The European Commission and the European External Action Service launched the 2026 #ForOurPlanet campaign on 22 April, with this year’s focus placed on biodiversity and nature restoration.
The campaign is public-facing, but its subject is practical. Europe’s nature restoration work is moving into a period where countries need to turn legal targets into plans, projects and visible changes in landscapes. Public attention can help keep that process from staying inside technical documents.
Nature restoration covers many different actions: bringing wetlands back, improving rivers, restoring forests, protecting pollinators, repairing coastal habitats and giving degraded land a chance to recover ecological function.
The campaign’s value is that it gives ordinary people, schools, organisations and local authorities a shared theme. Not every person can write a national restoration plan, but many can take part in local planting, monitoring, volunteering or public support for better nature management.
Europe’s biodiversity problems are serious, but the campaign’s message is active rather than decorative. It asks people to look at restoration as something that can be done, not only mourned.
