Can planting trees solve the climate crisis?

Our question this week comes from a father and his two boys, who want to know if it is possible to plant enough trees to soak up all the extra carbon we put into the atmosphere.

Our question this week comes from a father and his two young boys.

They want to know whether it’s possible to plant enough trees to soak up all the extra carbon we are putting into the atmosphere?

The quest to find answers takes us to a remote reforestation project in the Carpathian Mountains in Romania which could be a model for other projects looking to tackle the climate crisis through reforestation.

We speak to experts to find out how much tree planting and reforestation can do in helping combat the climate crisis.
