Cooling the planet with plants in 20 years

date:  27/11/2023

Climate Pact Ambassador and consultant from The Netherlands, Rob de Laet, is passionate about studying and spreading the word about the power of plants, more specifically forests. His proposal ‘Choose life, let’s cool climate chaos’ has been shared hundreds of times on social media. It focuses on explaining climate change and how to reverse it with nature-based solutions. 

‘While carbon gets all the attention, another factor is largely overlooked – water. Once we understand the full force of plants and the water cycle, we can confront the climate crisis with a whole new set of measures.’
