The Central Asia Climate Change Conference (CACCC-2026) will be held under the theme: “Climate Leadership in Central Asia: A Partnership between Government and Business.”
The conference will highlight the importance of transforming the financial commitments agreed upon at the 29th Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC (COP29) into concrete actions and will strengthen regional cooperation. CACCC‑2026 will serve as the first major regional platform for dialogue following the 30th Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC (COP30) and will focus on the transition of the region’s countries from updated national climate commitments to practical climate action.
CACCC-2026 will take place from April 22 to 24, 2026 in Astana, the Republic of Kazakhstan, within the framework of the Regional Environmental Summit (RES-2026).
Registration for both CACCC‑2026 and RES‑2026 will be conducted via the unique link at https://res2026.kz/.

A distinctive feature of CACCC-2026 will be its focus on practical results: following key sessions, joint statements, memoranda, roadmaps, and other documents are expected to be agreed and signed to strengthen regional cooperation and the practical implementation of climate initiatives in Central Asia.
The Conference is organized by the Regional Environmental Centre for Central Asia (CAREC) in partnership with the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan and international partners.
