Where heads of state, senior government ministers, finance and business leaders, and civil society discuss how we supercharge effective finance for climate resilience
This one-day event will bring together stakeholders across the resilience and finance ecosystems to discuss opportunities to unlock finance for climate resilience at all levels, from the local to global.
Climate change is the most critical business and social challenge the world faces. Communities across the world are experiencing devastating climate shocks, from storms and flooding to droughts and deadly heat.
The costs of these climate impacts will only increase, and every community, industry and government needs to consider how to improve their capacity to respond to climate disasters and how to finance the significant investments required for resilience-building.
At the community level, this means keeping people safe and protecting local economies from disruption. At the international level, this includes ensuring that global financial and economic systems are resilient to climate risks.
Mobilising finance for a resilient future
Mobilising finance for climate resilience is now high on the international policy agenda, but key stakeholders from government, finance and delivery organisations rarely meet to discuss practical steps to drive this vital effort.
The summit aims to address the critical unmet need for radically scaled-up and better-structured finance for climate resilience by:
- Unlocking finance at scale: mobilising public and private capital by strengthening incentives, removing barriers and scaling investable solutions
- Showcasing what works: spotlighting practical, proven solutions, and innovation and leadership – especially from Majority World countries
- Enabling inclusive finance: aligning policy, finance and delivery to channel investment to vulnerable communities most at risk, and
- Connecting the system positioning London as a global hub: fostering collaboration, breaking down silos across sectors and presenting as a leading platform for advancing global climate resilience finance.
Bringing together expert insights and real-world solutions, the summit will help shape a stronger global financial response to escalating climate risks, rising debt and strained insurance markets.
A pivotal moment in turning ambition into delivery
This summit comes at a critical point for climate finance. Following commitments at COP29 in Baku to scale up finance to at least US$1.3 trillion per year by 2035, and with the ‘Baku to Belém Roadmap’ shaping discussions at COP30, the focus is now shifting from ambition to implementation.
The challenge is no longer just how to mobilise finance at scale, but how to ensure it reaches the countries and communities that need it most – particularly for adaptation and resilience. As momentum builds towards COP31, governments, financiers and civil society must work together to turn commitments into action, unlocking practical solutions across local, national and global levels.
This challenge is especially acute for developing economies, which must navigate rising climate risks alongside debt pressures and the need for sustainable growth.
