It marks a shift in emphasis, and explicit acceptance of sustainable developmental goals.

Ethiopia 🇪🇹 planted a record-breaking 350 million trees 🌳 in 12 hours to fight the climate crisis and green the land. We need a global campaign for tree 🌲 planting. Low hanging fruit in fight against climate change...
