About Johann:

Hi, I am Johann, 19 years old and currently live in Hamburg, Germany. Since 2014 I am a Climate Justice Ambassador for the youth organisation Plant-for-the-Planet. I love nature and so it was natural for me to fight for a greener future. I just can’t help feeling we can have a better world!

About speech: 

In the Workshop ‚Planting a trillion trees - Plant-for-the-Planet‘ I will tell you about the silver bullet against the climate crisis: the tree. I will talk about Plant-for-the-Planet and about the Trillion Tree Campaign. A project that aims to plant one trillion trees worldwide and seeks to repopulate the world‘s forests and combat the climate crisis as a nature-based solution. Additionally, I will show you how we work at Plant-for-the-Planet and more importantly how you can get active in the fight for a brighter future. Plant-for-the-Planet is an international children and youth initiative with over 88,000 ambassadors in 74 countries that aims to raise awareness amongst children and adults about the issues of the climate crisis and global justice. 
Plant-for-the-Planet also works to plant trees and considers this to be both a practical and symbolic action in efforts to reduce the effect of climate change. After the handover of the Billion Tree Campaign by the UNEP, Plant-for-the-Planet increased the goal of the initiative to plant a Trillion Trees.
