NCGS 2026 Impact Pledge
From Conversation to Climate Action
The NCGS Impact Pledge was introduced as a leadership commitment to encourage climate action beyond the Summit itself.
While participation and dialogue were central to NCGS 2026, the Impact Pledge encouraged participants to turn ideas and insights from the Summit into practical action within their organisations, workplaces, communities, or personal lives.
The Summit may have ended, but the commitment continues. We invite you to take the next step and commit to an action that contributes to a more resilient future.
The pledge is voluntary and honour-based, allowing each participant to choose a meaningful climate action aligned with their own role, capacity and circumstances. Participants who complete their commitment will receive an NCGS Impact Pledge Certificate in recognition of their contribution.
Make your commitment and carry the spirit of NCGS 2026 forward.
