How does it work?

Our collective impact on the environment

World Vision worker, Pansiona, inspects a tree nursery in Uganda.

Greenhouse emissions from cars and electricity production in Australia have a negative impact on the whole world’s atmosphere, not just here. The result is climate change. And the world’s poorest people are the worst affected because they are the least equipped to cope with the changes.

Many of us are already doing our bit to cut down greenhouse gas emissions, like switching to energy-saving light globes and green energy for electricity.

World Vision’s new Twice As Green program lets you be even greener.

Your support will help the environment and change the lives of children and families suffering from climate change. But that’s not all. The trees we’ll plant on your behalf will also absorb the greenhouse gases (CO2) that are causing global warming around the world.

For as little as $18 a month, your support will contribute to:

Reforestation
Planting forest and fruit trees in countries like Mongolia and Malawi.

Natural re-vegetation
Re-vegetation in countries like Mali, Senegal, Chad and Ethiopia to restore eroded farmlands and regenerate degraded forests.

Sustainable farming
Training communities in organic and sustainable farming techniques in countries like Zambia. This will improve soil quality to increase crop yields so families have enough to eat.

Beyond ‘rain-fed’ farming
Training in diversified farming options in Ethiopia to reduce communities’ dependence on rainfall. Alternative farming options like beekeeping will generate a life-saving income for families who can no longer grow traditional annual crops like maize.

Energy-saving initiatives
Creating cleaner and sustainable fuel options in Tanzania and Ethiopia, such as energy-saving cooking stoves and solar cookers.

Reducing greenhouse gases
Planting and regenerating trees on your behalf to absorb greenhouse gases (CO2).
