Global Greening and Trillion Trees Initiative for better reforestation and regreening of planet Earth.
                     Global Greening and Trillion Trees Initiative – News March 2023
Here is another project work for all friends of nature from our lovely Greening
Deserts founder explaining the importance of global greening for humanity 
and all other species. Nature and the forces of nature have supported the 
creation of this text, a person very connected to nature has written it. This 
article deals with the most important processes for all life and the biosphere on
planet Earth - the global greening process and urban greening. It is written in 
English and in a very simple language to make it easier to understand. The 
article and very important paper is also translated into many other languages 
to understand some things even better. First we will look at the concept and 
terms, later different functions, meanings, possibilities and potentials.
Global greening and regreening is the process of restoring natural ecosystems 
and increasing the amount of green space on the planet. This involves 
reforestation, increasing the amount of vegetation in cities, and other 
measures to increase the amount of green cover on the land. Global greening 
is important for a variety of reasons, including providing habitats for wildlife, 
reducing air and water pollution, and mitigating the effects of climate change. 
It also provides an important source of food, fuel, and fiber for many people 
around the world. There is human-made greening and natural greening, you 
can build your own opinion – but read more to understand bad, good and other
sides or aspects. Green is not always green, most people should finally 
understand, because if we talk about green we mean mostly nature, 
environmental friendly things or just green colors – but nature is not just green
and blue like most of the 'experts' and media try to tell you. It is much more 
and to bring some colours and diversity into these topics Greening Deserts 
started the Global Greening and Trillion Trees Initiative some years ago. 
Global greening efforts can be undertaken by businesses, governments and 
individuals in many countries. It is a continuous work and long-term 
investment that can have positive effects on both, our economy and 
environment. With the right plans and policies in place, global greening efforts 
can help to reduce poverty, improve public health and create a more equitable 
world for everyone – it even can accelerate the global cooling and peace 
process. Governments can invest in real sustainable reforestation projects and 
green initiatives to help to reduce man-made climate change impacts and 
provide healthier environments or habitats for their citizens and also all other 
humans worldwide. Businesses who do or support global greening solutions 
and invest in green technologies, renewable energy sources, cleantech or 
greentech can reduce the carbon footprint or emissions, pollution and increase 
their sustainability. Individuals can also taking part by planting trees, reducing 
energy consumption, much waste and start advocating for greener or more 
sustainable solutions.
Global greening is an important part of creating a better and greener future on 
planet Earth along with all life forms. To re-green and reforest the biosphere, 
nature is our greatest ally, everyone else who thinks they or their partners are 
or have "the solution" are lying. You can read here the best, only and really 
true solution - nature and many will prove it to you, as so many times before. 
Read more now about how the Global Greening organization began as a private
and collaborative project, how it became a worldwide movement and finally an 
institution.
The Global Greening Project and future organization was founded many 
years ago as the main project of the Greening Deserts and Trillion Trees 
Initiative. The founder published many articles, innovative ideas and papers 
about the regreening and reforestation movement. GlobalGreening.org is 
and will be the main platform in the future, also for the development 
organization. The project is linked to Greening Deserts developments such as 
the global Greening Camps. It has long been a private initiative as part of the 
Trillion Trees Project. The Global Greening Institution wants to build an 
additional platform for Southern Europe and Africa, including the Drought 
Research Institute with its online platform DroughtResearch.com. With 
real active and financial support, the Global Greening Institute will also build a 
real building with the first nations that will really support us this year and have
supported us in the first days - the Greening Campus and Institute can be built
at any major Greening Camp still in the first year! All the organizations that 
have supported us financially will also be the main partners or sponsors, 
depending on the form and amount of support they have provided. They will 
make world history (or not) and some have even already made it, because 
historical archives, libraries and universities have stored a lot of background 
and information sent to them – same with the projects DesertForest and 
WetForest.org.
Global greening is one of the most important goals and tasks of humanity that 
can be achieved through a combination of cultural, individual, regional, societal
and international efforts. Global greening is also global cooling and promotes 
or supports peacebuilding and peacekeeping. People in a healthier and greener
environment are more peaceful and healthy. Together we humans can restore 
our natural ecosystems, reduce negative climate change effects or harmful 
man-made influences on nature and create a better future for us and planet 
Earth. There are a number of general and potential solutions for global 
greening like explained in this article. Most of them can be implemented at a 
local, regional, national and global level. Read also more on our project and 
network pages to understand the complexity and connections.
Before continuing with the main topics of the article, the Global Greening 
and Trillion Trees Initiative initiators are proud to announce some really 
great news! We have planned tree planting campaigns for 58 billion trees in 
North, East and West Africa - many tree species should be African, native or
indigenous and endangered species, we hope international experts will also 
help us with this. Some countries where greening camps were started years 
ago will of course be included, such as  Algeria, Ghana, Kenya, Rwanda, 
Tanzania and Uganda - of course, only if the governments allow and support it.
Responsible people of all affected regions will be included, informed and asked 
for support, especially before tree planting activities will begin. We hope many 
environmental organizations and nations will support the actions and efforts.
For more diverse trees and plants in northern regions we plan to cultivate and 
share also many species of marshlands, moor-, swamp- and wetlands. The 
focus is on wet forests but also on woods and many single trees in tundra 
landscapes. The plan is to plant up to 100 billion trees in taiga and tundra 
regions, this will also help to cool down the regions, prevent permafrost 
thawing and higher methane releases! Each day counts and we hope the 
northern nations will support us fast as possible to build the first greening and 
ecosystem restoration camps there. 
Another good news is that we plan tree planting actions, campaigns and 
greening camps for 42 billion native Australian trees like the methane 
composting or storage trees. More tree species will be planted of course, not 
just in Australia but also in South Asia. The MethaneStorage and 
WetForest.org projects are also part of the global greening process and to 
establish more healthier and resilent ecosystems who can store and transform 
more greenhouse gases! More wet forests and wetlands with trees are 
essential to reduce warming of forests and wetlands, to prevent dry forest soils
and methane storage capacities. Check Greening Deserts articles and posts or 
tweets of the Trillion Trees Initiative and @TrillionTreesEU, too. 
Understand why global greening is so important for all life on planet Earth and 
what vertical farming and urban greening can do to improve global greening 
efforts. 
Global Greening is a term used to describe the process of increasing 
vegetation cover and plant growth across the planet. One of the main causes 
of global greening is the rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere due 
to human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels. Carbon dioxide is an 
important nutrient for plants, and higher concentrations in the atmosphere 
have led to increased growth and expansion of forests and vegetation around 
the world. Despite the positive effects of global greening, deforestation 
remains a significant problem, particularly in regions such as the Amazon 
rainforest and Indonesia, where large areas of forest are being cleared for 
agriculture, mining and other forms of industrial or problematic developments. 
Deforestation has serious environmental consequences, leading to biodiversity 
loss, increased carbon and methane emissions, soil erosion and land 
degradation. The opposite of Global Greening is Global Browning, a process 
that is unfortunately increasing rapidly every year.
Vertical Farming is an innovative agricultural technique that involves growing
crops in vertically stacked layers using artificial light and controlled 
environmental conditions. Vertical farms can be set up in urban areas and can 
produce high volumes of crops and trees without requiring large amounts of 
land or water. Vertical farming can contribute to global greening and 
reforestation in several ways. First, it can help reduce pressure on natural 
forests and ecosystems by providing an alternative source of food and 
resources. Second, it can increase overall vegetation in urban areas, which can
help mitigate the effects of urban heat islands and provide a number of other 
benefits, such as improved air quality and reduced noise pollution. Vertical 
farming is the future of efficient and sustainable agriculture for urban areas. It 
can help combat climate change by reducing the carbon footprint and harmful 
impacts of conventional agriculture. By growing crops locally and using energy-
efficient technologies, vertical farming can significantly reduce the carbon 
emissions associated with transporting food long distances and producing it 
using conventional farming methods. By using urban land such as rooftops and
walls for agriculture, cities can increase their food security while reducing their 
carbon emissions. For example, rooftop gardens and urban greenhouses can 
provide fresh produce to local communities, reduce the urban heat island 
effect, and capture rainwater that can be used to irrigate crops.
Many of these reasons were also a factor why Greening Deserts has been 
developing concepts and projects like the Urban Greening Camp for years. 
Innovative methods and techniques have been further developed as well as 
interesting Vertical Farming developments have been shared with the society - 
also regionally and internationally. Since 2016, three advanced types of 
greening facilities have been developed, the main facilities are Greening Camps
for land sites with agroforestry, agrovoltaics, greenhouses and nursery. 
Rainwater or seawater treatment plants, solar and wind energy will provide the
needed energy - more energy can be stored in energy storage parks and 
converted to hydrogen. The second type is a model urban greening facility, the 
concept of Urban Greening facility includes extended Vertical Farming concepts,
Cleantech and Greentech developments and in principle can be established in 
any major city as a specialized nursery for city and people. These concepts are 
unique and have been published several times by Greening Deserts founders 
on different networks and sites!
The vision is that all major regions affected by deforestation, desertification, 
and land degradation can use these camps to do reforestation, regreening or 
revegetation, soil improvement and freshwater harvesting faster and more 
efficiently than any other solution ever. Copying the concepts only confirms 
that Greening Deserts' developments work. The best thing would be to ask and
involve the founder, together we can improve and develop Greening Camps 
much further, even to the Moon and Mars - just kidding, but the reality is that 
the world could use thousands of such facilities to really reduce and then stop 
man-made desertification and land degradation! We must ask ourselves why 
officials and responsible people or organizations who know this since years still 
do not support Greening Deserts? This ignorance is not only killing the 
environment and many life forms every year, it will destroy all humanity! Time 
is running out, every day counts.
Here come some more important points about why urban greening and
global greening are so important to all of us - and why they are the 
only big, comprehensive or realistic global solution to urban greening, 
global greening and cooling. The article is written in very simple and 
english language that even children can understand.
Urban greening, ecological forestry, and sustainable cropping solutions such 
as agroforestry and regenerative agriculture are important components of 
global greening efforts. These approaches can help increase vegetation cover, 
restore degraded ecosystems, and mitigate the effects of climate change. 
Urban greening refers to increasing vegetation cover in urban areas. This 
includes planting trees, creating green spaces, and using green roofs and 
walls. Urban greening has several benefits such as improving air quality, 
reducing the heat island effect, and increasing biodiversity. Urban greening can
provide a source of food and other resources, which can help reduce pressure 
on natural ecosystems. It has a positive impact on biodiversity and provides 
more healthy habitats for people and a variety of animal and plant species - 
similar to the concept of allotment gardens developed in Leipzig. All of these 
measures help create more green spaces that can provide important habitat 
for many native species, especially insects and pollinators such as bees, 
butterflies and wasps.
Ecological forestry or ecoforestry, is an approach to forest management 
that aims to balance environmental, social, and economic goals. Ecoforestry 
focuses on preserving natural ecosystems, using sustainable harvesting 
techniques, and involving local communities in forest management. Ecoforestry
can help maintain and restore forest ecosystems that are critical for carbon 
sequestration, biodiversity, and the provision of ecosystem services. 
Agroforestry is an agricultural technique that combines growing trees with 
cropping or raising livestock. This approach can help increase soil fertility, 
reduce erosion, and provide farmers with a source of income. By planting trees
in and around cropland, farmers can improve soil health by increasing soil 
organic matter and improving soil water-holding capacity. Trees can also 
provide shade and windbreaks for crops, which can lead to reduced water use 
and increased crop yields. Agroforestry can also contribute to global greening 
by increasing vegetation cover and restoring degraded lands. Agroforestry and 
regenerative agriculture can also help improve the health and resilience of soil 
ecosystems. Through the use of crop rotations, cover crops, and natural 
fertilizers, these approaches can improve soil fertility and reduce the need for 
synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. This can help reduce the environmental 
impact of agriculture and promote the long-term sustainability of food 
production.
Regenerative agriculture is an agricultural approach that focuses on 
restoring soil health and using sustainable agricultural practices. Regenerative 
agriculture can help increase soil carbon sequestration, reduce greenhouse gas
emissions, and improve biodiversity. This approach can also contribute to 
global greening by increasing vegetation cover and restoring degraded lands. 
One of the most important benefits of regenerative agriculture is its potential 
to sequester large amounts of carbon in the soil. Carbon sequestration refers 
to the process of taking up and storing carbon from the atmosphere in plants 
and soils. By increasing the amount of organic matter in the soil, regenerative 
agriculture can help store large amounts of carbon, which in turn can mitigate 
the effects of climate change. Together with agroforestry and vertical farming, 
these are the best sustainable farming practices that can contribute greatly to 
global greening, healing and re-greening. 
Another important factor to consider in global greening efforts is the role of 
technologies. Advances in technology have the potential to significantly 
improve sustainable land use practices, including urban greening, ecological 
forestry, agroforestry, and regenerative agriculture. For example, precision 
agriculture technologies can be used to optimize crop yields while reducing 
fertilizer and water use, promoting sustainable land use practices. Similarly, 
remote sensing technologies can be used to monitor and map changes in forest
cover and land use, providing valuable information for forest management and 
conservation. It is important to recognize that the use of some technologies in 
global greening efforts should be approached with caution. While some of the 
technologies have the potential to improve sustainable land use practices, they
can also have negative impacts on the environment and society. For example, 
the use of genetically modified crops can lead to the loss of genetic diversity 
and the emergence of new pests and diseases. The use of technology in global 
greening and green developments, honest climate and environmental 
protection should be led by really good experts and responsible scientists, 
especially those with strong ethical and legal frameworks - like the Scientists 
for Global Responsibility. This includes policies and regulations that promote 
the safe and responsible use of technologies and the protection of biodiversity 
and ecosystems.
Global Greening must not be misused for Greenwashing or Treewashing, as it
has unfortunately already happened with many tree planting and 
environmental protection campaigns. You only have to search the media and 
the internet for terms like 30x30, Carbon Credits, Green Colonialism, 
Greenwashing, Land Grabbing, Net Zero and New Green Deal or Nature 
Positive and you will find a lot of scandals and scarry backgrounds. Read also 
more about all the problems with carbon credits, which even made the global 
situation immensely worse. The same goes for biodiversity credits and the idea
of financialization of nature and a nature market.
Urban greening, ecological forestry, and sustainable agricultural 
solutions such as agroforestry, permaculture, regenerative agriculture,
and vertical farming are important components of global greening efforts. 
These main solutions can help increase healthier and more natural vegetation, 
restore degraded ecosystems, and mitigate the effects of climate change. By 
combining these approaches with other measures such as reducing greenhouse
gas emissions and promoting sustainable development, humanity may be able 
to stop accelerating global warming, biodiversity loss, and mass extinctions 
before it is too late - around the year 2030? It is no joke and very serious, 
some tipping points have already been passed and any further tipping point is 
likely to trigger cascading effects that cannot be stopped by human action!
Most developments require a holistic approach that takes into account the 
social, cultural, economic and environmental dimensions of sustainability. This 
also requires collaboration and partnership among various stakeholders, 
including governments, civil society, the private sector, and local communities. 
For this reason, Greening Deserts established the GlobalGreening
