About the Summit

A celebration of collective action
across global south

The World Climate Readiness Summit (WCRS) 2026 is IPE Global’s flagship summit, organised in strategic partnership with Chintan Research Foundation, to advance practical, inclusive and implementation-focused, on-ground people centric climate actions. As climate risks increasingly reshape economies, communities and development priorities, the challenge is no longer only to set ambitious targets but to build the systems, institutions, financing, partnerships and innovations needed to translate ambition into action.

Anchored in IPE Global’s commitment to “Echoing the Voice of the Global South,” the Summit brings together policymakers, development partners, financial institutions, private sector leaders, researchers, innovators and civil society to exchange ideas, share experience and identify pathways towards a more climate-ready future.
