De-Risking Investment In Climate Adaption and Resilience - Zurich Insurance Group
2025-06-26 15:00 - 18:00 (Europe/London)
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.

SME Engagement Breakfast: Shaping the Future of Sustainability Data
2026-03-04 08:30 - 10:30
📢 Calling All SMEs – We Need Your Voice!
​Small businesses across the UK are increasingly being asked to report their carbon emissions by banks, large customers, and the public sector. But current approaches are often inconsistent, confusing, and time-consuming.
​That’s why the SME Data Taskforce, a coalition of 50+ organisations across finance, business, government, and civil society, convened by B4NZ and The Broadway Initiative, has proposed the UK SME Voluntary Emissions Standard – a simple, consistent way for SMEs to report energy use and emissions. The principle is clear: create once, share many, reducing admin, unlocking green finance, and opening up contract opportunities.
​To make sure this Standard works in practice, we need your input.
​Join B4NZ and OakNorth on Tuesday 4th March, 8:30–10:30am for an informal breakfast focus group. You’ll get a walk-through of the proposed Standard and the chance to share what works, what doesn’t, and what SMEs really need. No climate or sustainability expertise required, just honest insights from real business leaders.
​Why Join?

​Influence a national approach designed to support SMEs

​Ensure the Standard reflects your business reality

​Shape a tool that could save time, open doors, and drive opportunities

​Plus – Exclusive Benefits for Attendees:

​SME Sustainability Checklist: Take home a practical tool to help you report energy use and emissions efficiently.

​Networking with Lenders: Meet representatives from OakNorth and explore opportunities to access green finance and sustainable business support.

​B4NZ Spotlight Opportunity: Opt to be featured in a B4NZ SME spotlight across our channels, showcasing your business.
