PERTH, AUSTRALIA
About
Global Citizen NOW: Perth is where the agenda for global action on energy access, connectivity, and the clean energy transition will be set — aligning leaders across government, business, philanthropy, Indigenous communities, and civil society around the priorities, investments, partnerships, and commitments needed to expand reliable, affordable electricity, strengthen energy security, protect nature and create jobs across the Indo-Pacific.
Taking place October 18–20, 2026, ahead of COP31, Global Citizen NOW: Perth is more than a summit. It is where commitments are announced, investment is mobilized, partnerships are formed and practical initiatives are launched to expand reliable, affordable electricity, strengthen energy security and accelerate the industries that will power the future.
Through high-impact discussions, major announcements, investment roundtables and public-facing cultural moments, Global Citizen NOW: Perth will turn ambition into measurable action — catalyzing new partnerships and commitments across energy, health, education, nature and economic development.
