The RACE Summit 2026

The RACE Report, in collaboration with Kings College London (KCL) and the Diverse Sustainability Initiative, bring you The RACE Summit 2026.

Join us at King's College London - Strand Campus for this annual summit filled with positive challenges, practical takeaways, connection, networking opportunities, and action-oriented workshops to create a more inclusive environmental sector.

At a time when climate justice, equity, diversity and inclusion are increasingly pivoting up and down the political agenda, the inequalities within climate spaces continue to grow. With communities most impacted by the climate crisis remaining disproportionately excluded from the conversation, this year's summit will explore how we continue communicating why this work matters and how strategic storytelling can help create action.

We’re bringing together HR professionals, CEOs and leaders in the climate space, young people entering the sector, global majority communities, campaigners, creatives, and communicators to explore how we tell the story of climate justice so that together we can connect, resonate, and create action.

This year’s summit builds on the success of the RACE Report 2025, aiming to explore different ways to communicate climate justice so that the right people listen, understand, and act.

The IES are a supporting partner of the RACE report. 

Who should attend The RACE Summit?

• Individuals with lived experience of marginalisation and underrepresentation in the sector, and allies (staff, long-service volunteers, trustees)
• Young people/students aspiring to get into the sector
• Human Resources professionals and Equity Diversity and Inclusion leads from environmental, climate, sustainability, conservation or nature organisations, and charities (staff and trustees)
• CEOs and senior leadership professionals of environmental, climate, sustainability, conservation or nature organisations, and charities (staff and trustees)

The RACE Summit builds on the work of The RACE Report, supporting the environment sector to progress racial justice and inclusion. We strongly encourage any organisation involved with these networks and initiatives to attend.
