Green IPA – Plant a Tree
The Socio-Cultural Commission (S.C.C.) Green IPA Project Team proudly invites all Sections worldwide to participate in the global environmental campaign:
“PLANT A TREE – GREEN IPA”
In celebration of Earth Day – Wednesday, 22 April 2026, and following two years of impactful environmental initiatives carried out across the globe, this worldwide campaign aims to unite IPA members, their families, and local communities in a shared commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainable action.
Event Period
22 April 2026 – 17 May 2026
Tree planting activities will take place across all IPA Sections during this period.
Important Notice:
Due to seasonal and weather variations, Sections may organise their planting initiatives at alternative suitable times throughout the year, including in conjunction with other local celebrations or related environmental events.
The Mission

Every IPA member plants at least one tree in their region.
Sections are encouraged to:

There is no limit to the number of seedlings planted — the more, the better.
Each Section may set its own participation targets.
