Join 600+ Delegates in
Adelaide on 20-21 October
The Australasian Emissions Reduction (AER) Summit is Australia's premier business and climate event, the country's leading forum for carbon markets, climate investment and the net zero transition.
The AER Summit is hosted by the Carbon Market Institute, an independent, not-for-profit, member-based organisation accelerating the transition to net zero emissions.
The 2026 AER Summit will be presented as a two-day conference and gala dinner at Adelaide Convention Centre on 20-21 October 2026.
About the AER Summit
For more than a decade, CMI's Australasian Emissions Reduction Summit has been the pivotal place for leaders from government, business and the community to share insights, announce policy and debate the future of Australia's climate and carbon market agenda.
Now in its 13th year, the AER Summit is Australia's premier business and climate event, combining a world-class conference with a dynamic exhibition and an engaging program of side events. Over two days in Adelaide, more than 600 delegates will gather across keynote sessions, plenary panels, interactive workshops and high-level networking, bringing together the full value chain from heavy emitters and project developers to investors, advisers, policymakers and First Nations leaders.
The 2026 Summit arrives at a defining moment for the market. With the Safeguard Mechanism review underway, mandatory climate disclosures reshaping corporate strategy, and Australia preparing to lead COP31 negotiations alongside Pacific partners, the program will focus on the policy, investment and delivery questions that matter most: from safeguard evolution and ACCU integrity to nature repair, climate finance and the road to Türkiye.
