Shaping policy to amplify impact
How can social innovation influence policy? How can innovators, policymakers, legal experts, and advocacy groups work together to create a regulatory environment that fosters impactful change?
"Shaping Policy to Amplify Impact" brings together a diverse group of changemakers (social innovators, policymakers, legal experts, advocacy groups, and civil society organizations) to explore how innovative grassroots solutions can shape better policies for people and the planet.
Through a keynote speech, panel discussions, and interactive roundtables, we will delve into strategies for policy advocacy, legislative influence, and the power of collaboration across sectors. Expect inspiring examples from pioneers who have successfully engaged with policy to scale their impact, as well as practical insights into how you can do the same.
This event is a collaboration between Sociale InnovatieFabriek and ClientEarth, combining expertise in social innovation and legal advocacy to drive meaningful policy change. As a leading environmental law organization, ClientEarth has successfully influenced legislation across Europe by using strategic litigation and advocacy.
