At last week’s United Nations Climate Change Conference in Nairobi, Kenya the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) announced its “Plant for the Planet: Billion Tree Campaign.”

Commenting Montgomeryshire AM, Mick Bates said: “The UNEP’s Billion Tree Campaign is brilliant. The goal is that recreating lost forests will also help biodiversity flourish, reduce erosion, and improve water availability.”

“This campaign is a practical programme in which anyone can play a pivotal role. It demonstrates how easily any person can help in the fight against climate change.

“There are other simple steps we can all practice to combat climate change. Other tasks include driving less and turning off electrical appliances that are on standby.

“The Billion Tree Campaign highlights the undemanding ways we can all contend with this growing threat. We must get measures against climate change into every government policy. Let’s all work together to make climate change a distant memory.”
