Financial institutions are increasingly accountable not just for the emissions they report, but for the real-world impact of the capital they deploy. Moving beyond measurement, they are developing strategies to manage and reduce the carbon footprint of their financed activities while balancing risk, returns and client obligations.

This panel brings together leaders from pensions, insurance and development finance to explore how institutions are integrating climate considerations into investment decisions, setting science-based targets and implementing practical approaches to decarbonisation. Panellists will share insights on frameworks, governance and cross-sector collaboration that enable financial actors to drive meaningful emissions reductions at scale.
