Stockport Climate And Nature Summit 2026

Join us for the Climate and Nature (CAN) Summit, a day of inspiring talks, interactive workshops and activities for all ages focused on creating a more climate and nature-friendly, resilient Stockport.

This year's summit theme is resilience. Discover practical ways to take climate and nature action, explore how climate change affects our health and wellbeing, and join conversations about what community resilience means for Stockport. Hear from local organisations and Live Well groups making a difference in their communities, connect with others, and be inspired by positive action happening across the borough.

Whether you're new to the conversation or already taking action, come along, share your ideas, and help shape a healthier and more resilient future for Stockport.

There will be vegetarian and vegan lunch provided to those attending the morning session.
