All ways to take part

Bring your community into People & Planet Week

9 to 15 November 2026
Civil society organisations and NGOs
Civil society organisations and NGOs connect the Week with communities, grassroots initiatives and the realities behind social and environmental challenges. Your regular programme, campaign, volunteer day or community meeting can become part of the Week without being rebuilt. Invite the government to take part as a listener, partner and responder.
