​Ethical Assembly 2026 🌍

​28 – 29 November 2026 · Lisbon · Unicorn Factory

​A two-day global gathering for people working towards a more just, sustainable and resilient future.

​Ethical Assembly is an independent climate and social justice convening platform bringing together individuals and organisations working across climate, nature, science, policy, business, finance, civil society, culture and grassroots movements committed to advancing high-impact solutions to urgent planetary issues.

​This year, we’re exploring together: How do we rebuild trust, imagination and collective action in a fractured world?

​At a time of ecological breakdown, geopolitical uncertainty, democratic pressure and growing social fragmentation, the ability to trust, connect and act together has never been more important.

​✨ Here's what to expect:

• ​🎤 70+ speakers and leading thinkers from across sectors

• ​💬 40+ sessions including keynotes, panels, workshops, debates, participatory roundtables, outdoor learning labs and more

• ​🎬 2 national documentary premieres, screened in Portugal for the first time

• ​🌿 Climate, biodiversity, democracy, geopolitics, renewable energy, regenerative food systems, ethical fashion, healthy oceans, thriving cities and beyond

• ​🎨 Art, culture, food and nourishing community experiences woven throughout the program

• ​🤝 Real conversations and unexpected connections, with plenty of space to exchange

• ​🌍 An international community, with participants from 40+ countries

• ​💡 Speakers and experts from organisations including the United Nations, World Bank, Global Renewables Alliance, Re:wild, UNESCO, European Climate Foundation, Climate-KIC, Climate Reality Project, Sea Shepherd, WWF, Ashoka, National Geographic, Extinction Rebellion, Friends of the Earth, Pulitzer Center, Harvard University and more

​🫶 Who is in the room?

​Scientists. Policymakers. Investors. NGOs. Activists. Researchers. Journalists. Entrepreneurs. Philanthropic organisations. Ecosystem builders. Community organisers. Artists. Youth.

​People working across disciplines and sectors, from established institutions to grassroots movements and emerging initiatives.

​Since 2019, Ethical Assembly has brought together 4,500+ participants, 450+ speakers and 250+ sessions from around the world.

​We keep the Assembly deliberately independent and inclusive, with no corporate sponsorship shaping the program and no paid speaking slots. Instead, we create the conditions for authentic exchange, diverse perspectives and meaningful relationships around the issues that will shape our collective future.

​If you work on climate, nature, social justice or systems change, or simply care deeply about the world we're building, there's a seat for you at the table.
