Human-induced climate change and escalating environmental and social problems, including water scarcity, resource depletion, injustice, and inequity, pose significant global threats to human health and ecosystems.

Despite extensive global efforts, over one billion people remain in extreme poverty. Economic growth has largely excluded them and has come at the expense of our environment. Addressing these critical issues requires a concerted push for truly sustainable growth.

The Miyawaki method, pioneered by Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki, is an accelerated afforestation technique. It creates dense urban forests in 20-30 years, significantly faster than conventional methods. By planting diverse native species closely, plants grow upwards, resulting in a forest that is 30 times denser, grows 10 times faster, and becomes maintenance-free within three years.

To implement this method, select a site at least 4 by 3 meters that receives a minimum of eight hours of daily sunlight. The process involves soil preparation, purchasing native plant species, forest design, plantation, tying plants to support sticks, and initial watering and monitoring.
