Regional Climate Change Conference – RCCC 2026

Theme: Resilience and Climate Change Adaptation: Building inclusive and sustainable communities

The 2nd Regional Climate Change Conference (RCCC) 2026 is dedicated to strengthening local, regional, and global capacity to respond to the accelerating impacts of climate change. Guided by the theme, “Resilience and Climate Change Adaptation: Building Inclusive and Sustainable Communities,” the conference underscores the importance of integrating scientific innovation with meaningful community participation, equitable governance, and cross-sector collaboration.

RCCC 2026 provides a distinctive platform for researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and industry leaders to share evidence, exchange good practice, and advance solutions that enable communities to anticipate, withstand, and recover from climate-related shocks. Building on the momentum of its inaugural edition, the conference seeks to deepen dialogue between the Global South and Global North, strengthen connections between research and implementation, and support the development of inclusive, actionable strategies for climate resilience.

This year’s theme reflects RCCC’s continuing commitment to convening diverse expertise, empowering locally led initiatives, and accelerating coordinated action toward a more resilient and equitable climate future.
