Global reforestation is the most effective measure against climate change. The world needs a trillion new trees to absorb two thirds of the CO2 emissions caused by humans. This is the conclusion of an ETH study. We spoke to Dr. Colin Averill, who was involved in the study.

The NIKIN team spoke to Dr. Colin Averill, Senior Scientist at the Crowther Lab at ETH Zurich.
NIKIN plants a tree for every product sold - and there is an important reason for this: trees are not only home to many animals, they also absorb CO2. A study by the ETH has now shown how important trees are for the environment. That's why we talked to someone who knows all about it. Dr. Colin Averill worked on the study and answered our most burning questions. We will be publishing his answers here at irregular intervals.How many trees does it take to stop climate change?
In the first part, we asked him the most important question straight away: How many trees do we need? His answer: one trillion. You can see how many trees are currently on earth in the video.
