Join the walk to cool down the planet!

By Alain Heunen

What started out as a spontaneous idea of four friends in the Vondelpark, has now grown into a global movement. Since 2020, 24 The Planet has organised a unique charity event for Justdiggit, and the numbers speak for themselves: over 250 participants worldwide – from Amsterdam to New York, Budapest, Munich, London and Prague – have already collectively raised over €250,000 for greening in Africa. Step by step.

The concept? Participants take on the challenge of a lifetime: 24 hours of non-stop walking to draw attention to climate change as well as raise money for Justdiggit. But don’t worry – it won’t be a lonely march! During these 24 hours, we will organise all kinds of cool mini-events such as yoga, silent disco, a DJ, pub quiz, coffee and, of course, plenty of food and drinks.

The great thing about 24 The Planet is that it shows how powerful small actions can be. Every step our participants take contributes to cooling our planet by enabling regreening in Africa.

Will you also participate this year in the Vondelpark in Amsterdam or one of the other participating cities? Register now via www.24theplanet.com. And don’t forget to ask your friends, family or colleagues – because together we make more impact!
