CHANGENOW 2025: THE GRAND PALAIS BECOMES THE WORLD EXPO OF SOLUTIONS FOR THE PLANET

Last year, we had the chance to experience ChangeNOW for the first time, and it proved to be the unmissable event for sustainability and impact.

In 2025, ChangeNOW returns with a unique edition as the World Expo of Solutions, taking place from April 24 to 26 at the Grand Palais in Paris. This global gathering comes at a pivotal moment for the ecological transition. A decade after the Paris Agreement, ecological and social ambitions face unprecedented challenges, with the UN reporting record temperature rises and the United States announcing its temporary withdrawal from the Agreement—developments that put collective efforts to limit global warming to 1.5°C at risk.

PARIS AGREEMENT’S 10TH ANNIVERSARY: CHANGENOW 2025 SETS THE STAGE FOR UNOC AND COP30

ChangeNOW 2025 returns to the Grand Palais from April 24 to 26, reaffirming its status as the unmissable event for sustainability and impact. After experiencing it for the first time last year, we can confidently say it is the premier global gathering dedicated to turning commitments into action. This year’s edition arrives at a pivotal moment in the ecological transition, marking a decade since the Paris Agreement and reinforcing the urgency to accelerate solutions.

A WORLD EXPO OF SOLUTIONS RETURNS TO THE GRAND PALAIS

By returning to the Grand Palais, ChangeNOW revives the legacy of the great Universal Exhibitions, placing innovation at the heart of sustainable transformation. With 10,000 companies, 1,200 investors, and 40,000 participants from 140 countries, ChangeNOW is the world’s largest gathering for solutions for the planet, showcasing over 1,000 groundbreaking innovations.

“Ten years after COP21, despite the United States’ recent exit from the Paris Agreement and the rise of anti-environmental rhetoric, ChangeNOW remains a driving force in the ecological and social transition. Thousands of committed changemakers will be present to show that the spirit of Paris is alive and that real change is happening.”
— Santiago Lefebvre, Founder and President of ChangeNOW
