IACBAM Summit 2026

Advancing CBAM through dialogue, practice and shared responsibility

The IACBAM Summit 2026 brings together policymakers, verifiers, industry leaders, service providers, and technology experts to explore how the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) can further develop into a credible, workable, and trusted system.

The International Association for the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism aims to provide a neutral space for open, equal dialogue, inviting both speakers and participants to reflect on how CBAM can continue to evolve to serve everyoneโ€™s long-term interests.

Throughout the day, speakers will share lessons learned and practical insights, which are discussed during the panel discussions, while gaining hands-on experience through a series of in-depth masterclasses covering key topics across the CBAM ecosystem.

Based on discussions and insights gathered during the Summit, IACBAM will compile a concise overview of key lessons learned to contribute to the broader CBAM dialogue.

Our ambition is simple: to move CBAM one step forward in the right direction.

Join us for a dynamic day of knowledge exchange, practical insights, and meaningful networking in the mesmerizing city of Prague.
