Climate change and biodiversity loss are widely recognized as urgent global challenges, yet scaling solutions requires more than mobilizing capital.
Many projects face barriers such as uncertain revenue models, policy and market risks, limited project preparation, and difficulty allocating risks among stakeholders.
These factors can make promising climate and nature initiatives difficult to finance and invest in. Meanwhile, geopolitical tensions are reshaping energy markets, as shifts in the United States’ attitude to ESG and reduced funding from international organizations are adding pressure to an already challenging landscape.
This period of disruption calls for a fresh look at what works, where capital can have the greatest impact, and how effective solutions can be replicated.
The challenge is especially urgent in emerging markets. Many faces severe climate impacts, yet they are also among the world’s most dynamic economies. Their successful transition matters both locally and globally.
Bringing together experts from finance, business, policy and civil society, this session will explore the challenges and opportunities ahead. What can key stakeholders do to accelerate climate and nature finance?
And how can industries and sectors work together to turn promising solutions into investable opportunities at scale?
