Statistics show the number of trees being planted is increasing, but conservationists say it is not meeting targets. Chris Matts, from the Woodland Trust, said "nature-based systems" are some of the most important tools for tackling climate change, but said bureaucracy was an issue. Government statistics show the number of trees being planted is increasing, but conservationists have said it is not keeping up with targets. "One of the main reasons for planting the trees is part of the local flood defence system, so that's why we wanted to get involved in making the whole area safer for the Neath residents." "The whole point is creating something for future generations," he said. Trees can help tackle climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide, offering cooler shaded areas in hot weather and acting as part of flood defence systems. The Climate Change Committee (CCC), an independent body advising UK nations, includes woodland cover as part of its recommendations for reaching emissions targets, as well as preparing for and adapting to the impacts of climate change.
