2025 marks the 30th anniversary of the UMWELTFESTIVAL. While it was just one of many programme items at the ‘Climate Forum “95” in 1995, the UMWELTFESTIVAL has now established itself as a permanent fixture in the Berlin event landscape – with nationwide appeal. The Climate Forum ‘95, organised as an international NGO forum under the leadership of the umbrella organisation Deutscher Naturschutzring and its member organisation GRÜNE LIGA as a counter-event to the first World Climate Conference (COP 1) in Berlin, is regarded as a model for all subsequent civil society forums at the annual UN climate conferences.
The UMWELTFESTIVAL provides a stage for those who are committed to people, nature, the environment and the climate, who think up creative and forward-looking solutions and offer inspiration and guidance. The aim is to create hope, describe common paths and resolve conflicts.
All associations, initiatives, companies, authorities, manufacturers and restaurateurs are invited to present their projects, services, products and ideas on environmental, nature and climate protection on the UMWELTFESITVAL’s experience mile in an inviting and inspiring way. The registration season starts in mid-January.
