Launching The Pavilion for People

At COP28, Pavilions are places for a small percentage of the world’s population to gather and share ideas, solutions and commitments. Positive Impact created this initiative which exists so that everyone’s voices and actions are recognised in the progress towards reaching the Paris Agreement.

In 2023 we created a proposal to invite organisations to be one of our innovation partners. We spoke to many of the people responsible for Pavilions at COP this year and they loved the idea. They also just wanted to keep doing what they have always done.

Undeterred by a lack of funding and limited buy-in, Positive Impact created The Pavilion for People to show new possibilities for what it looks like to have real engagement from people all around the world, for events like COP and beyond.

This first year is an experiment, so we are focusing on The Pavilion for People being useful for anyone who uses events to communicate their message or engage with their communities. But then again, that is probably most of us. And definitely everyone participating with COP28!

If you would like to be kept up to date when the Pavilion re-opens and learn how to take part, you can register for updates.
