Indiaspora’s sixth Virtual Annual Climate Summit scheduled for April 16th/17th, 2026 will bring together global leaders from technology, policy, academia, business, and civil society to explore one of the most pressing questions of our time: Can artificial intelligence be truly net positive for the planet? As AI systemsexpand rapidly, they are creating both unprecedented opportunities for climate solutions and new environmental pressures through increased energy demand, infrastructure growth, and resource use.
This year’s summit will examine both sides of this equation: highlighting how AI can accelerate decarbonization and resilience while also addressing the climate costs and governance challenges associated with its deployment.
To ensure a truly global conversation, the Summit will be held in two convenings, Eastern Hemisphere and Western Hemisphere sessions, bringing together leaders from regions including India, the UAE, Singapore, Australia, the United States, Europe, Canada, and beyond.
Through keynote conversations and curated panels, the Summit will spotlight credible work being done around the world and explore the policies, innovations, and partnerships needed to ensure that the rapid growth of AI supports a climate-positive future.
