EU Green Week 2026

This year’s Green Week will put the spotlight on the business case for nature, demonstrating that a nature-positive economy is essential for Europe’s prosperity, resilience, and competitiveness. 

Organised by DG Environment, the conference will explore how nature can be a driver for EU citizens’ prosperity and quality of life, provide inspiration and put nature in its due place on the political agenda.  

Together with policymakers, investors, urban planners, businesses, naturalists, farmers and civil society, we will explore how nature-positive models work in practice, focusing on profitable sustainable farming, soil-health innovations, greening cities, and exciting new opportunities to reverse rural flight. 

This year’s event will offer a dynamic programme combining panel discussions, inspiration, movie night, and a dedicated startup-investor matchmaking event.  

Participant registration will open in April 2026.
