NICOLE Foundation publishes 2025 Impact Report
The 2025 report highlights a year of expanding global reach, technical collaboration, and practical environmental recovery in complex settings.
The NICOLE Foundation has published its 2025 Impact Report, setting out a year of progress in mobilising technical expertise where it matters most.
Across 2025, the Foundation strengthened its role as a practical bridge between international expertise and local environmental recovery. Working with partners, contributors, and local institutions, the Foundation supported environmental assessment, risk reduction, technical guidance, and capacity building in regions affected by conflict, disaster, historical contamination, and fragile infrastructure.
Highlights from the year include:
6 technical projects and programmes delivered.
3 conflict or disaster-affected regions supported during active crises.
3,621 hours of expert contribution, 65% delivered pro bono or at reduced rates.
39 government agencies, NGOs, or local institutions engaged.
The report also explores the growth of the Foundation’s Associate Network, which connects Project-Ready Experts and Strategic Allies with environmental recovery projects worldwide. This network is helping the Foundation respond more effectively where technical capacity, access, or funding may be limited.
In 2025, the Foundation’s work spanned Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, and the Caribbean, including projects connected to Ukraine, Northeast Syria, Cuba, and global technical guidance for environmental data collection in conflict-affected areas.
Together, these activities reflect a growing model for connecting specialist expertise with urgent environmental need – supporting practical, science-based action to protect communities and ecosystems.
This work is made possible by a growing network of partners, Associate and NICOLE Network members, contributors and supporters who share a commitment to practical, science-based environmental recovery.
We thank you for your continued support.
