Tasks and idea of ​​the Climate Forest Foundation

The foundation creates new forests in Germany by planting purchased areas. The core idea: New forests that, as they grow, will naturally slow down climate change (through the binding of CO 2 in the wood) - with a concept that is geared towards sustainable use in order to favor climate-relevant aspects.

In addition to active new forest formation, the portfolio of tasks includes maintaining and securing existing forest areas, providing information on climate protection (especially with regard to useful measures to reduce emissions) and promoting projects (e.g. schools, children, young people and associations).

The foundation is managed by a three-person, honorary board . The second body of the foundation is the foundation council , which consists of up to 16 volunteer members and accompanies and monitors the work of the board.
