The Guardian and Observer 2019 charity appeal has raised more than £1m for its climate emergency campaign in support of projects which aim to plant and protect trees, woodlands and rainforest.

More than 13,000 readers donated an average of £75 each to the appeal, which totalled £1,015,000 on Thursday night. The money will be shared between four charities: Woodland Trust, Trees for Life, Trees for Cities and Global Greengrants Fund UK.
