On April 1, 2026, ChangeNOW opens its doors to the general public! If you're eager to learn more about ecological and social transition, this international summit is THE annual event to inspire and motivate action.
Join us at the Grand Palais in Paris for the world’s largest event focused on solutions for our planet. Don’t miss this unique chance to be part of the change by attending panel discussions led by visionary leaders, and get hands-on experience through a range of workshops: interactive sessions, murals, immersive experiences…
But who are these visionary leaders? ChangeNOW is thrilled to welcome experts such as Julia Faure, an advocate for ethical fashion and co-founder of Loom, as well as co-leader of Impact France — alongside Laurence Tubiana, Chair of the Citizens' Convention for Climate Transition, and Cyrill Gutsch, founder and CEO of Parley for The Oceans.
But ChangeNOW will also host inspiring figures such as Thomas Jolly, an actor, playwright, director, and notably the artistic director of the opening and closing ceremonies for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games – Kim Stanley Robinson, author of The Ministry for the Future – Michel Cymes, a prominent healthcare personality in France – Eva Jospin, an artist and master of cardboard craftsmanship – as well as adventurers like Hanli Prinsloo, a South African free diver, and Louane Camano, a low-carbon travel YouTuber better known as Louannemanshow on social media.
Over 500 pioneers to explore and get inspired by!
Early Bird tickets available until March 12 at €8.40
Free for those registered with France Travail, students, and those under 18
Back in 2009, scientists introduced the planetary boundaries framework to define a safe space for humanity. Today, seven of these nine boundaries have been crossed, underscoring why taking action and finding solutions is more urgent than ever.
Some featured talks include:
All talks in English will be live-translated via an app.
You’ll also have the chance to participate in numerous workshops, such as the climate fresco (plus Biodiversity, Ocean, AI frescoes, and more!), which offer a fun, hands-on way to explore climate challenges.
Coming with family? The Family program will keep kids and adults engaged with a big treasure hunt to discover solutions and artists committed to the planet (with gifts!). There will also be activities raising awareness about ocean protection and fun workshops like the Fake News activity by Science et Vie.
Because commitment also happens daily at work, don’t miss the Impact Job Fair, a recruitment event dedicated to impact-driven careers. To find a meaningful job, meet committed recruiters and attend talks or coaching sessions with LinkedIn.
Note: The Impact Job Fair is free for those registered with France Travail, students, and minors under 18.
Don’t miss the immersive demonstrations of solutions under the nave of the Grand Palais — a unique opportunity to learn firsthand from the pioneers making it happen!
