Recent policy changes\, guidance from the Dutch Tax Authorities\, and new interpretations of existing requirements are creating both opportunities and obligations for charities and nonprofit organizations. The Hub and Bird & Bird are partnering to share the latest developments with the community of peace and justice. \nSince the introduction of the new ANBI Decree of 3 July 2025\, several ANBI requirements have been further clarified and\, in some cases\, tightened. For board members and policy-makers\, understanding what these developments mean in practice is essential to maintaining compliance and good governance. \nIn this interactive 60-minute session\, we will translate the latest developments into practical guidance and discuss how organizations can apply the rules confidently in their day-to-day operations. \nWhat we’ll cover\nSupporting Other Organizations as an ANBI\nThe Anti-Hoarding Requirement and Asset Management\nGovernance and Board Remuneration \nWho Should Attend?\nBoard members of foundations and associations\nDirectors and policy-makers of nonprofit organizations\nRepresentatives of foreign NGOs operating in the Netherlands\nOrganizations holding ANBI status or considering an ANBI application \nWhy Attend?\nGain practical insights into the latest ANBI developments\, understand how recent guidance affects your organization\, and leave with concrete steps to strengthen compliance\, governance\, and decision-making. \nMeet your instructors:\nBarbara den Exter\, Tax Advisor\, Bird & Bird\nArnoud Knijnenburg\, Partner\, Tax\, Bird & Bird \n Register This link opens in a new tab URL:https://www.humanityhub.org/calendar/new-anbi-developments-in-practice/ LOCATION:The Hague Humanity Hub\, Fluwelen Burgwal 58\, Den Haag\, ZH\, Netherlands ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.humanityhub.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Website-1200x800-EN-new-11.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="The Hague Humanity Hub":MAILTO:hello@humanityhub.net END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20261027T170000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20261027T190000 DTSTAMP:20261006T132616Z CREATED:20261006T124536Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261006T132616Z UID:10001681-1793120400-1793127600@www.humanityhub.org SUMMARY:#DemocracyDrinks: Political Developments in the Western Balkans DESCRIPTION:Serbia’s elections and mass protests in Albania are raising new questions about the political direction of the Western Balkans. In Serbia\, elections could reshape the country’s political landscape\, while in Albania\, growing public mobilization is putting pressure on the government and raising questions about its political future. \nThis edition of #DemocracyDrinks looks at whether these developments could lead to a broader political shake-up in the region\, and what they could mean for democracy\, political stability\, and the EU integration of both countries. \nTogether with PRO International\, NSDE\, NHC\, PAX and the Albanians in the NL Foundation\, we will discuss these developments and what they tell us about the future of the Western Balkans. Speakers will be announced soon. Bring your questions! \nWhat are the #DemocracyDrinks? \n#DemocracyDrinks is an informal\, recurring conversation and networking series bringing together people working on democracy\, peace\, justice\, and democratic participation. \nThe format is intentionally simple: open\, dialogue-led conversations in a relaxed setting. #DemocracyDrinks The Hague provides space to connect across sectors\, test ideas\, explore emerging questions\, and reflect collectively on democratic challenges beyond formal panels or presentations. \nLaunched by Defend Democracy in Brussels in 2018\, #DemocracyDrinks now takes place in cities around the world. Editions in The Hague have brought together a diverse mix of practitioners from NGOs\, international institutions\, think tanks\, government\, and civil society. The Hague series is co-organised by the Netherlands Helsinki Committee (NHC)\, the Netherlands Institute for Multiparty Democracy (NIMD)\, and The Hague Humanity Hub (THHH). \nInterested in hosting your own edition?

On three Wednesday evenings we bring together academics and practitioners\, and delve into the world of critical raw materials. \nHow did resource extraction build empires\, and how much has really changed since? \nIn this opening session of our three-part series on critical raw materials\, Prof. dr. Catía Antunes (Leiden University) traces the long history of how empires sustained themselves through the extraction of resources\, drawing on striking examples across the centuries. She  connects that past to the present\, showing how little the underlying logic of extraction has shifted\, and how similar patterns are still visible now that the world races for the critical minerals that power the energy transition. \nFollowing the keynote\, Antunes is joined by Marius Troost (Both ENDS) for a panel discussion on the injustices bound up in the extraction of critical raw materials today: who bears responsibility for them\, and how NGOs and other actors can best aim their efforts to have the greatest impact. The panel will be moderated by Brian Jacobs. \nAfterwards there is time for drinks and a networking reception. \n🗓 Wednesday 28 October\n🕠17:30 – 19:00\n📍The Humanity Hub\, Fluwelen Burgwal 58\, Den Haag \nAttendence is free\, please sign-up in advance. \n Register This link opens in a new tab URL:https://www.humanityhub.org/calendar/extraction-and-empires-a-history-that-hasnt-ended/ LOCATION:The Hague Humanity Hub\, Fluwelen Burgwal 58\, Den Haag\, ZH\, Netherlands CATEGORIES:Climate,Climate Justice ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.humanityhub.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Website-1200x800-EN-new-6.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20261029T090000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20261029T170000 DTSTAMP:20261019T094930Z CREATED:20261019T094930Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261019T094930Z UID:10001706-1793264400-1793293200@www.humanityhub.org SUMMARY:Conferentie: de toekomst van ontwikkelingssamenwerking - Den Haag DESCRIPTION:Hoe ziet échte anti-koloniale en feministische internationale samenwerking eruit?

When should those responsible be held personally accountable—and could serious harm to the environment be treated as an international crime? \nFrom pollution and extractive industries to the destruction of ecosystems during armed conflict\, environmental harm can have devastating and long-lasting consequences for communities\, livelihoods and future generations. Yet international criminal law remains one of the least-used tools for addressing these harms. \nThis event\, organised by The Promise Institute for Human Rights\, Art Works Projects and The Hague Humanity Hub\, brings together photographers\, lawyers\, advocates and climate justice actors to explore how this may be changing. \nThe evening begins with the work of Oyewole Lawal and Edwin Ndeke\, Emerging Lens Fellows whose photography documents environmental degradation and its consequences for the people and communities living with it. Their work provides a human and visual starting point for a wider conversation about environmental destruction\, responsibility and justice. \nFrom there\, we turn to the law. International criminal law already provides some possibilities for addressing serious environmental harm through existing crimes\, including war crimes and crimes against humanity. At the same time\, a growing international movement is working to establish ecocide as a new international crime\, creating a clearer legal route for addressing severe and widespread or long-term environmental destruction. \nRecent developments are bringing these questions closer to legal practice. In December 2025\, the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court published its Policy on Addressing Environmental Damage Through the Rome Statute\, setting out how environmental damage can be considered within the ICC’s existing mandate. The Promise Institute for Human Rights at UCLA and Climate Counsel have also developed a Manual on Prosecuting International Environmental Crimes\, drawing in part on experience investigating the environmental consequences of the war in Ukraine. \nTogether\, these developments raise an important question: what would it take to move from recognising environmental destruction as an injustice to investigating and prosecuting it as a crime? \nSpeakers \nPhotographers in Conversation: \nOyewole Lawal — Photojournalist\, sociologist and Emerging Lens Fellow\, whose work explores the relationship between people\, communities and their environment. \nEdwin Ndeke — Photojournalist\, documentary photographer and Emerging Lens Fellow documenting social\, economic and environmental issues. \nSteve Bynum – Human Rights Advocate\, Journalist\, Producer\, Worldview Podcast\, and Executive Director\, Art Works Projects \nCommentators: [alphabetical]\nKate Mackintosh — Executive Director of The Promise Institute for Human Rights Europe\, co-author of the Manual on Prosecuting International Environmental Crimes and member of the Independent Expert Panel for the Legal Definition of Ecocide. \nNicole Ann Ponce — International Climate Justice Lawyer\,  Global Advocacy Lead at World’s Youth for Climate Justice (WYCJ) \nPatricia Willocq — Diplomatic director for Africa and Francophone countries at Stop Ecocide International\, Founder of Stop Ecocide Belgium\, Humanitarian Photographer\,  Visual Storyteller\,  Creative Strategist \nReinhold Gallmetzer — Appeals Counsel and Environmental Crimes Focal Point at the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court\, speaking about the ICC Prosecutor’s Policy on Addressing Environmental Damage Through the Rome Statute and the possibilities and limits of the ICC’s current mandate. \nHelena Szczupak (closing keynote speaker) — Legal Counsel at EcoJustice.earth\, Research Fellow at the Center for Human Rights Advocacy \nModerated by: \nLeslie Thomas\, Filmmaker and Human Rights Advocate\, Director of Programming\, Art Works Projects and MIRA \nOur speakers will explore what international criminal law can already do\, where its limitations lie\, and what recognising ecocide as an international crime could add. \nWe will look at questions including: \nWhen can serious environmental harm already amount to an international crime?\nWhat does criminal law offer that environmental and climate litigation does not—and where do other legal strategies remain essential?\nHow can environmental destruction be documented and evidenced in ways that can support future investigations and prosecutions?\nHow does applying existing international criminal law relate to the campaign to criminalise ecocide?\nWhat roles can lawyers\, investigators\, journalists\, photographers\, civil society organisations and climate advocates play in bringing the first cases forward?\nThe discussion will connect legal developments in The Hague with experiences and environmental harms occurring around the world\, including the particular relevance of the ecocide debate for African countries facing the consequences of extraction\, pollution and environmental degradation. \nProgramme \n17:00–17:30Doors open\, registration and welcome \n17:30–17:40Opening and introduction \n17:40–18:00Visual introduction: Emerging Lens photographers introduce selected work and the environmental harms documented \n18:00–18:45Panel conversation: Environmental Harm as an International Crime – existing legal tools\, environmental crimes and ecocide \n18:45–19:00Audience Q&A and discussion \n19:00–19:10Closing reflections and introduction to the exhibition opening on 3 November \n19:10–20:00Networking drinks and exhibition viewing \nFrom visual evidence to environmental justice\nPart of The Hague Climate Week\nThis event is part of The Hague Climate Week 2026 and also forms the opening conversation of a two-day programme exploring environmental destruction through law\, photography and visual advocacy. \nOn 3 November\, the work of Emerging Lens Fellows Oyewole Lawal and Edwin Ndeke will be presented in a public exhibition and participatory programme at The Grey Space in the Middle\, looking more closely at waste\, consumption\, labour\, environmental degradation and the communities dealing with their consequences. \nTogether\, the two events ask how images\, lived experience\, advocacy and law can reinforce one another in making environmental harm visible—and turning recognition into accountability and action. \nAbout the organisers \nThe Hague Humanity Hub is a not for profit foundation based in The Hague\, the international city of peace and justice and home to hundreds of organisations working towards a better word. We offer an open and inclusive platform for changemakers to connect both locally and internationally\, building bridges across themes\, sectors\, and disciplines. \nArt Works Projects (AWP) is a Chicago- and The Hague-based nonprofit that uses visual storytelling\, new media and public engagement to confront human rights abuses and social injustice.

Bringing together projects from Lagos and Nairobi\, their collaborative storytelling shines a light on waste pickers: an often-overlooked workforce that plays an essential role in collecting\, recovering\, and recycling materials from growing urban waste streams. \nTheir photography provides the starting point for a wider conversation about our relationship with waste. Moving from the experiences captured in their images\, the programme explores the systems that produce waste and the environmental and social consequences that follow\, with a particular focus on textiles and fashion. \nTogether with researchers\, recycling practitioners and artists\, we will look at both the challenges — from textile waste and chemicals to patterns of production and consumption — and the alternatives. Through conversation\, demonstrations\, and hands-on activities\, visitors can explore recycling and circular approaches\, natural dyes\, sustainable creative practices\, and different ways of thinking about the materials we produce\, use\, and discard. \nThe evening invites us to look beyond waste itself and consider the people\, choices and systems behind it — and what we might do differently. \nBuilding on the legal and accountability conversation of 2 November\, this event shifts attention towards the people\, places and lived experiences behind environmental harm. Photography becomes an entry point for discussing climate justice in a way that is accessible beyond professional climate and legal communities. \nThe programme has three layers: \nArtist conversation: Behind the images\n– Oyewole and Edwin: Introduction to the photographers\, their work and the communities and environmental challenges documented.\nModerated conversation: From Waste to Systems\n– Connecting visual storytelling with climate justice\, environmental accountability and ethical representation.\nParticipatory element\n– Hands-on activities allow visitors to respond to the work\, contribute their perspectives or explore how visual storytelling can be used for climate engagement and advocacy. \nProgramme: \n16:00 – 16:30 Doors open\, registration and welcome \n16:30 – 17:00 Opening and introduction to artists \n17:00 – 17:30 Conversation/panel \n17:30 – 18:15 Participatory element \n18:15 – 19:00 Networking with drinks and exhibition viewing \nAbout the organisers \nThe Hague Humanity Hub is a not for profit foundation based in The Hague\, the international city of peace and justice and home to hundreds of organisations working towards a better word. We offer an open and inclusive platform for changemakers to connect both locally and internationally\, building bridges across themes\, sectors\, and disciplines. \n Register This link opens in a new tab URL:https://www.humanityhub.org/calendar/beyond-waste-people-materials-and-what-we-leave-behind/ LOCATION:Grey Space in the Middle\, Paviljoensgracht 20-24\, The Hague\, Zuid-Holland\, 2512 BP CATEGORIES:Climate,Climate Justice ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.humanityhub.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Website-1200x800-EN-new-15.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="The Hague Humanity Hub":MAILTO:hello@humanityhub.net END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20261105T150000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20261105T170000 DTSTAMP:20260918T083210Z CREATED:20260918T083210Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260918T083210Z UID:10001663-1793890800-1793898000@www.humanityhub.org SUMMARY:Launch: De Partos AI Toolkit DESCRIPTION:Als onderdeel van de Digital Readiness track heeft Partos samen met lidorganisaties de afgelopen maanden AI-werkgroepsessies gefaciliteerd om ontwikkelingen\, vraagstukken en uitdagingen rondom kunstmatige intelligentie te verkennen.

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. \nWhat can you expect? \nJoin 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. \nResilience 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. \nWe will explore questions such as: \nWhat do we actually mean when we talk about climate resilience\, and whose definition counts?\nIs resilience about recovering from shocks\, or about changing the conditions that create vulnerability in the first place?\nAnd finally\, how can organisations make sure local knowledge and lived experience genuinely shape what resilience looks like in practice?\nThrough 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. \nWho are the speakers? \nThe 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. \nRather 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. \nWho is it for? \nIf 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. \nDate: Thursday\, the 5th of November\nTime: 17:00–19:00\nLocation: EnergieKas\, Helena van Doeverenplantsoen 3\, 2512 ZB Den Haag \nCome meet fellow professionals\, exchange perspectives\, and explore how technology and humanity can evolve together. \nWe look forward to welcoming you. \nPrivacy Policy \nThe Humanity Hub collects your name\, email\, and organization (if you have one) when you sign up for events\, so they can manage the event and tell you about future ones.

Fiscal decentralisation gives local governments greater authority to decide how and where to allocate resources\, enabling them to better respond to citizens’ needs. \nFor decentralisation to succeed\, national governments must establish clear fiscal arrangements to support local service delivery\, while local authorities must strengthen their financial capacities and optimise resource use. \nThis course explores key aspects of fiscal decentralisation\, including expenditure responsibilities\, intergovernmental transfers\, and local revenue sources. Embedded in the broader context of decentralisation\, the training also highlights the importance of political decentralisation. \nThe programme combines theoretical insights with global best practices\, facilitating group discussions and learning from study visits to the Ministry of Interior\, Provincial Government\, and The Hague municipality. Tailored to participants’ needs\, sessions cover topics such as corruption\, participatory budgeting\, local taxation\, and financial accountability principles. \nKey Information\nThis course is designed for professionals working on (fiscal) decentralisation processes\, public sector reform programmes\, public service delivery or public financial management. Participants come from national\, regional and local governments as well as from donor and development organisations. \nParticularly relevant for professionals working in ministries of finance\, municipal budgeting and revenue units\, audit offices\, public financial management departments\, development banks\, and fiscal policy advisory bodies. \n Apply now URL:https://www.humanityhub.org/calendar/fiscal-decentralisation-and-local-finance-course/ LOCATION:ZH ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.humanityhub.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/THA-logo-kleur.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20261106T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20261106T220000 DTSTAMP:20261022T134408Z CREATED:20261009T112052Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261022T134408Z UID:10001693-1793991600-1794002400@www.humanityhub.org SUMMARY:Just Peace Movie Night - Climate Justice Week: The Here Now Project DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special edition of Just Peace Movie Night\, taking place as part of The Hague Climate Week\, from 2–8 November 2026. As part of this city-wide programme around climate and sustainability\, we invite you to an evening of film\, reflection and conversation on climate change\, climate justice and meaningful local action. \nExperience climate change through the eyes and cameras of the people living through it. The Here Now Project brings together extraordinary first-hand footage of climate extremes from communities around the world. Without narration or traditional interviews\, the film puts lived experience at the centre and confronts audiences with the immediate and interconnected reality of climate change. \nAbout the film – The Here Now Project \nThe Here Now Project tells the story of a year of climate extremes through footage captured by ordinary people experiencing these events themselves. Rather than relying on journalists\, experts or filmmakers to interpret what is happening\, the film places the cameras in the hands of the people living through these events. \nWithout traditional narration or interviews\, the film creates an immediate and personal perspective on climate change\, bringing together experiences from communities around the world. The footage reveals how climate extremes affect people’s everyday lives\, while highlighting the interconnected nature of a global crisis. \nFollowing the screening\, a moderated conversation will explore how we document and tell stories about climate impacts\, whose perspectives are centred\, and the ethical responsibilities involved in using personal footage of people experiencing disaster and loss. \nThe conversation will then turn towards action: how can the urgency and emotions generated by stories like these become meaningful engagement rather than helplessness? Local changemakers and initiatives from The Hague will share concrete examples of what climate action can look like at community level\, connecting the global experiences shown in the film to people and initiatives taking action here. \nConversation themes \nLived experience and storytelling – What changes when climate events are documented by the people experiencing them rather than interpreted by journalists\, experts or filmmakers?\nEthics of documentation – Who owns these images and stories? How should highly personal footage be contextualised\, and what responsibilities arise when people are injured\, displaced or die? How can we avoid turning suffering into spectacle?\nFrom urgency to agency – Stories of climate impacts can leave us feeling overwhelmed\, but they can also inspire action. What meaningful action is possible locally\, and what examples from The Hague show that communities can make a difference? \n  \nProgramme \n18:30 – 19:00 – Doors open / arrival \n19:00 – 19:10 – Welcome and introduction \n19:10 – 20:30 – Screening: The Here Now Project \n20:30 – 21:00 – Post-screening conversation: lived experience\, storytelling and climate justice \n21:00 – 21:15 – Audience Q&A\, closing reflections and possible call to action \n21:15 – 22:00 – Networking drinks \nTickets: –\nLocation: De Energiekas – Helena van Doeverenplantsoen 3\nDate & Time: 06 November 2026 | 18:30 – 22:00 \nAbout Just Peace Movie Nights \nJust Peace Movie Nights is an event series organised by The Hague Humanity Hub in collaboration with partner organisations from The Hague’s peace and justice ecosystem.

But what are the consequences of militarization for the environment and the climate crisis itself? \n“Earth’s Greatest Enemy” (2025) addresses a blind spot in mainstream environmental awareness by highlighting the scale of ecological destruction and human suffering caused by militarism. With its devastating account of the U.S. military’s contribution to climate collapse\, ecocide\, and the poisoning of the planet\, this thought-provoking film urges us to view militarized ecologies as a structural feature of the American empire and capitalist exploitation. At a time of increasing militarization in Europe and around the world\, the film also exposes the lack of accountability for crimes of ecocide. \nDirector Abby Martin is a journalist and activist from the United States. She is co-director of the documentary “99%: The Occupy Wall Street Collaborative Film” (2013) and director of the documentary “Gaza Fights for Freedom” (2019). \nExtended trailer here.

Regional perspectives DESCRIPTION:This event is part 2 of a 3-part Studium Generale program series organised between Leiden University and the Humanity Hub. On three Wednesday evenings we bring together academics and practitioners\, and delve into the world of critical raw materials. \nWhat are the global effects of the extraction of critical raw materials on regions world wide? \nIn this second session in the series on critical raw materials\, we look at how the run on critical raw materials affects regional and local communities. Together with Jeleel Balyaminu\, MSc and Dr. Soledad Valdivia Rivera we draw parallels between Latin-America and Africa. We explore what the global demand for critical raw materials means for communities and how it creates new geopolitical power structures. What is the role China plays? And how do we look at possible human right violations involved. \nJeleel Balyaminu is currently doing a PhD at the African Studies Centre Leiden. His research is on Natural Resource Governance and Socio-Cultural Conditions in Africa: From Policy to Practice. \nSoledad Valivia Rivera is Assistant Professor at the Institute for History at the Department of Latin America Studies.

Sustain your Impact. Part I DESCRIPTION:Part 1 – Sustaining yourself. How do we stay engaged in work that matters without continuously drawing from our own reserves?\nWorking for positive change can be deeply meaningful. It can also be demanding. Complex problems\, slow progress\, competing priorities and the gap between what we care about and what we can actually influence can take their toll over time. \nIn this interactive two-hour workshop\, we start with ourselves: What sustains our energy – and what quietly drains it? \nThrough short inputs\, reflection\, practical exercises and exchange with others\, we’ll explore how our energy is shaped not only by workload\, but also by uncertainty\, emotional demands\, values\, boundaries and our sense of agency. \nWhat you’ll take away \nYou’ll leave with: \n\na clearer picture of what sustains and drains your energy;\ngreater awareness of your own patterns\, boundaries and sources of resilience;\npractical ways to work with your energy more intentionally;\none or two practices or experiments to take into your everyday life and work.\n\nWho is this for? \nFor people working towards positive change – including peace and justice\, climate and sustainability\, humanitarian action\, international cooperation and social impact. \nYou don’t need to be exhausted or close to burnout to join. This workshop is as much about prevention and awareness as responding to existing strain. \nPart of a two-workshop series \nThis is Part 1 of Sustain your Energy. Sustain your Impact. Each workshop can be attended independently\, but we recommend joining both for the full journey. \nPart 2 – Sustaining ourselves within systems widens the lens from our individual experience to the teams\, organisations and wider systems we work within. \nOffered in collaboration with The Hague Humanity Hub and Stroomversnellers\, with support from Stichting DOEN. \n  \nPrivacy Policy\nThe Humanity Hub collects your name\, email\, and organization (if you have one) when you sign up for events\, so they can manage the event and tell you about future ones.

This two-day course gives you a practical\, up-to-date understanding of that landscape – from international foundations to European regulation – so you can navigate it with confidence. \nIn recent years\, courts at every level – from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) to national judiciaries – have fundamentally reshaped the legal obligations of governments and businesses on climate change. Civil society is also leveraging the law in many creative ways to hold public and private actors accountable. \nClimate litigation cases are growing both in number and success rate. Therefore\, understanding the content and application of international and regional climate law is becoming essential across sectors and roles. \nIn collaboration with SEVEN — the University of Amsterdam’s interdisciplinary climate institute\, we offer a short course providing a broad understanding of key areas in international and European climate law. \nDuring this course\, you will benefit from: \n\nAn informed understanding of international and European climate law\, including the latest developments of climate treaties and agreements.\nOverview of recent\, key climate litigation cases against states and corporations and their relevance for national and international climate policy.\nPractical and academic insights on the role of human rights in the pursuit of action on climate change.\nForward-looking reflection and interactive discussion on international and European climate law.\nOpportunities to engage with one another and the speakers through group work and case studies relevant to your own work.\n\nWho can attend?\nWe designed this programme for people who need practical answers\, not just abstract theory. The training applies to you whether you have a legal background or not. You will benefit from this course if you are: \n\nCivil servants and local policymakers: Learn how to audit your municipal decisions so you can protect your community and comply with human rights requirements.\nCorporate counsel and business staff: Understand what the new European regulations mean for supply chains and corporate policies\, so you know where to start before the deadlines hit.\nNGOs and strategic litigators: Connect with other advocates and refine your legal strategies based on the latest court victories and setbacks.\nAcademics and diplomats: Deepen your understanding of how international climate law evolves in real-time.\n\n  \nThe programme\nDay one focuses on the international stage\, covering the UN climate regime\, the ICJ Advisory Opinion on climate change\, climate obligations under international human rights law\, and strategic climate litigation. \nDay two zooms in on climate law in Europe\, looking at the European Climate Law and relevant regulations\, the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and the Klimaseniorinnen case\, the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and climate obligations for corporations\, and the Energy Charter Treaty. \nInterested?\nRegistration for this course is now open.
