World Climate Summit New York

Scaling Energy and Nature Solutions for Sustainable Growth For more than fifteen years, the World Climate Summit has brought together leaders from business, finance, government and civil society at critical moments in the global climate and nature agenda, creating a platform to translate ambition into action. Returning to New York for its sixth consecutive year during UN General Assembly 81 and Climate Week NYC, the World Climate Summit: New York 2026 forms part of WCF Impact Week and the Foundation’s global roadmap from capital mobilisation to the scaling of proven solutions, building momentum towards COP17 and COP31. Against a backdrop of shifting geopolitical priorities and a historic triple-COP year, the Summit will focus on the strategic levers required to drive sustainable growth: from mobilising capital and scaling proven solutions to strengthening the policy, market and investment conditions that enable transformation. Across the programme, high-level sessions, roundtables, coalition activations and announcements will bring together decision-makers to shape priorities, forge partnerships and accelerate implementation.
