its aims, evolving into a
true ‘People’s Campaign’ – more than half (52 per cent) of all the participants are private
individuals.
Furthermore, tree planting has become both an inter-faith and an inter-generational
activity, with the trees symbolizing connections between children and parents and
bringing together people from different religious backgrounds.
Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Wangari Maathai, the founder of the Kenyan Green Belt
Movement and the campaign’s co-patron, said: “Let’s plant even more trees to celebrate
this wonderful achievement, the fruit of collective action from people all over the planet.
By making the Billion Tree Campaign such an incredible success, people from every
continent are calling their governments to truly start caring for the planet and to find unity
in the fight against climate change.”
His Serene Highness Albert II, the Sovereign Prince of Monaco and the campaign's copatron,
said: “I have always had a strong belief in the symbolic strength of the Plant for
the Planet: Billion Tree Campaign and I am delighted that it has exceeded our greatest
expectations, far beyond the welfare linked to replanting trees, to benefit future
generations.”
Highlights of the Billion Tree Campaign
In the past eight months China planted 6.1 billion trees, of which 2.6 billion have been
given to the Billion Tree Campaign. With the announcement of these 2.6 additional
billion trees, the grand total number of trees planted for the campaign stands at 7.3
billion as of 21 September. The government planted 260 different species of trees in
eleven provinces around China, from Inner Mongolia to Yunnan and from Shandong to
Sichuan.
The announcement was made in New York on 21 September at a press conference
attended by international dignitaries, including Campaign Patrons Wangari Maathai and
Prince Albert II of Monaco, UNEP Executive Director Achim Steiner, China’s Minister of
the State Forestry Administration Jia Zhibang, and Mohamed Nasheed, the President of
the Maldives. The announcement coincided with Global Climate Week, an event
launched to mobilize global mass action around the UN high-level event on climate
change – including the Global Tree Planting Drive on19 September where people were
encouraged to plant trees on every corner of the planet.
A number of other countries around the world have planted impressive numbers of trees
since the campaign was launched. Countries that have planted more than a hundred
million trees range from Ethiopia (with 1.4 billion trees) and Turkey (711 million trees) to
Mexico (with 537 million trees) and countries including Kenya, Cuba, and Indonesia.
In addition to bringing governments to take concrete action to reforest their lands, the
Billion Tree Campaign has succeeded in catalyzing tree planting from all walks of
society, bringing together creative, original and pioneering initiatives around the world.
To name a few, the Replant New Orleans Initiative sponsored a planting of fruit trees to
help breathe new life into a community struggling with the aftermath of the 2005
Hurricane Katrina; the Greening Soweto Campaign is transforming dustbowls into treed
lanes in Soweto by capitalizing on South Africa’s preparations for the 2010 FIFA World
Cup; and 132 children in 56 countries have pledged to plant a total of one million trees
as part of the ‘Stop talking, Start planting’ campaign, which was started by an elevenyear-
old boy.
The economic gains of tree planting are powerfully illustrated by the Appalachian
Regional Reforestation Initiative. As well as being close to planting 38 million trees in the
Appalachian region, the North American organization has also devised a green job tree
planting proposal to stimulate the economy of Appalachia and reap the ecological
benefits of a region-wide reforestation effort.
In addition, the Campaign has mobilized groups and individuals in post-conflict areas
around the world, bringing the seeds of hope to communities in Afghanistan, Bosnia-Herzegovina,
Iraq, Liberia and Somalia among others.
The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has planted 9 million
trees in and around refugee camps around the globe, helping to plant hundreds of
thousands of acres of trees in Asia and Africa since the 1990s.
The United Nations Departments of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO) and Field
Support (DFS) have also participated in the campaign, with thirteen peacekeeping
missions having pledged 117,848 trees. Of this number 33,184 trees have already
taken root across various countries hosting peacekeeping missions. The campaign,
which encouraged the planting of indigenous trees appropriate to the local
environments, has not only witnessed the participation and enthusiasm of UN staff, but
also of the local communities in the different areas of operation.
The private sector has become a key player in the global campaign, accounting for
almost 15 per cent of all the trees planted. Multinationals from Accor to Bayer and from
Toyota to Coca-Cola East and Central Africa and Yves Rocher have been active tree
planters, along with hundreds of small and medium-sized companies the world over.
The campaign’s universal appeal is clear from its success on social networking sites,
with some 4,000 blogs adopting the cause early in the campaign.
Proving true its motto that ‘Every tree counts, and we count every tree, the Billion Tree
Campaign’s phenomenal success is a result of the participation of people of all walks of
life and from every corner of the planet.
Achim Steiner said: "When we first launched the billion Tree Campaign in 2006, people
truly responded. At first they planted hundreds of trees, then it was thousands, and then
millions-and then we reached 1 billion trees. Then we made the bold decision to issue a
call for the world to plant 7 billion trees, one for each person on the planet. And our
target even got exceeded: the counter now stands at 7.3 billion trees. As the
Secretary-General convenes Heads of State tomorrow for the Climate Summit, there can
be no more powerful sign of people's will that we need to seal the deal in Copenhagen."

Nr.: 9 Termin: von bis evtl. Ersatzwoche Nr.: 9 oder 9 Partner des DAV im Bereich Hütten, Wege und Naturschutz Die Versicherungskammer Bayern ist langjähriger Partner des Deutschen Alpenvereins. Der Natur etwas zurückgeben Die Teilnehmer der Aktion Schutzwald helfen fünf Tage lang unter fachlicher Anleitung in der alpinen Schutzwaldpflege und -sanierung mit: Sie pflanzen Bäume verschiedener Art, pflegen Zugangswege, bauen Hochsitze, räumen Sturmflächen oder helfen in der Jungwaldpflege. Während dieser Woche haben die Teilnehmer eine hervorragende Möglichkeit, die Alpen und den Bergwald einmal aus ganz anderer Perspektive kennen zu lernen. Insgesamt beteiligen sich pro Jahr rund 100 Helferinnen und Helfer an der Aktion Schutzwald. Die Termine für 2010 sowie Angaben zu Arbeiten und Unterkunft sind in diesem Faltblatt aufgeführt. Engagement für den Bergwald Ein gesunder Bergwald dient dem Boden- und Hochwasserschutz sowie der Trinkwasserversorgung und stellt einen natürlichen Lawinenschutz dar. Gebirgswälder haben jedoch aufgrund der natürlichen Gegebenheiten widrige Wachstumsbedingungen, so dass eine sorgfältige Pflege notwendig ist. Die so genannten neuartigen Waldschäden, bedingt durch Schadstoffbelastungen und veränderte Klimabedingungen, belasten den Wald zusätzlich. Das 1989 in Bayern begonnene Schutzwaldsanierungsprogramm soll die Schutzwirkungen der alpinen Wälder wieder herstellen und für künftige Generationen sichern. Hierzu leistet die Aktion Schutzwald einen wichtigen Beitrag. Im Jahr 2005 pflanzten Teilnehmer der Aktion den 800.000ten Baum. Die Aktion Schutzwald wurde 2007 mit dem Alpinen Schutzwaldpreis ausgezeichnet. Wichtige Informationen An der Aktion Schutzwald können Frauen und Männer ab 18 Jahren, DAV-Mitglieder und Nicht-Mitglieder teilnehmen. Die Anmeldung ist als Einzelperson oder kleine Gruppe möglich. Da die Arbeiten in steilem Gelände und abseits der Wege stattfinden, müssen alle Teilnehmer trittsicher sein. Ablauf der Woche: • Sonntag: Anreisetag. • Montag: Nach Einführung in die bevorstehenden Arbeiten durch Mitarbeiter des Forstbetriebes bzw. Amtes für Landwirtschaft und Forsten Beginn der gemeinsamen Tätigkeiten. • Freitag, früher Nachmittag: Aktionsende und Abreise. Unterkunft: Die Teilnehmer sind in der Regel in einfachen Hütten (Kochgelegenheit, Matratzenlager, Plumpsklo, Strom oder Gas, Waschgelegenheit) der Bayerischen Staatsforsten untergebracht und versorgen sich selbst. In manchen Fällen erfolgt die Unterkunft in bewirteten Hütten des DAV oder in anderen geeigneten Unterkünften (Ferienwohnung, Gasthaus). Voraussetzung: Ins Gepäck müssen ein Schlafsack, ein Leintuch (Hüttenschlafsack reicht nicht) und wetterfeste Kleidung. Bergstiefel mit harter Profilsohle für Arbeiten in weglosen Hängen sind unbedingt notwendig (Trekkingschuhe reichen nicht)! Lage der Einsatzgebiete Informationen auch unter www.aktion-schutzwald.de.
