The call was made at the UN climate change conference with more than 100 countries in Kenya.

Maathai was the first black African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004. She said the campaign was aimed at giving people a sense of environmental protection. She also called on participants to make sure the trees were grown and raised.

According to scientists, the destruction of trees by forest fires has contributed to global warming, emitting about 370 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions each year, accounting for 5% of global emissions. Planting trees can partially offset climate changes as they absorb carbon dioxide.

This tree planting program, organized by UNEP, calls on all participants - including individuals, schools, and state organizations - to visit UNEP's website (www.unep.org/billiontreecampaign ) and sign a commitment to plant more trees.
