* Many companies are trying to achieve [[carbon offsets]] by [[nature-based solutions]] like reforestation, including mangrove forests and soil restoration. Among them are [[Microsoft]] and [[Eni]]. Increasing the forest cover of Earth by 25% will offset the human emissions in the last 20 years. In any case it will be necessary to pull from the atmosphere the {{CO2}} that already have been emitted. However, this can work only if the companies will stop new emissions and stop deforestation.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Hook |first1=Leslie |date=28 July 2020 |title=Business turns to nature to fight climate change |agency=Financial Times |url=https://www.ft.com/content/7d940587-4502-4468-acea-a67b7bf6a523 |url-access=subscription |access-date=28 July 2020 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20221210/https://www.ft.com/content/7d940587-4502-4468-acea-a67b7bf6a523 |archive-date=2022-12-10}}</ref>
