One Planet – Stories of Hope | Inspiration for Climate Action

Climate change is the defining issue of our times, and it can be easy to lose hope and become defeatist. Just Peace is joining up with Museon-Omniversum for an inspiring evening of storytelling, to inspire Hope in Times of Adversity. On October 24 (from 16:00) a cast of researchers, activists and changemakers will inspire participants with stories from their own work in tackling climate change.

Aside from inspiring stories, there will also be the chance to visit Museon-Omniversum’s family friendly exhibition ‘One Planet NOW’, which explores real world ways that we can help reduce carbon emissions in our daily lives. We’ll also take the opportunity to celebrate Just Peace Month 2022, and launch the new Just Peace platform for The Hague.
