Description
This March, we’re heading back to Brussels for the European Climate Pact’s annual flagship event.
Together in Action 2026 is an annual celebration to mark Europe’s progress in tackling climate change and building a cleaner, more resilient Union for the future.
Taking place in Brussels and online, the packed Together in Action 2026 event programme has something for everyone, from exploring the future of climate policy with seasoned experts to being inspired by community-led sustainability initiatives.
This event is an opportunity to:
- hear from the European Commission, including Commissioner Wopke Hoekstra, about the future of EU climate policy
- join inspiring sessions from members of the European Climate Pact community on how they’re leading the charge against climate change
- explore exhibitions, artistic showcases and creative breakout sessions on climate action and meet like-minded people from across Europe
- The sessions on 24 and 25 March will be open to everyone interested in climate action. Members of the European Climate Pact community are exclusively invited to join a special community day on 23 March. Visit the Together in Action 2026 page to see the programme highlights.
