CEDA’s Climate and Energy Summit 2026 will tackle the defining economic transformation of our time: the shift to a competitive net zero economy - while strengthening climate resilience and delivering sustainable outcomes.
Leaders from across business, government and the energy system will focus on what it will take to deliver rapid emissions reduction to 2035 and beyond. This includes accelerating the renewables build-out, strengthening system reliability, mobilising investment, and realising economic value and opportunity.
The Summit will examine the major levers of change in reshaping the integrated energy landscape, decarbonising industry at scale, delivering sustainable outcomes and real outcomes for the community. We’ll discuss powering the digital economy responsibly, managing Climate risks, opportunities, and accelerating climate action. Attendees will leave with sharper strategies, stronger networks, and clearer pathways to action.
Join 50+ speakers and 350 energy, environment and climate leaders from industry, government and regulators to tackle the key challenges, and seize the opportunities for a lower-carbon future.
