Sustainable Innovation Forum 2026

The U.S. edition of the Sustainable Innovation Forum is a major convening of global climate leaders, American innovators, and local actors discussing pathways to align U.S. action with international climate commitments under the Paris Agreement and COP outcomes. The forum typically runs alongside major international climate summits (e.g., COP events) and serves as a platform for connecting state governments, municipalities, businesses, and civil society organizations demonstrating climate innovation and solutions. Sessions focus on linking high-level climate policy with on-the-ground U.S. implementation—examining how American clean technology development, community-led climate initiatives, youth-driven climate action, and subnational leadership complement global climate goals. Attendees include government officials, corporate sustainability leaders, venture capital investors in climate tech, NGO advocates, and innovators showcasing solutions in renewable energy, climate adaptation, energy efficiency, carbon removal, and nature-based climate solutions. The event strengthens U.S. participation in the global climate movement while amplifying domestic climate action.
