The ICRS Debate 2026: People Over Planet.
April 28th 2026, 2:00PM - 5:00PM
The past three years have been the warmest on record, with research showing that the world is on track for a devastating 2.6C temperature rise by 2100 (CAT). In 2024, over 10% of the world’s population was living in extreme poverty, which is defined as less than $3 USD per day (ILO). These truths beg the question: in a world of finite resources and short-term pressures, should climate remain the top global priority - or should we redirect efforts toward immediate human-centred challenges?
When push comes to shove, should sustainability leaders prioritise human welfare or climate action? Does it even matter which comes first? The ICRS Debate 2026 will shed light on this complex topic and unpack how these two priorities are both competing but also deeply intertwined.
Join us on April 28th, 2026, at the RSA in London, as we explore the interplay between human welfare and climate action.
