Tree Planting
in Italy
The number of trees planted will depend on the
total funds raised through the trial with digital
certi昀椀cates provided to clients for each tree
planting transaction.
As part of Air Partner’s commitment
to carbon o昀昀setting, we have recently
launched a six month tree planting trial,
as another way in which our customers
can reduce the environmental impact
associated with 昀氀ying.
Working in collaboration with Climate Impact
Partners, we have chosen Italy as the location
for this initiative.
Planting trees is crucial for several reasons.
Forests serve as vital carbon sinks, absorbing
emissions and helping to reduce the impact of
greenhouse gases on the environment. In fact,
European forests currently absorb around 10%
of the EU’s total emissions. By planting trees, we
can increase the capacity of these carbon sinks
and support a more sustainable future.
Rest assured that your money will directly
support tree planting e昀昀orts. Climate Impact
Partners has extensive experience in tree
planting initiatives. In previous projects, they
have supported reforestation e昀昀orts in Germany,
focusing on species like Douglas 昀椀r and larch
for their resilience to environmental factors
and infestations. In the Netherlands, their tree
planting activities aimed to create biodiverse and
climate-resistant forests, considering ecological
conditions and the promotion of new nature on
previously used agricultural land.
By participating in this trial and supporting
tree planting, our clients will join us in making
a meaningful contribution to our collective
environmental goals. Together, we can create a
more sustainable future for generations to come.
The trial began in September 2023 and will run
