Overview
The Carbon Accounting Conference 2026 is the Carbon Accounting Alliance’s flagship annual gathering, designed to advance technical knowledge and collaboration across the carbon accounting profession. The conference focuses on helping practitioners improve the quality, consistency, and impact of greenhouse gas measurement and reporting. Hosted in the historic Senate House building in Bloomsbury, London, the event will feature keynote presentations, panel discussions, technical sessions, roundtables, clinics, and interactive formats intended to encourage dialogue and knowledge sharing. Organizers have structured the programme around three broad objectives: education, demystification of complex or controversial topics, and collaboration on key industry challenges.
Main Themes
The conference agenda spans both strategic and technical aspects of carbon accounting, with a focus on improving practice, strengthening alignment, and addressing emerging challenges across the profession. Key themes include:
