With new users joining across Europe with this campaign, we will be able to plant millions more trees and expand our critical work of regenerating forests around the world." Our audience is uniquely young and active and growing rapidly, with 3.9 million users already in France alone, but we need our movement to grow even faster to keep pace with the climate emergency. Their support on this campaign means we can reach millions of new Ecosia users. Both partners are committed to Net Zero, and have their own ambitious targets to tackle the climate crisis.

The user-generated campaign speaks directly to users in each city, by displaying searches they have shared via social media.
