NC Climate Week & Summit 2026: Meet the Moment
The science is clear. The solutions exist. The momentum is building. Now is the time to meet the moment.
NC Climate Week and Summit is North Carolina’s statewide gathering for turning climate ambition into action. Hosted by EarthShare NC, it brings together the people, companies, and organizations shaping North Carolina’s environmental future at a moment when the gaps between what we know and what we’re doing have never been more urgent to close.
Across a week of virtual workshops culminating in an in-person one-day Summit featuring panels with leaders from Wells Fargo, Trane, NASCAR, government and community stakeholders, we tackle the issues defining this moment, from AI and data centers to rising energy costs and community resilience, and challenge every participant to leave with a commitment to act.
Because meeting this moment is work none of us can do alone.
