REDD+ • Annual Global CO2 emissions up by 75% since the 60s. • From 9 million Kt. (Kilotons) to 36 million Kt.

1960 2013 • Currently rising

CO2

EMISSIONS • The average American’s carbon footprint is 15-20 tonnes per person per year. • The average Kenyan’s carbon footprint is 0.2- 0.4 tonnes per person per year.

• Forest destruction accounts for 10-15% of global GHG emissions • More than all the cars, planes, and trains put together. • Nature is 30% of the solution to climate change. • Protecting nature means securing our future CLIMATE CHANGE

“If warming is not tackled, levels of humid heat that can kill within KILIMANJAR hours will affect millions across O south Asia within decades, 1970 analysis finds.”

- The Guardian (Aug 2, 2017)

“Mt. Kilimanjaro’s forests are a vital source of water for the surrounding Picture by Cynthia Moss/ATE towns and the wider region. Higher temperatures as a result of climate A GLOBAL issue that change have increased the number affects us all, everywhere of wildfires on the mountain and thus accelerated the destruction of forests. Because there are now fewer trees to trap water from KILIMANJAR clouds, the annual amount of dew O on the mountain is believed to have fallen by 25% .” 2015

Including ENDANGERED SPECIES “Forests are the mother of streams. They nourish and protect the springs, and if they are destroyed the springs dry up, rivers cease to flow, people and their cattle have to move elsewhere and another bit of Africa is turned into desert. This is going on all the time.” ― Elspeth Huxley, Out in the Midday Sun
