Community Drinks: Imagining Climate Resilience

What if your next game-changing connection is just a drink away?

Join us for a special edition of The Community Drinks in partnership with The Climate Justice Community during The Hague Climate Week to wind down around a glass, make new connections, and get inspired by the panel conversation of the evening. For this edition we are leaving our usual home at The Hague Humanity Hub for a new location at EnergieKas, a rooftop greenhouse that is the perfect setting to get away from your busy schedule and enjoy after-hours with purposeful conversations.

What can you expect?

Join the Community Drinks on “Imagining Climate Resilience” from 17:00 to 19:00 for an evening of conversation, reflection, and connection around a word that is everywhere in climate work yet rarely means the same thing twice: resilience.

Resilience is used by almost everyone, but its meaning shifts depending on who is speaking. Does it mean bouncing back to how things were, or transforming the systems that made people vulnerable in the first place? And crucially: resilience of what, to what, and for whom? The way we answer shapes whose needs get prioritised, who carries the burden of adapting, and who is held responsible.

We will explore questions such as:

What do we actually mean when we talk about climate resilience, and whose definition counts?
Is resilience about recovering from shocks, or about changing the conditions that create vulnerability in the first place?
And finally, how can organisations make sure local knowledge and lived experience genuinely shape what resilience looks like in practice?
Through a panel of spotlight speakers from different corners of the ecosystem and an open discussion, the evening will create space to exchange experiences, challenge assumptions, and think critically about a concept we too often take for granted.

Who are the speakers?

The speakers for this edition will be announced shortly before the event. We are bringing together two complementary perspectives from across the peace and justice ecosystem, exploring the relationship between voice, power, storytelling, representation, and visibility.

Rather than approaching the topic from a single discipline, the conversation will connect experiences from different parts of the ecosystem and invite participants to reflect on how the decisions we make about who we listen to, whose stories we share, and what we choose to highlight are shaped and can shape what the international community ultimately understands and acts upon.

Who is it for?

If you are interested in connecting with people and their work towards a more peaceful, just and sustainable world, this event is for you. Whatever your role or sector, join Community Drinks to relax, exchange perspectives, and connect with this vibrant community committed to making the world more peaceful, just and sustainable, one conversation at a time.

Date: Thursday, the 5th of November
Time: 17:00–19:00
Location: EnergieKas, Helena van Doeverenplantsoen 3, 2512 ZB Den Haag

Come meet fellow professionals, exchange perspectives, and explore how technology and humanity can evolve together.

We look forward to welcoming you.
