Climate Emerging Markets Innovative Finance Policy & Regulation Systemic Change

This session will explore how financial institutions can integrate climate and disaster risk into financial decision-making and unlock investment in resilience. Convening leaders from banks, insurers, investors and policymakers, the discussion will highlight innovative financial instruments, market practices and partnerships that can help mobilize capital and scale adaptation and resilience finance globally.


Framing this topic

This short section provides context for the event to ensure all participants, regardless of prior knowledge, are equipped to engage with the discussion.

Climate and disaster risks are increasingly affecting financial systems through rising losses, credit risks and asset valuation impacts. Yet investment in resilience remains insufficient, with an annual gap estimated at over USD 300 billion in developing countries. UNDRR and UNEP FI are working with financial institutions, insurers, regulators and corporates to integrate climate and disaster risks into financial decision-making to unlock new financing opportunities. This session will explore how financial actors can move from risk awareness to concrete investment in resilience, building on emerging guidance, innovative investment solutions and partnerships across the financial ecosystem.
