Building on previous CARE conferences, CARE2026 marks the third gathering in the series, an international platform dedicated to advancing climate adaptation and resilience through interdisciplinary dialogue and practical engagement. The conference brings together governments, scientists, infrastructure operators, financial leaders, insurers, industry players, and community representatives to examine how climate risks cascade across interconnected systems, and how risk intelligence can guide preparedness, inform investment, strengthen decision-making, and enable coordinated adaptation across sectors.

CARE2026 is deliberately structured to reflect how climate risk unfolds in reality, from scientific insight to cascading system stress, and from system stress to societal and economic choices. It aims to strengthen collective understanding, clarify trade-offs, and support more informed and coordinated pathways toward climate adaptation.
