As we look forward to COP30 in Brazil, we are pleased to announce our upcoming IIF Workshop on Climate Resilience and Adaptation Finance, hosted by UBS and UBS BB on Thursday November 6 in São Paulo.
Featuring conversations with policymakers, expert panel discussions, and real-world case studies, this invitation-only workshop will be focused on practical solutions for advancing climate adaptation and resilience and the role of private financial institutions, corporates, and governments in supporting capital flows towards these critical investments. We look forward to diving into a frank discussion on how financial institutions are working with their clients to surface adaptation investment opportunities, the evolving financial instrument and capital markets toolkit (including sustainable debt), and the types of policy and regulatory frameworks that are needed to support both private and public-sector investment in resilience.
This event will be held under Chatham House Rule and closed to the press.
If you have any questions, please contact Serena Chen at ([email protected]).
