Planète Urgence has published its 2025 activity report, a document that highlights a year of concrete actions in support of tropical forests, the climate, and local communities.
“The world has never needed solidarity more, nor the effort to rewrite a shared future and carry a vision that brings people together. (…) Together will be the only way to advance this vision of a symbiosis with our environment and with forests.”
Sébastien Pinchon, General manager of Planète Urgence
For over twenty years, Planète Urgence has been working in regions where deforestation threatens both forest ecosystems and the populations that depend on them. The NGO is guided by a strong conviction: forest conservation is inseparable from human development.
Protecting tropical forests also means supporting local communities, strengthening their resilience to climate change, and securing their livelihoods over the long term.
Thanks to its local offices in countries of operation and close collaboration with local stakeholders, Planète Urgence develops projects tailored to the social, environmental, and economic realities of each territory.
Les actions sont concentrées dans les trois grands bassins forestiers tropicaux : bassin du Congo, bassin du Bornéo-Mékong et Amazonie, selon trois critères majeurs :
The year 2025 confirms the concrete impact of the actions carried out by Planète Urgence in the field:
These results reflect a strong collective dynamic driven by teams, partners, donors, volunteers, and local communities.
On the ground, several milestones marked the year: the launch of a first project in the Brazilian Amazon through a partnership with the AXA Fund for Progress, the approval of phase 2 of the TAPIA project in Madagascar, the launch of the Way Kambas project in Indonesia to restore degraded ecosystems, and the strengthening of local organisations working to protect mangroves in Cameroon.
The year was also marked by an increased presence on the international stage. At the Université de la Terre,UNOC, and COP30, Planète Urgence brought the voice of tropical forests and local communities into discussions on climate, biodiversity, and nature-based solutions.
In 2025, the organization also celebrated its 25th anniversary at an event held in Paris, bringing together partners, volunteers, teams, and long-standing supporters around a shared conviction: protecting forests also means protecting life and human connections.
Finally, at the ChangeNOW 2025 summit, Planète Urgence officially launched Climate Philanthropy, an innovative mechanism enabling companies to fund climate and forest projects through philanthropy, as an alternative to traditional carbon credits.
The 2025 activity report once again demonstrates that solutions exist when they are built with local territories and communities.
In the face of the climate emergency, Planète Urgence continues its mission: to take concrete action to protect tropical forests, support the people who live in them, and collectively build a more resilient future.
