About the Forum
2026 South Central Climate Resilience Forum
April 15th - 17th, 2026 | San Antonio, Texas
The 2026 South Central Climate Resilience Forum (SCCRF) will be an in-person 3-day event focused on fostering meaningful dialogue and action on climate resilience and adaptation across the region. The 2026 Forum will build upon the success of the inaugural Forum in 2024.
The Forum will:
Bring together representatives from non-profit organizations, all levels of government, community groups, the private sector, and academia from Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas.
Increase the understanding of climate-related challenges facing the region and awareness of work that is being done to enhance resilience in the region.
Provide opportunities for information exchange and network-building.
The program will include presentations and sessions on resources, research, tools, knowledge, and experiences related to climate resilience. The Forum will be held in person in order for communities, practitioners, and researchers to form deeper connections and learn from each other. No virtual option will be available due to limited capacity.
More is happening than one might think. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to hear about and/or demonstrate how your community or state is building resilience to climate-related challenges.
