Building on the resilience finance roundtable at the Global Partnerships Conference, this session aims to further unlock resilience investment and deliver real outcomes for people and economies in emerging markets and developing economies. 

Investors will identify decision-useful metrics and practical data sources that evidence how resilience actions affect investment performance and steer capital allocation, with the goal to embed these metrics in financial institution decision-making. Participants will share how different tools, frameworks and metrics work together across the investment cycle to inform real investment decisions and support portfolio management. 

A parallel session at the summit will focus on investable structures and transaction design. Together, these sessions form part of a sequenced effort to build consensus and carry investor-endorsed messages into upcoming milestones, including COP and the UK’s G20 presidency.
