What is Plant-for-the-Planet and what does the organization do?

Plant-for-the-Planet drives climate action by combining youth empowerment, forest conservation and restoration, and advocacy. These elements are closely connected and reinforce each other to fight the climate crisis and support a liveable future.

We empower children and young people worldwide through climate education, training, and opportunities to take action as Climate Justice Ambassadors. They raise awareness, mobilize others, and advocate for climate solutions, including forest restoration, while leading their own initiatives.

In parallel, we practice the restoration and protection of biodiverse forests with our own projects and act in close collaboration with restoration organizations and local communities. Our work focuses on long-term ecosystem recovery.

To strengthen this work, we develop open-source digital tools that increase transparency and help monitor and scale forest restoration globally. These tools support both restoration organizations on the ground and partners, including donors, who want to understand their impact.

At the same time, we advocate for policies that enable forest conservation and climate justice, because lasting climate action requires both local engagement and systemic change.
