The India Carbon Summit 2026 is being convened by the Indian Chamber of Food and Agriculture as a high-level national platform to bring together policymakers, financial institutions, corporates, farmer organizations, technology providers, and international stakeholders to deliberate on India's emerging carbon economy and pathways for scaling climate solutions.

As the world confronts accelerating climate change, agriculture and natural ecosystems are increasingly at the center of both vulnerability and solution. Rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and degradation of land and water resources are already impacting food security, agricultural productivity, and rural livelihoods.

India, home to nearly one-sixth of the global population and one of the largest agricultural economies, faces both significant climate risks and a unique opportunity to lead the transition toward a low-carbon economy. With its commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2070 and advancing its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), India is entering a decisive phase of climate action.

For India's large farming community, carbon markets present an opportunity to generate additional income while adopting sustainable practices that enhance long-term productivity and resilience.
