National Climate Governance Summit 2026 (NCGS 2026) | Resilience in a Hothouse World
Overview
The NCGS 2026 is Climate Governance Malaysia’s flagship annual convening platform, bringing together leaders across business, government, finance, academia, civil society, and youth to advance climate governance and accelerate meaningful climate action.
Now in its fourth year, NCGS continues to grow as one of Malaysia’s leading climate governance platforms — convening strategic conversations, practical solutions, and cross-sector collaboration.
Taking place from 3–7 August 2026 at Sasana Kijang, Kuala Lumpur, this year’s theme: “ Resilience in a Hothouse World ” reflects the urgent need for organisations, institutions, and communities to move beyond commitments towards credible, governance-led adaptation and transition strategies in an increasingly volatile climate landscape.
Introducing the NCGS Impact Pledge | Your Commitment to Climate Action
NCGS 2026 Impact Pledge: From Conversation to Climate Action
The NCGS Impact Pledge is a leadership commitment designed to encourage climate action beyond the summit itself.
While participation and dialogue remain central to NCGS, participants are encouraged to translate ideas and insights into practical actions within their organisations, workplaces, communities, or personal lives.
Participants who commit to the pledge during registration using the designated code will be granted access to NCGS 2026 at no cost, in place of the standard RM1,000 registration fee.
The pledge is voluntary and honour-based. Participants who complete their pledge will receive an NCGS Impact Pledge Certificate in recognition of their commitment. Participants who choose not to complete the pledge will not be subject to any payment obligation.
