the Klimaforum09 founder, Tony Andersen, an architect and permaculturalist,
presented solution to climate change (and climate justice) called 10 000
Trees... it basically involved a global permaforesty scheme (based on soil
and plant ecology carbon farming / sequestration) AND a global energy
convergance (i.e. a global energy descent for the Global North and a global
energy ascent for the Global South)

as to numbers, I dont know... Tony claimed to have run the numbers, but I
havent seen a good breakdown

<http://permaculture.tv/save-the-planet-with-permaculture-tony-andersen-of-klimaforum09/>I
have used some of the 10 000 Trees strategy in presentations such as Formal
and Informal Permaculture Cooperation to Save the World
