On Arbor Day 2020, we are planting hope

The author advocates for the '1 trillion trees' movement, a global effort hosted by the World Economic Forum to plant one trillion trees by 2030 to combat climate change and stimulate economic growth, particularly in rural American communities.

• The World Economic Forum launched a global platform called 1t.org in January 2020 to coordinate international efforts to plant one trillion trees by 2030.
• Reforestation and the prevention of deforestation are identified as methods to potentially double the amount of carbon capture within forests in the United States.
• Investment in forest restoration is presented as an economic stimulus for rural communities; research from the University of Massachusetts Political Economy Research Institute indicates that every million dollars invested in tree planting and forest restoration can create up to 39.7 jobs.
