We’re beyond excited to announce that the app is launching in France on Earth Day 2025! This is a major step forward in our mission to make climate action accessible to all. For our half-French co-founders, Jules and Godefroy, this launch holds a special place in their hearts, and they can’t wait to bring Treeapp home!

Expanding our Impact

Since we launched in 2020, we’ve planted 5,000,000+ trees across more than 20 countries, working to restore forests, enhance biodiversity, and support local communities. Expanding into France means more than just launching in a new country – it’s about growing our user base and amplifying our impact. 

By making Treeapp available to users in France, we’re empowering more people to take action against climate change with a simple daily habit: planting trees. This is a significant step in making reforestation a global movement!

Why France?

France is a natural choice for our global expansion. Not just because our founders might have a biiiit of a soft spot for the country… but also because, as one of the world’s leaders in sustainability, France has demonstrated strong commitments to environmental protection, making it the perfect place for Treeapp to take root. Here’s why:

- France has been ranked among the top countries in sustainability efforts. The 2022 Environmental Performance Index (EPI) placed France in the top 10 globally, recognising its strong environmental policies and commitment to climate action (Yale University, 2022 ).

- France has made reforestation a priority, pledging to plant 1 billion trees by 2030 as part of its environmental strategy, highlighting the country’s strong commitment to restoring and protecting its forests. While Treeapp will not be directly contributing to this pledge, our launch in France and the establishment of local planting sites will provide individuals with an accessible way to take part in local and global reforestation efforts.

- The French government has also made carbon neutrality a major priority, setting an ambitious goal of reaching this by 2050 (French Policies to Tackle Climate ). With Treeapp’s launch in France, users can reduce their own carbon footprint and track the amount of carbon they’re absorbing with each tree supported.
