The 8th edition of ChangeNOW is now over. Innovators, activists, institutional and corporate leaders, impact-oriented investors, and changemakers from around the world gathered under the glass roof of the Grand Palais to create a fantastic emulation that resonated across Paris and beyond French borders.
ChangeNOW mobilized more people than ever before with:
40 000 participants
1 200 Investors
1 000 solutions
500+ media represented
10 000 companies
600 speakers
At the closing ceremony, Natalie Portman shared her own personal and professional commitments, underlining her admiration for activists of all ages. Activist Satish Kumar then underlined, “You are the leaders so stop waiting on leaders to immerge. YOU are the leaders!” Both agreed that we must reconnect with our childhood self and with the soil we came from, love nature and love each other, and never forget to create beauty around us.
It’s important to remark that ChangeNOW Founder Santiago Lefebvre presented earlier the proposals in the first version of a policy paper, Six Priorities for Global Policy Implementation, to Felipe Paullier, Assistant Secretary-General for Youth Affairs at the UN Youth Office.
Next edition of ChaneNOW will take place on March 30-31st and April 1st 2026.
