Founded in 2005 by Yann Arthus-Bertrand and recognized as a public-interest organization, the GoodPlanet Foundation invites everyone to marvel at the Living World in order to better protect it. Through experiences and concrete actions, it inspires people to take action and supports each and every one on the path toward a caring, joyful, and shared ecology.
At a time of social and environmental emergencies, the GoodPlanet Foundation believes that the ecological transition is an opportunity to build society by collectively imagining a sustainable and desirable world. In the face of this challenge, it raises awareness, inspires, and supports everyone—individuals, organizations, and companies—to encourage action and empower each person to become an agent of change, through educational expertise and the development and support of concrete projects. By highlighting local initiatives, the Foundation shows that another society is not only possible, but already underway.
Its awareness-raising missions take place both within a unique third-place in Paris, the Domaine de Longchamp, and through programs deployed across France. The Foundation supports local partners who implement solutions in their regions in response to environmental, economic, and social crises, in France and internationally, for the development of agroecology, the restoration and preservation of marine and coastal ecosystems, and access to essential goods.
To mobilize societal stakeholders and help transform organizations toward a sustainable and desirable present, the GoodPlanet Foundation, through MyPlanet, provides strategic and operational support to companies and local authorities in their ecological transition, through consulting services, awareness workshops, and training programs certified Qualiopi.
Pascal Cagni is member of the board of the GoodPlanet Foundation.
