Africa, with the aim of mitigating the consequences of climate change, will develop the project Great Green Wall. With fFunded by the World Bank, the European Union, and the UN, the initiative aims to plant a massive barrier of trees on the southern edge of the desert. It's estimated that by 2030, the Great Green Wall will be the largest living structure on the planet, with 8,000 kilometers of trees crisscrossing the continent.
“It’s been a decade and we have approximately 15% underway, the initiative is already returning lives to degraded landscapes in Africa on an unprecedented scale, providing food security, jobs and a reason to stay in the country,” says the organization on the initiative’s official website.
