Building on the success of Baku Climate Action Week (BCAW) 2024 and 2025 and the legacy of
COP29, Baku Climate Action Week (BCAW) 2026 will take place from 7–11 September 2026 under the
umbrella of the UNFCCC Regional Climate Week in Baku. As a premier platform for climate dialogue,
partnerships and implementation, BCAW 2026 will bring together policymakers, business leaders,
investors, researchers, academia, civil society, youth, cities, indigenous and local communities, and
international organizations to accelerate climate action and support the implementation of the Paris
Agreement and national climate commitments.
With an international perspective and strong regional relevance, BCAW 2026 will convene a diverse
and inclusive community from Azerbaijan, the wider region and across the globe. Participants will
include government representatives, industry leaders, green technology innovators, financial
institutions, climate scientists, academic institutions, private sector organizations, NGOs, community
groups, youth organizations, urban planners, architects, infrastructure experts, and representatives
from the arts, culture and sports sectors. Together, they will exchange knowledge, strengthen
partnerships, mobilize investment and advance innovative solutions for climate-resilient, low-carbon
development.
Supporting the objectives of the UNFCCC Regional Climate Week, BCAW 2026 will provide a
collaborative platform for dialogue between governments and non-Party stakeholders while
showcasing practical solutions, innovative technologies and sustainable finance mechanisms that
accelerate mitigation, adaptation and resilience. The programme will promote regional and
international cooperation, facilitate new partnerships and investments, strengthen engagement of
youth, women, academia, civil society and local communities, advance green skills and climate
education, and champion circular economy and Zero Waste approaches as essential drivers of a just
transition and sustainable development.
