On 5 October 2023, we hosted a virtual Cloud Talk on “How useful are afforestation projects? Together with Kahlil Baker, the founder of a large-scale afforestation project in Nicaragua, and Silvana Comino, myclimate’s in-house expert for nature-based solutions, we gave an in-depth introduction to the Nicaraguan project (as seen on the Swiss TV channel SRF’s “10vor10” programme). We heard first-hand about the challenges of setting up the project and the day-to-day work. We also discussed why forest conservation and afforestation are essential for global climate protection, biodiversity and local communities. Kai Landwehr, Head of Corporate Marketing and member of the myclimate Management Committee, led the discussion.
