Applications are open for those interested in joining the Munich Climate Week 2026  set to transform the Bavarian capital into a collaborative hub for climate dialogue, innovation, and community-driven solutions. The city-wide initiative invites citizens, organizations, researchers, entrepreneurs, and policymakers to participate in a decentralized program designed to accelerate climate action through collective engagement.

Taking place across multiple venues and neighborhoods, the initiative emphasizes participation over traditional conference formats, enabling diverse voices and ideas to contribute to practical climate solutions.

About Munich Climate Week

Munich Climate Week is a large-scale civic initiative bringing together universities, companies, startups, NGOs, public institutions, and local communities through a coordinated series of events. Rather than a single conference, the program consists of more than 100 independently organized activities spread across the city.

The initiative aims to foster collaboration across sectors while strengthening networks that support climate resilience, sustainable innovation, and community participation.

Participants will have opportunities to exchange ideas, showcase projects, and engage in conversations focused on turning climate ambition into real-world impact.
