The World Environment Summit Executive Committee has decided to hold the 6th World Environment Summit for two days, on Wednesday, June 24, and Thursday, June 25, 2026, at the International Conference Room and Multi-purpose Hall of the House of Representatives First Members' Office Building.
This time, it will be co-hosted with DEVNET International, serving as a venue for international dialogue aimed at realizing environment, peace, and a sustainable society.
The World Environment Summit was launched in February 2020, amidst restrictions on activities due to the novel coronavirus infection, with the aspiration to "bring new light to a world where human connections were severed." Since then, it has supported companies and organizations working on SDGs and has steadily progressed as an international platform for discussing global environmental issues from Japan, with a track record of participation from numerous ambassadors and politicians.

The previous 5th World Environment Summit was held on February 7, 2025, at the International Conference Room of the House of Representatives First Members' Office Building, where ambassadors, members of parliament, corporate executives, and researchers spoke, welcoming approximately 120 invited attendees to a full house. The 6th summit will build upon this foundation, featuring deeper internationality and public relevance.

The current international society faces complex challenges including environmental crises, armed conflicts, geopolitical tensions, economic instability, and the division of values. In light of this situation, the 6th World Environment Summit is preparing to issue a joint statement on peace and global environmental conservation. This is an attempt to bring together insights from private international organizations, civil society, experts, businesses, and cultural figures, from a perspective different from intergovernmental negotiations, to make recommendations that contribute to the future of humanity and the planet.
The 6th World Environment Summit aims to be an international platform that not only discusses environmental issues but also comprehensively considers the sustainability of peace, economy, education, culture, technology, and local communities, re-examining the future of society from multiple angles. Details on speakers and the program will be announced sequentially in the second press release, which is scheduled for future publication.
The world is currently facing not only an environmental crisis but also a crisis of peace.
From the standpoint of private international organizations and civil society, the 6th World Environment Summit will take a step towards solidarity instead of division, and hope instead of anxiety, centered on environmental conservation, originating from Japan.
