Brussels Climate Week 2026

Built around themed days – Tech&Innovation, Energy, Industry and Urban/Nature – the conference is arranged together with the City of Brussels as well as other partners, and brings together European institutions, member states, industry, cities, investors, and innovators to shape the future of Europe’s climate-industrial transition. 

The conference offers a variety of options to learn, explore, engage, and connect. The programme includes keynotes – where one will be by EEA Executive Director, Leena Ylä-Mononen, on Energy Day – roundtable discussions, side events and an expo which showcases startups, cities, research organisations, and circular manufacturing. There will also be networking sessions where professionals and citizens can share insights and build partnership.
