How a simple idea turned into a global movement

Over 91,666 children and youth have already been trained at our 1,608 Academies in 75 countries, where we teach each other about the climate crisis. As Climate Justice Ambassadors we fight for our future by planting trees, giving speeches, protesting and much more.

Why the world needs
a trillion more trees!

The world currently has three trillion trees and can host a trillion more. Trees are one of the most powerful tools that buy us time in the fight against the climate crisis. Only by restoring these forests, we will be able to keep temperature rise below 2°C.

Mexican Reforestation Projects

On the Yucatán Peninsula and the state of Mexico, we are planting trees to fight the climate crisis. Planting trees generates jobs, protects biodiversity, and captures the greenhouse gas CO₂. Trees buy us valuable time, which we need to use to reduce our CO₂ emissions.
