Accelerating Climate Finance: What are investors prioritising?
As part of London Climate Action Week 2026, the Global Innovation Lab for Climate Finance (The Lab) and Private Infrastructure Development Group (PIDG) invite you to an invite-only, in-person panel event bringing together leading voices from across the climate finance ecosystem.
This dynamic session will convene investors spanning the concessional and commercial spectrum to share what they are actively looking to fund: offering practical insight into where climate capital is flowing today. The discussion will shed light on how public and private actors are working together to scale finance for climate solutions. The conversation will take an emerging markets perspective, and we will draw on developments across these markets to bring key themes into focus.
The session will be moderated by Barbara Buchner, CEO of Climate Policy Initiative.
Participating panel organizations include:
Allianz
International Finance Corporation (IFC)
BlackRock
Private Infrastructure Development Group (PIDG)
A more detailed agenda and speaker lineup will be shared closer to the event.
Drawing on the experience of the Global Innovation Lab for Climate Finance, an initiative that has launched over 85 innovative financial instruments and mobilized more than USD 4.4 billion, this event provides a unique opportunity to engage directly with funders shaping the future of climate investment.
PIDG brings deep experience turning early‑stage concepts into investable, climate‑aligned infrastructure. PIDG's perspective on de‑risking and crowding in private capital will anchor the conversation in real‑world examples of what it takes to move projects from idea to investment.
Following the panel, guests are invited to continue the conversation at a networking reception with drinks and light bites.
