THE NEW CARBON ORDER

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.

Carbon Forward Expo London, will take place between 13-15 October 2026 and celebrates its eleventh year analysing European and global compliance and voluntary carbon markets. Over three information-packed days, they will bring you leading experts, thought-provoking content, trailblazing organisations, lively discussions, and innovative thinking across the compliance, voluntary, removal, and renewable energy markets.

In 2025, Carbon Forward Expo London attracted over 20 sponsors, 100 speakers, and 500 attendees across the finance spectrum, as well as buyers, exchanges, insurers, project developers, industry and regulatory bodies, and government.

Carbon Forward will return to Singapore on 24 and 25 March 2026 for the fourth consecutive year, bringing together experts from the Asia-Pacific region to discuss ASEAN markets, nature-based solutions, international emissions trading, and much more over two stimulating days.

Following a successful launch in January 2025, Carbon Forward Middle East will return for its second edition in the UAE’s capital, Abu Dhabi, from January 14-15, 2026.

In collaboration with the World Future Energy Summit (WFES), Carbon Forward Middle East will be officially hosted under Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW) at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC).

Organised by Carbon Pulse and Redshaw Advisors, in strategic partnership with Offset8 Capital, Carbon Forward Middle East 2026 will once again bring together global and regional leaders to explore how carbon markets can catalyse climate action across the Middle East and globally.

Carbon markets remain a vital tool on the path to – and beyond – net zero, unlocking finance for both mitigation and adaptation.

As the region’s only dedicated carbon market conference, Carbon Forward Middle East 2026 will build on the momentum of its inaugural event, which convened governments, investors, financial institutions, project developers, standards bodies, law firms, ratings agencies, traders, and brokers.

By COP30, all Parties to the Paris Agreement must submit new Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) that reflect bold action for the next decade. These updated plans are a chance to unlock the benefits of a just, resilient, low-carbon future.

To accelerate momentum, the UN Secretary-General will host a Special High-Level Event on Climate Action on 24 September 2025, as a platform for leaders to present their new Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).

This event will also bring together leaders from government, business, and civil society, around thematic Solutions Dialogues, to put forward ideas to drive action across mitigation, adaptation, finance, information integrity and other critical areas, in line with the Paris Agreement and COP30 priorities.

Project Everyone is excited to announce Nature House Rio – a multi-day activation and programme of curated events bringing together communities working on climate, nature and the ocean ahead of COP30.

Located in the heart of Rio, Nature House Rio will be an inclusive, diverse, and inspiring space in which attendees can learn, challenge, and collaborate, surrounded by one of the world’s most diverse ecosystems.

As always, the venue will serve as a platform to showcase the city’s vibrant music, dance and art scene and celebrate its rich cultural heritage. Indigenous wisdom, leadership and communities will be centred throughout.

Provisional dates for Nature House Rio are November 6th– 8th (Thursday-Saturday). Over the course of 3 days, Nature House will host a curated programme of events across different thematic areas.

COMPOUNDING POLITICAL, ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL CRISES ARE RESHAPING OUR WORLD – AND THE GAP BETWEEN CLIMATE RHETORIC AND REALITY HAS NEVER BEEN WIDER.

Trust in global institutions is eroding, and skepticism is justified. The world doesn’t need more promises. It needs a new vision that confronts the realities people live with — and insists that something better is still possible.

Belém, the gateway to the Amazon, will set the stage for COP30 – a place where the stakes of the climate crisis are immediate and tangible. Against this backdrop, TED Countdown House will bring together innovators, business leaders, scientists, activists and Indigenous knowledge keepers to reimagine what’s possible. Designed to complement the official COP agenda, we’ll ground the climate conversation in lived experience, practical solutions and honest reckoning.

In a world flooded with noise, the House is tuned to what matters: substance over spectacle, outcomes over optics. Here, breakthroughs are engineered – through curated gatherings that dismantle silos, immersive workshops where ideas are stress-tested in real time, and unstructured moments that foster creativity.

Hosted by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) and the Nature Positive Initiative (NPI), the Summit will bring together global business and finance leaders to showcase credible action, bridge silos and mobilize investment for nature-positive outcomes.
