Europe is destroying ancient forests in the name of 'green energy'
clean
Is burning wood to generate energy sustainable? It is according to the EU\'s renewable energy strategy — a policy that was meant to help the block reduce fossil fuel usage and lower greenhouse gas emissions. But in order to profit from EU subsidies, more and more coal-fired power plants have switched to burning firewood instead, which is having devastating consequences for Europe\'s forests.

Who speaks for the trees?

We travel to the Brazilian Amazon, where the forest is disappearing at an alarming rate and the trees\' last line of defense are the Indigenous communities that have lived among them for millennia. We also visit Ghana, where high oil and gas prices have led to a worrisome revival of cooking with charcoal and firewood. And experts from Scotland share secrets learned from their reforestation efforts.
