The Grain for Green Program in China helps absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by planting trees and restoring ecosystems. By 2050, this program could store over 4 trillion grams of carbon, offsetting a small percentage of China's and the world's carbon emissions. Afforestation from this program accounted for a quarter of global carbon storage from 2000 to 2010. This shows that large-scale tree planting and ecosystem restoration can play a significant role in reducing carbon in the atmosphere.
