Description

The 2026 Innovate4Cities Conference is a pivotal global summit held in Nairobi from June 21–24, 2026. It serves as a high-level intersection for scientists, city leaders, and private innovators to translate climate research into actionable urban policy. The conference is anchored by the Global Research and Action Agenda (GRAA) and specifically aims to inform the IPCC’s upcoming Special Report on Climate Change and Cities. By focusing on the "science-policy-practice" nexus, I4C26 facilitates the co-production of knowledge, helping local governments overcome institutional barriers and scale ethical, technology-driven solutions. It emphasizes creating a "bridge" between global climate commitments (like the Paris Agreement) and the practical, ground-level implementation required in diverse urban environments.
