At 9, Felix was inspired by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Wangari Maathai and called on his classmates to plant a million trees in every country in the world. The resulting Plant-for-the-Planet initiative became a worldwide student movement that is already implementing one of the global solutions to the climate crisis: Reforestation. In 2011 the students of Plant-for-the-Planet inherited the Billion Tree Campaign from their role model Wangari Maathai.<\/p>\n\n
Today, Felix is doing his doctorate at ETH Zurich with a thesis on trees. For Felix, Trees are a time joker: “Trees help us to keep global warming below the critical 2\u00b0C limit without triggering the dangerous tipping points. Trees give us people a second chance, which we hope to seize now so that the climate crisis does not become a catastrophe.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":910,"template":"","acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goforclimate.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/team\/902"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goforclimate.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/team"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goforclimate.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/team"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.goforclimate.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/910"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goforclimate.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=902"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
