Short description:The Generation Forest is a Hamburg-based cooperative that enables global members to invest in sustainable reforestation projects in Panama, combining climate, biodiversity, and social impacts with sustainable financial returns.

The Generation Forest is a cooperative founded in 2016 that enables individuals and businesses to invest in sustainable reforestation projects in Panama. These forests are managed by Generation Forest Invest and are all in line with the Generation Forest concept. With over 8,000 members already, The cooperative envisions a global community where we take the step together towards a more sustainable future and give reforestation the scale it needs.

Membership in The Generation Forest is open to individuals worldwide. By purchasing cooperative shares, members co-own the reforested land and benefit from the environmental impact and financial returns. Each share represents 500 m2 of forest land and contributes to the sequestration of approximately 1 tonnes of CO₂ annually.

This innovative model not only supports climate and biodiversity action but also offers a low-entry investment opportunity, aligned with long-term ecological and social impacts.
