Diaries at the ready: a rundown of the year’s sustainability events 

REP has put together a list of conferences, roundtables and webinars to help you plan the next 12 months

This week alone, there are webinars about the risks of greenwashing, using AI to drive impact, and what to expect from SBTi’s new corporate standard. 

Next month, Trellis will host its GreenBiz 26 conference in Phoenix, Arizona. 

In Brussels, the European Roundtable on Climate Change and Sustainable Transition (ERCST) will run a session on leakage under the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, which can also be accessed online. 

A Greener Future will be hosted on the 24th in London – the same day as CSO Futures’ online deep-dive into the economics of net zero.

March will be a busy one for events. 

Reuters is hosting its annual responsible business conference for the US, this time in Boston. 

In London, Sustainability Mag will be running a summit devoted to net zero; Edie will have its annual green business event; the Economist will be hosting its ‘sustainability week’ event; and Ethica 26 will focus on human rights in supply chains.  

There’ll be another session from ERCST about CBAM, too, and CSO Futures will host a webinar on the ROI of climate resilience.

June 

London Climate Action Week will play host to a tonne of events between June 20th and 28th. They haven’t been announced yet, but Real Economy Progress will collate them nearer the time, so subscribe if you don’t already. 

Climate Week Prague will also be unveiling its June agenda soon.

Things will quieten down for the summer, but they come alive again in September for Climate Week NYC 2026 (events TBC), as well as conferences from Sustainability Mag in London and New York. 

In October, the Principles for Responsible Investment will hold its annual event in Amsterdam. 

There will also be Reuters’ European sustainability conference, and the Bloomberg New Energy Finance summit – both in London.    

And the last major event of the year (so far) will be COP31, which is scheduled to take place in Turkey in November.

We’ll be keeping on top of corporate sustainability events throughout 2026, so keep an eye on our homepage for a monthly calendar of key webinars, roundtables and conferences.
