National Climate Governance Summit
20
26
Resilience in a Hothouse World
3 - 7 August 2026 | Sasana Kijang, Kuala Lumpur | Hybrid
Overview
Location
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.

Plenary Program
Day 1 - 3 August 2026 | Day 2 - 4 August 2026
The first two days of NCGS 2026 are carefully curated to bring together powerful and influential voices from across business, finance, government, academia, civil society, and international organisations to discuss the most pressing climate governance challenges and opportunities of our time.
Through keynote addresses, panel discussions, and fireside chats, the plenary sessions aim to convene the wider community to learn, exchange perspectives, and strengthen collective understanding on issues relating to climate risks, resilience, transition strategies, governance, and accountability.
NCGS 2026 Impact Pledge
From Conversation to Climate Action
The NCGS Impact Pledge is a leadership commitment designed to ensure that participation at the NCGS 2026 leads to measurable climate action beyond the summit itself.
While participation and dialogue remain central to NCGS, we encourage you to translate ideas and insights into practical actions within your organisations, workplaces, communities, or personal lives.
As part of this initiative, the RM1,000 attendance fee is fully waived when you commit to the pledge during registration using the discount code. No upfront payment is required.

Participants included board members, C-suite executives, policymakers, regulators, investors, researchers, professionals, and students — reinforcing NCGS’ role as a multi-stakeholder platform for climate governance.
