When he was nine years old, Felix Finkbeiner gave a class presentation on climate
change. The young German spoke about deforestation and its effect on the planet. At the end of
his talk, he challenged the people of his country to help by planting one million trees. Nobody
thought much would come of a nine-year-old’s school project. Before he was 20, however,
Finkbeiner’s efforts had resulted in the planting of more than 14 billion trees around the world.
Finkbeiner and his classmates began the project - named ‘Plant-for-the-Planet’ - by
planting the first tree outside their school. Other schools followed the example, and news of the
one-million challenge spread. As a result, Finkbeiner was asked to speak at the European
Parliament. Other invitations soon followed, and when he was just 13, he spoke at a United
Nations conference in New York. “We cannot trust that adults alone will save our future,” he
said in the speech. “We have to take our future in our hands.”
Finkbeiner is now in his twenties, and Plant-for-the-Planet is an organization with around
70,000 members. It works to teach people about climate change and to encourage the planting of
more trees. Germany’s one millionth tree was planted long ago. The goal now is one trillion -
150 for every person on Earth.

The world needs to do more to prepare for the impact of a rapidly ageing population, the UN
has warned - particularly in developing countries. Within 10 years the number of people aged
over 60 will pass one billion, a report by the UN Population Fund said. The demographic shift
will present huge challenges to countries' welfare, pension and healthcare systems. The UN
agency also said more had to be done to tackle “abuse, neglect and violence against older
persons”.
The number of older people worldwide is growing faster than any other age group. The
report, Ageing in the 21st Century: A Celebration and a Challenge, estimates that one in nine
people around the world are older than 60. The elderly population is expected to swell by 200
million in the next decade to surpass one billion, and reach two billion by 2050. This rising
proportion of older people is a consequence of success - improved nutrition, sanitation,
healthcare, education and economic well-being are contributing factors, the report says.
But the UN and a charity that also contributed to the report, HelpAge International, say the
ageing population is being widely mismanaged. "In many developing countries with large
populations of young people, the challenge is that governments have not put policies and
practices in place to support their current older populations or made enough preparations for
2050," the agencies said in a joint statement.
The report warns that the skills and experience of older people are being wasted, with many
under-employed and vulnerable to discrimination. HelpAge said more countries needed to
introduce pension schemes to ensure economic independence and reduce poverty in old age. It
stressed that it was not enough to simply pass legislation - the new schemes needed to be funded
properly.
