“Hope is something you need to deserve,” writes Greta Thunberg in The Climate Book. That’s why ECOPOLIS 2023 takes on the challenge of igniting hopeful activism. How do you turn concern or anxiety about the climate crisis into commitment? How to find a middle ground between naiveté and defeatism?

Returning to Brussels this year on November 18th with the theme ‘Hope is Action’, Ecopolis 2023 aims to contribute to a better world, whilst not ignoring the often harrowing reality and paying extra attention to voices that are usually not heard. Be inspired by writers, artists and other thinkers. Explore remarkable places in the city and attend workshops by enthusiastic doers. Take part in ECOPOLIS 2023 and contribute to positive change.
