Plant-for-the-Planet Foundation

🌱 "Stronger Together for Climate Justice" 🌍 The New Plant-for-the-Planet Academy is here! This fall, we gave our academy program a makeover! After 15 years and over 100,000 trained Climate Justice Ambassadors worldwide, we have adapted the program to meet the needs of the future. 🛠️ In 11 academies across Germany, 349 new Ambassadors have already been empowered with the new concept. It’s not just about knowledge — it’s about networks. Because we are stronger when we act together! Children and young people experience that they are not alone in the fight against the climate crisis. With Plant-for-the-Planet, they are part of a global movement advocating for climate justice. 🌱💪 The new program takes a holistic approach: 🌿 With the Net-Game, children experience how strong each individual can be within a network and how deeply connected we are to forest ecosystems. 🌿 In the Plan(t)-Game, they gain an understanding of complex climate crisis decisions in a playful way. 🌿 And of course, the legendary Planting Action remains an essential part! A special highlight: Every new Ambassador plans their own action, which will be implemented with the support of Plant-for-the-Planet! 🎯 As a grand finale, each child receives their Climate Justice Ambassador certificate and officially joins the network. The program has been evaluated by Prof. Dr. Norbert Frieters-Reermann and Bianca Löffelmann from the Institute for Education and Diversity Research at the Katholische Hochschule Nordrhein-Westfalen. Franziska Trefzer from FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg contributed her expertise, focusing on plan games in schools and higher education. 🚀 New: School Workshops! We now offer tailor-made workshops that bring the topic of climate justice directly into classrooms. 📚 Teachers are welcome to reach out! 🌱 Companies can also make a difference! By supporting our academies, businesses can help even more young people become part of this global movement. 👉 Be part of the change—help us fund the academies and take a stand for the future! https://lnkd.in/dWZUH5qy #ClimateJustice #PlantforthePlanet #ClimateEducation #ActForClimate #GenerationRestoration

Climate Action in the Implementation Crisis: Why We Need More Social Sciences 🌍 The conference of the Deutsches Klima-Konsortium e.V. at the Universität Augsburg highlighted an important point: to tackle the climate crisis, we must look beyond the natural sciences. Social sciences play a key role in unlocking the challenges in implementing climate action. How can we drive the urgent transformation forward? What solutions exist? Our colleague Ines Heinbach was there and shares her insights. Read more in our blog post. 👉 https://lnkd.in/dkVH9tdi

🔥 Our ambassadors truly are on fire 🔥 Not only was our Climate Justice Ambassador Emaan presented with an award for her climate advocacy work across pakistan and UAE, but she also got to meet her role model, Dr. Jane Goodall. 💪 Here’s what Emaan had to say about this meeting: “Dr. Jane Goodall’s acknowledgment of our efforts was truly humbling. Her life’s work, resilience, and vision have been a guiding light for so many of us striving to make a difference.” We are so proud of Emaan! 💚 Here’s to all those who are fighting for a better future, the young ones and the old! 🌱✨ #PlantforthePlanet #JaneGoodall #ClimateAction

🔥 Fighting Forest Fires Together! 🔥 Every day, our restoration partners around the world battle devastating forest fires. To support them, we launched the FireAlert app two years ago - providing free, real-time notifications whenever NASA or ESA satellites detect fires near their project sites. Today, projects in over 100 countries rely on FireAlert to protect forests. But it’s not just for restoration projects. FireAlert is also a valuable tool for ✨anyone✨ who needs fire data in areas without local sensors or alert systems. Whether you’re a researcher, a landowner, or a concerned citizen, you can use FireAlert to monitor fire activity and stay prepared. Now, we’re taking it a step further! FireAlert data is now integrated into the Plant-for-the-Planet platform, allowing donors to track whether their trees have been affected. 💪🏼 Stay informed. Take action. Protect our forests.

"No matter how big the vision, no matter how far you might feel from the “center of power.” — together you can make it happen." At 11 years old, Jule Schnakenberg became a Climate Justice Ambassador for Plant-for-the-Planet. Today, at 26, she is not just working at Plant-for-the-Planet but, more importantly, bringing climate justice to the International Court of Justice in The Hague. ✊🏼 Read more about the case and Jule’s participation in our latest blog post: https://lnkd.in/eBmeKMVV We couldn’t be prouder of Jule and are so lucky we can call her our teammate! 💚 Photo credit: Mert Kumru
