Session Description:
In today’s rapidly evolving business and financial landscape, a profound transformation is underway. The adoption of global financial standards, coupled with innovative metrics such as nature-based and climate-related disclosures, is reshaping economic systems.
This session examines how investment firms across banking, public, multi-asset, private, and commercial markets are partnering with emerging economies, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and stakeholders managing nature-based projects. We’ll explore strategic approaches that prioritize collaboration, accountability, and inclusion, unlocking new opportunities in the transition to a more sustainable economic model.
This new era comes with a huge data requirement and a huge regulatory burden. What technologies are there to assist this and how will AI help?
A final discussion point will be how do we drive broader economic growth when banks and capital markets don’t lend to small companies.

VIP Workshop with CAA and Carbon Commons @ Reset Connect
2025-06-24 11:00 - 12:00 | ExCel London
Creation of a ‘Carbon Commons’ – Interactive workshop exploring the project to develop open-source resources and guidance for Carbon Accountants
Interactive workshop exploring the project to develop open-source resources and guidance for Carbon Accountants.
The Carbon Accounting Alliance (CAA) is hosting this interactive roundtable workshop to explore the ‘Carbon Commons’ project, a collaborative industry initiative to develop open-source resources and guidance for Carbon Accountants in partnership with Small World Consulting (SWC), Sage, Planet Mark, GoGreenExperts, Planet Positive, and the CAA Community. In this workshop we will explore and discuss two key workstreams:

Development of a Wikipedia-style platform to contain evolving best practice guidance, resources and signposting for Carbon Accounting to make best practices fully accessible and free to all.

A research project led by SWC and Sage to develop a new hybridised form of carbon emissions factors that combines and addresses the limitations of spend-based and product life cycle assessments to dramatically improve scope 3 emissions measurement.

De-Risking Investment In Climate Adaption and Resilience - Zurich Insurance Group
2025-06-26 15:00 - 18:00
2025 marks a pivotal year for advancing global climate finance. The Baku to Belém Roadmap sets out a pathway to mobilize at least $1.3 trillion annually by 2035 to support climate action in developing countries, with developed countries expected to provide or mobilize at least $300 billion per year as part of that total. While countries and businesses work to accelerate efforts on climate mitigation, there is a pressing and parallel need to scale up finance for climate adaptation, particularly for the world’s most vulnerable countries and regions facing escalating climate risks. The ultimate aim: building long-term resilience. The roundtable will bring together governments, public and private investors, policymakers, and insurance leaders for an action-oriented roundtable discussion. The group will share expertise and lessons learned drawn from initiatives seeking to de-risk investments in climate adaptation and resilience and explore new opportunities for investors and insurers to marshal resources and investments into critical emerging markets.
