Klimaforum09
does not just work for climate change, it works for systems change
a forum where activists start working with grassroots
network for activists/grassroots
practical actions meet radical actions

Tony Andersen, Activist to Grassroots

Tony Andersen, 10 000 Trees

10 000 Trees Strategy
A Practical Strategy for Climate Change

1 TON CO2 / 10.000 TREES PROJECT
Permaculture
Climate change
Carbon sink in ecology: trees, mostly soil
More 10,000 TREES / person / lifetime
Less 1 TON CO2 / person / year
Failing U.N. Climate Conference process
Parallel activist/grassroots conference Klimaforum
International permaculture network

2 Aspects
Planetary Permaforestry
10 000 Trees per person
Global re-afforestation project
Perennial polyculture
Agroecology
Food sovereignty
Ecological agriculture
Global Energy Descent
1 ton C02 quota per person per year
100 Euro Carbon tax after 1 st ton
100 Euro tax pays for planetary permaforestry

Permaculture
Permaculture - the idea, practice and global and local success
Ethics: Earth Care, People Care, Fair Share
Perennial Polyculture i.e. food forests, ecological argriculture, organic
"On one level, permaculture deals with plants, animals, buildings, infrastructures (water, energy, communications). However, permaculture is not about these elements themselves, but rather about the relationships we can create between them by the way we place them in the landscape."
– founder Bill Mollison, 1991.Introduction to Permaculture” (p. 1).

Climate Change
Climate Change - the massive catastrophic problem
Climate change is real, probably worse IPCC
Carbon Finance is dangerous
Climate change denial is universal
Coal is the worst source, and must be stopped

Carbon sink
Carbon sink - a new category for locking, permanently ecology as carbon sinks in forest and soil
New global land-use category is Carbon Sink
Local perennial polyculture, ecological agirculture scales to global solution

Less than 1 TON CO2 pr. person pr. year
Less than 1 TON CO2 pr. person pr. year - global energy descent and emissions reductions targets
1 tonne per lifeyear (per person) quota of carbon emissions, after which a carbon tax
carbon tax of 100 euro per tonne
all companies and international transport pay 100 euro per tonne
carbon markets & carbon trading are stopped

U.N. Climate Conference 2009
failure of the official process
danger of carbon finance

Permaculture network
The Permaculture network - massively expanding a global, democratic, locally-controlled permaculture network
Expand from 500 global institutes to thousands

100 Euro / Ton Carbon Tax
carbon tax of 100 Euro per tonne
all companies and international transport pay 100 euro per tonne i.e. no quota
carbon markets & carbon trading are stopped
carbon tax spent on perennial polyculture (permaculture) style forestry programs

Permaforestry
carbon tax spent on perennial polyculture (permaculture) style forestry programs
perennial polyculture and soil become carbon sinks
local permaculture groups implement 10 000 trees program, expanding existing permaculture institutes from a few hundred into the 10s of thousands
if 5000-7000 trees can be planted per person in the next 25 years we can stablise extreme climate change

Soil & Tree Carbon Sinks
best means to take C02 (GHG) from the atmosphere is not technical means, it is trees
Most carbon is sequestered (trapped) in soil, partly in trees
