A one-day summit uniting leaders from the resilience and finance worlds to unlock climate finance — from local communities to the global stage

Collaborating across the resilience and finance ecosystems to break down silos and unlock climate finance, and strengthen the conditions needed to channel investment from local to global levels

Mobilising public and private capital through global partnerships that focus on removing systemic barriers, creating the right incentives, and directing investment to the communities most at risk

Innovating with expert insights that put real-world solutions front and centre, highlighting scalable models to tackle climate risk, debt, and evolving insurance challenges

Climate impacts are accelerating, yet finance for resilience still falls far short of what is needed. At the same time, governments, regulators, investors and insurers are increasingly recognising that climate risk is financial risk – creating the opportunity to embed resilience into financial decision-making and unlock new investment.

This makes the coming year a critical moment to move from commitments to action and scale the finance needed to protect economies, communities and infrastructure from growing climate threats.

The summit will be hosted at The Brewery, a prestigious central London venue in the heart of the city. Building on the success of 2025, it will bring together senior leaders from government, business, investment and many more, with more than 700 people expected to attend.

Join us for a day of high-level dialogue and focused breakout sessions exploring key challenges in depth, alongside a flagship Presidents’ Dialogue at a pivotal moment during London Climate Action Week – bringing together leaders to address this urgent global priority.
