Nature loss and climate change are no longer distant risks. Business, finance, and society all face direct consequences from these accelerating crises. With global frameworks setting a clear direction, the years leading up to 2030 are critical for translating commitments into tangible actions.

The Nature Action Dialogues provide a unique and powerful forum where business, finance and conservation leaders meet as peers to advance collaboration at the nexus of biodiversity, climate, water, and health. This is a working space to accelerate change, shape leadership, and unlock sustainable growth while halting and reversing nature loss. 

2026 Themes:

• Aligning financial flows
• Integrated solutions
• Evidence-driven decisions
• Action across scales
• Place-based nature action

Climate Week Zurich is Europe’s leading business-driven climate platform – bringing together business leaders, policymakers, researchers, creatives and innovators to co-create and scale smart climate action.

CWZ isn’t just a conference: It’s a week-long, city-wide takeover featuring hundreds of events curated for a ‘glocal’ audience. From 4–9 May 2026, Zurich will host 250+ events showcasing how we can accelerate climate impact in everyday life and business.

More than 200 partner organisations from every sector and scale have come together to move the needle on concrete and measurable solutions for climate mitigation, resilience and adaptation. We’re shaping tomorrow, together.

Building on the strong foundation laid in 2025 and past years, the 2026 Climate Weeks will continue to focus on accelerating the operationalization of decisions under the intergovernmental process into action on the ground and building momentum toward COP by facilitating targeted inputs to upcoming meetings.

In the format launched in 2025, the Climate Weeks bring together representatives of Parties and non-Party stakeholders in a global space that will combine several planned UNFCCC mandated meetings, as well as policy and high-impact dialogues, offering a unique opportunity to link the intergovernmental process and the discussions that will feed into COP with the real needs of implementation, while enabling the consolidation of activities to increase efficiency and impact.

The Climate Weeks are held twice a year in different regions, maintaining a global focus in scope and participation.  Climate weeks provide a structured yet flexible space for dialogue, capacity-building, and showcasing innovative solutions to support the intergovernmental process and urgent, inclusive, and coordinated climate action.

Africa’s forests – the backbone of climate resilience, biodiversity, and shared prosperity – are at a crossroads. Under the theme ‘From Commitment to Action: Africa’s Forest Legacy for All Forever,’ the Zámba Heritage Initiative Congress will convene government leaders, private sector actors, civil society, and development partners to accelerate action for sustainable forest management, restoration, and inclusive green growth across Africa.

The Zámba Heritage Initiative Congress will:

• Position African forests as a top priority in global climate negotiations and growth in sustainable forest management, carbon markets, and nature-based solutions.
• Launch the Zámba Heritage Action Plan, a 10-year roadmap with clear targets to place 30 million hectares under sustainable management, restore 5 million hectares of degraded land, and unlock USD 400 million in finance for sustainable forest management.
• Mobilize ambitious pledges from African governments, donors, and investors.
• Strengthen partnerships among African nations, donors, impact investors, and conservation organizations.
• Help to mainstream sustainability in African and global wood-based supply chains.

The Nature Positive Initiative gathers some of the world’s largest sustainable business and finance coalitions; standards, disclosure and targets frameworks; global conservation organizations; and science, subnational governance and Indigenous knowledge networks, to drive alignment around use of the term ‘nature positive’ and support broader, longer-term efforts to deliver nature-positive outcomes.

The Global Nature Positive Summit, organized by the Nature Positive Initiative and host country organizations, will focus on driving forward the efforts in implementing the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), which was agreed by 196 countries in 2022 with a commitment to halt and reverse nature loss by 2030.

As governments will be meeting in November 2026 in Yerevan, Armenia, at the UN Convention on Biological Diversity’s COP17 to review progress on their landmark agreement, the Global Nature Positive Summit aims at showcasing nature-positive strategies and outcomes with a particular focus on the contributions of the private sector and local governments to the GBF and its Nature Positive mission.
