DATE AND LOCATION

The conference will take place in Santa Marta, Colombia, from April 24 to April 29, 2026. It will be structured in two main segments in order to enable the broadest possible participation of diverse stakeholders.

  • Stakeholder-led Dialogues

    These dialogues will take place from April 24 to April 27. Separate dialogue spaces will be convened for academia, civil society organizations (NGOs), the private sector, workers, subnational governments, as well as a People’s Assembly.

    Each dialogue will be led by facilitators from the respective sectors, with the accompaniment of the conference co-hosts to ensure alignment with the conference’s principles and objectives. The dialogues will focus on identifying enabling pathways for a just transition across the three thematic pillars of the conference.

  • High-Level Segment

    The High-Level Segment will take place on April 28 and 29 at the Estelar Hotel in Santa Marta. It will bring together ministers, high-level representatives from subnational governments, and spokespersons and representatives from different stakeholder groups.

We have capacity constraints at the venue. While we would like to welcome everyone, if interest exceeds the available space, participation may be subject to a registration, selection, and accreditation process. We will nevertheless make every effort to include the views of interested participants who are aligned with the objectives and principles of the Conference, through an inclusive and transparent process.
