North America Climate Summit (NACS) 2026

About NACS 2026


The New Carbon Order: Innovation, Investment, and Interoperability

The North America Climate Summit (NACS) is the final conference of IETA’s regional Climate Summit series for 2026, and is an important stepping stone on the road to COP31 in November. Taking place alongside Climate Week NYC and UNGA 2026, the Summit will serve as a key platform for connecting regional leadership with global carbon market momentum.

Held at a pivotal moment for carbon pricing, carbon removals, clean investment, and industrial decarbonization, NACS 2026 will provide a premier forum for advancing dialogue on the policies, market mechanisms, and financial innovations shaping the next generation of climate action in the United States, Canada, and beyond.

As in previous years, the NACS will feature hundreds of delegates from North America and beyond to exchange insights, foster collaboration, and help drive practical, market-based solutions to the climate challenge. The Summit will include high-level plenaries, technical workshops, interactive discussions, and networking opportunities focused on evolving compliance and voluntary carbon markets and emerging regulatory frameworks.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to be part of the conversations shaping North America’s climate future.
