Denmark's afforestation plans underway amid EU's push to keep climate targets on track
It's the second week of the UN climate change conference in Brazil — one that has brought together world leaders, activists and experts in a push to tackle the worsening climate crisis.

It's an agreement that reflects at its core a concern over the continued ability of Europe's forests to act as carbon sinks. William Denselow filed this report for CNA from Denmark, a nation taking big strides to expand its forestland.
