About I4C 2026

Innovate4Climate (I4C) is the premier annual event on carbon pricing and carbon markets. Since 2017, I4C has brought together governments, the private sector, and market leaders to support the evolution of carbon pricing and carbon markets from early design to implementation. Convened by the World Bank Group, I4C serves as a global platform for advancing credible, high-integrity carbon markets.

In 2026, I4C comes to Asia at a pivotal moment, as the focus shifts to delivery: making systems work at scale and linking them to finance.  With implementation at its core, I4C 2026 will center on a Marketplace, bringing governments into direct engagement with solution providers, investors, and market practitioners to explore practical pathways from policy to finance.
