Terra Nostra Association

Founded in 2025, Terra Nostra is a Swiss association dedicated to initiating and implementing projects in Switzerland that raise public awareness of environmental and climate issues. To this end, it supports regional initiatives that promote nature, highlighting projects rooted in community life across Switzerland. It is politically and ideologically neutral.

During its current launch phase, Terra Nostra is receiving funding from the Geneva-based organisation Our Common Home, which acts as an incubator for new organisations and conducts research aimed at understanding and strengthening the impact of their actions.

The team

Terra Nostra is a new organisation, currently consisting of four people. In line with its approach, it works in a decentralised manner across Swiss cantons and brings together a variety of profiles, reflecting the diversity of the Swiss population.
