Forests are a game changer for ending poverty and ensuring a livable planet. They sequester carbon, clean the air we breathe, enrich the soil for farmers to grow crops, create jobs locally, and drive industries globally. They are also a lifeline for communities living in some of the poorest pockets of the world. Investments in forests are crucial to ending poverty on a livable planet. The World Bank Group is helping countries build forest economies that deliver jobs and social services that work for people and deliver for nature and climate.
