Description

The WorldForest Climate Initiative serves as a neutral funding platform within the EU and is equally aimed at companies, non-profit organizations, public institutions, as well as private individuals. With a focus on climate protection, environmental and nature conservation, and energy efficiency, the initiative continuously awards grants for the implementation of large-scale reforestation projects. Particular emphasis is placed on adhering to the highest ecological and social standards. In this context, politics, business, science, and civil society work together to permanently bind CO₂ in forests and effectively slow the global temperature rise. The flexible application process allows interested parties to submit their project ideas at any time and benefit from a transparent funding structure.

The objective of the funding is the practical implementation of an international reforestation program in line with the 2-degree target. Based on a proposal for the Bonn Challenge by Prof. Dr. Dirk Radermacher and the Senate of the Economy, areas are reactivated to make a sustainable contribution to slowing climate change through the planting and care of forests. This measure complements CO₂ reduction strategies and, by removing and permanently binding greenhouse gases, makes a decisive contribution to achieving the Paris climate goals. Interested project sponsors receive not only financial support but also benefit from an established network and professional guidance to effectively implement their reforestation initiatives.
