The Carbon Clock shows how long it will take for the global average temperature to rise by 1.5 °C compared to the pre-industrial era at the current CO₂ emission rate. In the event that we fail to meet this target, the risk of triggering tipping elements in the Earth’s climate system as well as uncontrollable chain reactions increases significantly.
We are running out of time!
The future is in our hands!
Atmospheric CO₂ can be stored in trees. Every tree planted helps us to slow down the clock.
Holistic Approach – Maximum Impact!
We are convinced that reforestation means more than just planting trees. Our approach strives for an ecologically, socially and also economically sustainable solution that benefits everyone.
Effective Climate Action
CO2-Sequestration on 3 Levels
Each tree planted stores carbon. At some stage, its timber will be used in construction whilst still retaining the stored carbon; more trees can grow in its place in the meantime. Furthermore, this will reduce greenhouse gas emissions as steel and concrete are being replaced.
Sustainable Income
Empowered Smallholder Farmers
We work hand-in-hand with hundreds of smallholder farmers in the tropics, equipping them with free tree seedlings and education. Planting trees and intercrops (agroforestry) provides them and their families with sustainable incomes.
Maximum Transparency
Reliable Data About Every Single Tree
We scan the planted trees at regular intervals using our TREEO app. This enables us to track exactly where the trees are located and how they are developing.

Jubiya Central Forest Reserve – Sustainable and Real Alternatives to Deforestation in Uganda
The rapid demographic growth in Uganda drives an increasing demand for firewood and agricultural land, putting enormous pressure on the country’s forests. As a result, Uganda’s forest cover has been shrinking at an alarming rate, threatening both biodiversity and the livelihoods of local communities.
Shaping Climate Solutions: Carbon Workshop at the Timber Innovation Center in Kampala
Fairventures Worldwide Uganda together with TREEO hosted a workshop on Carbon Sequestration at the Timber Innovation Center (TIC).The TIC aims to promote and advance sustainable timber construction in Uganda and wider East Africa. It was built by Fairventures Worldwide and opened in June 2023.
Partnership at eye level
The ChanceMaker Foundation has been supporting the ChanceMakers of Fairventures Worldwide (FVW) since 2022, linking the two organisations in a long-term partnership that is reflected in the way they support each other and in their mutual understanding. In this blog post, we take a closer look at the partnership from both perspectives.
