CO<sub>2</sub> emission to the atmosphere by the use of fossil fuels is estimated at around 5.5Gton-C/year. On the other hand, afforestation can reduce the CO<sub>2</sub> at the rate of 5.37ton-C/ha/year. .Hence if 1 G ha (100,000 km<sup>2</sup>) is newly afforested, all the CO<sub>2</sub> emission by the use of fossil fuels can be fixed. As a result, CO<sub>2</sub> emission can be efficiently encountered and it can solve the global warming issue. If 1 ha of afforestation cost is assumed as $1,600, the global warming issue can be solved at a cost approx. 1,600 Billion $ is raised by financial institution using the financial engineering and 1G ha is afforested. This created employment for people under poverty and also can increase the food supply. For more revenue can be generated by selling CO<sub>2</sub> emission rights and production of renewable energy.
