1% for the Glaciers
Together, let’s imagine solutions and collaborations in support of the mountains.
A collective fundraising initiative for the glaciers.
Launched by 1% for the Planet France, 1% for the Glaciers supports six carefully selected non profit organisations, all dedicated to preserving glaciers and post-glacial ecosystems. Endorsed by glaciologist Heidi Sevestre, this initiative aims to protect these unique and fragile environments.
A single donation supports six tangible projects and that’s not all: 1% for the Planet France will match every donation up to €20,000!
With the United Nations declaring 2025 the International Year of Glacier Preservation, your support has never been more vital. We’re counting on you!
2025: A critical year for glaciers
The United Nations has declared 2025 the International Year of Glacier Preservation, and for good reason: every second, the glaciers on our planet lose the equivalent of three Olympic-sized swimming pools. In France, the melting is even more alarming than elsewhere: the glaciers of the Pyrenees and the Alps have lost 40% of their volume in just 25 years.
Glaciers and post-glacial ecosystems play a crucial role in climate change mitigation and adaptation, helping to limit sea-level rise, ensure access to freshwater in many regions, and prevent the collapse of biodiversity. Their preservation is therefore essential for the future of our planet and life on Earth.

6 projects
Following a call for projects launched in February, 1% for the Planet France has selected six French non profit organisations dedicated to the preservation of France’s glaciers:
- France Nature Environnement, Haute-Savoie
- L’École des Pôles
- Marges Sauvages
- Mountain Riders
- Mountain Wilderness France
- Protect Our Winters
Donations are doubled!
By matching every donation, 1% for the Planet France allows you to significantly multiply your impact.
For example, a €10 donation becomes €20 contributed to the six selected projects.
Your support makes all the difference. We’re counting on you!

Goal: €100,000!
Glaciers and their ecosystems are vital for limiting climate change, preserving freshwater, and protecting biodiversity. Their protection is crucial for the future of our planet.
Together, we can make a difference by aiming to raise €100,000 through this collective fundraising campaign.
Everyone can contribute to this goal, the general public, members, philanthropists… every donation counts.
“Non profit organisations and scientists are coming together to study the new environments revealed by melting glaciers, to advocate for the protection of these sensitive areas across Europe, and to educate high school students on climate issues through the tangible example of glaciers. It is time for us to mobilise collectively to protect these ecosystems, which are now in grave danger.”
