Klimatskoga offers companies and households the opportunity to supplement their climate work with quality-assured climate investments in Sweden. We create local climate benefit and contribute to the global climate change required for us to reach the 1.5 degree target.
SWEDISH CLIMATE FORESTS
The climate benefit is created locally
Our climate forests consist of fast-growing deciduous trees that are planted on unused land in collaboration with farmers and in the Swedish countryside. In this way, the forest can absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and contribute to long-term sustainable development for both climate and society.
Scientific basis
Swedish research
Cultivation of Climate Forests is based on research from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), which shows that fast-growing trees are the most cost-effective way to quickly capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Their research has shown that with optimized cultivation methods and refined varieties of fast-growing willow trees, biomass growth and carbon dioxide uptake can be optimized while the climate benefit for Swedish conditions is maximized.

Efficient CO2 uptake
Fast growth
The climate forest is planted on land that is not used for food production. This creates new areas for carbon dioxide absorption. Through Klimatskogen's rapid growth, carbon dioxide is absorbed very efficiently from the air, while at the same time acting as a natural soil improver. A Climate Forest, for example, is estimated to absorb 5-10 times as much carbon dioxide as spruce and pine during the first 10 years, which maximizes the climate benefit. Read more
Biodiversity
Increase and promote local species richness
According to research from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), climate forests promote biological diversity in agricultural areas. In a cultivation of, for example, willow, more species of insects, plants and birds thrive than in the surrounding fields and in cultivations of spruce and pine forests. Read more
Biodiversity
Increase and promote local species richness
Climate forests promote biodiversity in nature and are an important resource for many species. Willow (Salix) is an important host for 640 species, of which just over 80 are red-listed, and another 670 species use them.
Careful follow-up
Satellites and measuring stations
We work with Carbon Space Ltd which gives us the opportunity to continuously verify the climate benefit. With the help of newly developed AI technology and satellites, we can measure the real CO2 uptake in our Climate Forests.
From local to global
Climate forest contributes to the global development goals
The driving force and motivation of climate forests are the global goals for the climate. Our goal is to contribute to Sweden becoming climate neutral. This means that we must take greater local responsibility for our CO2 emissions and reduce dependence on climate compensation in other countries.

The questioned climate compensation
Climate forest can create real climate benefits
Climate compensation and in particular tree planting have been criticized for providing uncertain climate benefits in the long term. Afforestation can also have negative social consequences for those affected and be detrimental to biodiversity. By planting climate forests in Sweden, we can prevent these risks and make it easier to control the climate benefits in a systematic and scientific way. Read more about climate compensation here
