Iberdrola is launching the Trees programme to promote the planting of 20 million trees in this decade, in line with the main international biodiversity commitments. The plan's first goal is to have planted 2.5 million trees by 2022, and 8 million by 2025. Between them, they will capture approximately 6 million tonnes of CO2 over 30 years.
