Ecosperity Week 2026 will return to Singapore from 18-21 May 2026, bringing together policymakers, financiers, technology companies and sustainability leaders to examine how Asia can accelerate towards its 2030 climate targets amid rising geopolitical uncertainty and growing energy demand from AI infrastructure.
Organised by Temasek, the 12th edition of the annual conference is themed ‘Asia’s Race Towards 2030: Powered by Innovation, Driven with Intent’, reflecting what organisers describe as the need to pair technological advancement with coordinated and scalable climate action.
This year’s programme places emphasis on sustainable AI, adaptation and resilience, and climate financing — themes that intersect with water, energy and digital infrastructure development across Asia.
A major thread running through the conference is the rapid rise of AI and hyperscale data centres, and the strain they place on energy and resource systems. Discussions during the plenaries are expected to explore how AI can support decarbonisation efforts while also driving demand for more resilient and sustainable infrastructure.
“We are at a defining moment,” said Kyung-Ah Park, chief sustainability officer at Temasek. “The path to decarbonisation has become more complex amid geopolitical volatility and economic uncertainty — but the direction of travel is clear. Renewables, batteries and clean energy systems are increasingly the economic and resilient choices.”
Conference sessions on 19 and 20 May will focus on practical and commercially viable climate solutions, with conversations spanning energy security, transition finance, critical minerals and public-private collaboration. Organisers said the agenda will prioritise scalable approaches capable of delivering measurable climate outcomes across the region.
The event will also see the release of several reports examining the convergence of AI, sustainability and climate investment. These include the Ecosperity Impact Report, which will assess the platform’s long-term outcomes and role as a convenor, alongside new studies by Temasek, Standard Chartered and the Singapore Green Finance Centre on South East Asia’s ‘dual transition’, as well as a joint report with Boston Consulting Group on private capital opportunities in AI-powered climate solutions.
More than 60 partner events organised by close to 40 organisations will run alongside the main conference. Sessions will cover topics including climate adaptation, carbon markets, energy transition financing and AI-driven sustainability solutions.
Among the featured events are discussions hosted by Google on AI for climate action, climate resilience forums led by DBS, and financing-focused dialogues involving institutions such as Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and Monetary Authority of Singapore.
The conference is expected to draw regional and global leaders including Teo Chee Hean, Chairman of Temasek Holdings, Indonesia’s Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development Agus H. Yudhoyono, and executives from Brookfield Asset Management, Amundi and Google.
For the water and sustainability sectors, the conference highlights a broader shift towards systems-level climate planning, where energy, AI infrastructure, financing and resilience are becoming increasingly interconnected. The growing attention on sustainable AI infrastructure is also expected to sharpen focus on cooling efficiency, water stewardship and resource management technologies needed to support Asia’s expanding digital economy.
