Support our work for climate protection!

Extreme weather conditions that could lead to natural disasters like the one in Germany's Middle Rhine Valley in mid-July 2021 will become more frequent as a result of climate change - scientists leave no doubt about that. But what conclusions do we draw from the alarming forecasts of unlimited global warming, which would have devastating consequences on a local and global level? In a series of projects, the Global Nature Fund (GNF) shows how effective action can be taken to reduce climate-damaging emissions.

Three projects, one goal: Climate Protection

In Bangladesh and India, the GNF provides concrete climate protection on site. While mangroves in South Asia are deforested on a large scale for aquaculture ponds, the GNF partnerorganizations in the project "SAIME" (Sustainable Aquaculture in Mangrove Ecosystems) have already planted more than 100,000 new seedlings. The salt-tolerant plants store more carbon than any other forest - up to 1,000 tons per hectare. Here, farmers plant mangroves directly into their aquaculture ponds, with positive effects for biodiversity and climate.

Companies are addressed by a number of GNF projects dealing with the topic of forest regeneration. The fact that trees are an essential factor to bind carbon from the atmosphere or to keep it bound has become common knowledge. With consulting services, the GNF wants to help companies to take on private sector responsibility. In August, "ELAN" startes, a project for deforestation-free supply chains, whose funding commitment was personally handed over to the GNF by German Federal Minister for the Environment Svenja Schulze on 19 August 2021.

What global warming means for water bodies in Germany is currently being investigated by the GNF in the "Flash Light Study Lakes and Climate Change". Temperatures, precipitation amounts, flood events - what had shocking consequences in the west of our country in the summer of 2021 is also the focus of the study, for which the GNF benefits from the diverse partnerships in the Living Lakes Germany network.
