OHOP is an action-orientated event, that brings together purpose-driven, ideas-led doers, thinkers, and influencers from across different fields. Together, we break down barriers to solving key social and environmental challenges facing the world – challenges that now, more than ever, need urgent attention. Our goal is to inspire action and spark change in the areas of climate crisis, inequality, and resource scarcity, so that we collectively build back better and create the future we all want to be part of.

OHOP Dialogue 2023
This year ONE HOME,ONE PLANET Dialogue takes place during the Action Speaks Summit – the most hopeful place at Climate Week NYC. The summit features an exhibition of climate solutions and inspiring actions already being taken around the world, combined with a series of hosted dialogues on key enablers to accelerate climate action.
We know that every degree matters, but how do we move from discussions about the long-term to real action in the here and now? What could we achieve if we chose optimism, openness and collaborative action upon existing climate solutions?
