European Climate Summit (ECS) 2026

INTRODUCTION

ECS 2026: Where Europe’s carbon market ambition meets global momentum

As Europe steps into a decisive phase for its climate and industrial transition, carbon markets are emerging as the backbone of a more connected, competitive, and climate-resilient economy. ECS 2026 will bring together high-level stakeholders to explore how next-generation carbon pricing can drive ambition, unlock innovation, and strengthen cooperation across borders and sectors.

The Summit will examine the transformative policy milestones reshaping the European and global landscape – from the launch of ETS2 and the evolution of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) to the upcoming revision of the EU ETS and the integration of digital tools for transparency and market integrity. Sessions will also look ahead to how European leadership can align with international efforts to scale voluntary and compliance markets, foster industrial decarbonisation, and link systems globally.

Join policymakers, business leaders, and carbon market innovators in Barcelona for three days of strategic dialogue, fresh insight, and unparalleled networking at the heart of Europe’s next chapter in carbon market transformation.
