Afforestation—establishing forests on previously non-forested land, or where forests have not existed for a long time—is one of the nature-based and cost-effective solutions for climate change mitigation because it offsets carbon emissions through carbon storage and can help reduce the effects of flooding. The European Union's Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 targets converting at least 10% of agricultural land into forest.
