Denmark plans to plant 1 billion trees and reforest 10% of farmland, spending $6.1B to combat climate change.

Denmark has agreed to plant 1 billion trees and convert 10% of its farmland into forests and natural habitats over the next 20 years, aiming to reduce fertilizer use and combat climate change. This initiative, dubbed "the biggest change to the Danish landscape in over 100 years," will allocate 43 billion kroner ($6.1 billion) to acquire land from farmers. The plan also involves taxing livestock farmers for greenhouse gas emissions starting in 2030, targeting methane emissions from cattle and pigs.
