Real solutions to climate change require us to heal not just the planet, but our divided world. In this inspiring presentation we hear the story of how World Tree has created a movement of farmers, activists, investors, scientists and forestry professionals who are creating real change. Together. It started with three women, a tree, and an idea. That idea took root and 7 years later World Tree’s community has funded over 300 life-giving tree farms in 5 countries, covering a diverse range of people and cultures.
