Panaji: To strengthen collaborative action, policy alignment, and industry-led solutions for India’s transition to a net-zero economy, the International Net Zero Summit (INZS) 2026 is scheduled to be held from Jan 22 to 24 at Taj Vivanta, Panaji.“Sustainability will define the competitiveness of the Indian industry in the decade ahead. Net zero is no longer a future ambition but a present-day responsibility.

The platform is designed to explore opportunities in skills development, education, sustainability, technology, and workforce mobility.Senior govt representatives, industry captains, domain experts, and institutional leaders from central ministries, state govts, PSUs, corporates, academic institutions, and international organisations are expected to participate. The summit will also help young minds gain valuable knowledge.“The global net-zero transition requires coordinated leadership across govts, industries, finance, and academia. The International Net Zero Summit 2026 was envisioned as a truly global platform—bringing together diverse perspectives, best practices, and solutions to accelerate credible net-zero action worldwide. Our focus is to move the conversation beyond commitments towards implementation, accountability, and measurable impact, ” said Harsha Saxena, CEO of the International Institute of Corporate Sustainability and Responsibility, Goa.
