Congress of Business 2026

Congress of Business returns on 12 May 2026 during Glasgow Climate Week, showcasing meaningful climate action delivered since the city took the world stage at COP26, 5 years ago. COB turns sustainable ambition into tangible results by highlighting real stories of change from speakers by demonstrating what climate leadership looks like in practice.

Bringing together major UK businesses and leading academics, the event underscores that cities and industry are not just participants but drivers of climate transformation. Through standout initiatives and peer‑to‑peer learning, COB positions businesses as climate leaders committed to accelerating progress and resilience.

COB amplifies collective action by uniting businesses across the British Chambers of Commerce global network, fostering partnerships that deliver both global connections and local impact.
