Description

The European Climate Pact will host its annual flagship event, Together in Action 2026, this March in Brussels and online. The gathering marks a key moment in the EU climate calendar, celebrating progress while looking ahead to the next steps in Europe’s transition toward climate neutrality.

The event brings together climate ambassadors, community leaders, policymakers and citizens from across Europe. Participants will have the opportunity to engage directly with representatives of the European Commission, including Wopke Hoekstra, to discuss the future direction of EU climate policy.

Over two main days, attendees can explore a diverse programme featuring expert discussions, community led initiatives and creative breakout sessions focused on practical climate action. Exhibitions and artistic showcases will highlight innovative local projects and provide space for networking and collaboration.

In addition, ManagEnergy will be present at Together in Action 2026 with a dedicated stand. Participants will have the opportunity to meet the team, learn more about the initiative’s expert support and capacity building services, and explore how local and regional authorities and their energy agencies can strengthen their sustainable energy projects through tailored guidance and peer exchange.

On 23 March, a dedicated community day will welcome members of the European Climate Pact network for exclusive exchanges and activities. The following sessions on 24 and 25 March will be open to anyone interested in climate action, whether attending in person or online.

Places for physical attendance in Brussels are limited, and early registration is encouraged. Online participation remains available for those unable to travel, offering broader access to the programme and discussions.

Together in Action 2026 aims to strengthen collaboration across sectors and borders, reinforcing the shared commitment to building a cleaner, more resilient and climate neutral Europe.
