Formerly called
Billion Tree Campaign

The Trillion Tree Campaign is a project which aims to plant one trillion trees worldwide.[1] It seeks to repopulate the world's trees and combat climate change as a nature-based solution. The project was launched at PlantAhead 2018 in Monaco by Plant-for-the-Planet.[2][3][4][5] In the fall of 2018, the project's official website was published in order to register, monitor, and donate trees to reforestation projects around the world.[5][6] The campaign is a continuation of the activities of the earlier Billion Tree Campaign, instigated by Wangari Maathai, who founded the Green Belt Movement in Africa in 1977.

As of 30 May 2021, 164 restoration projects participate in the campaign and 13.96 billion (1.396% of the goal) trees have been planted worldwide.[7]
