As climate-related physical risks intensify amid wider economic and geopolitical pressures, resilience has become a core priority for growth, competitiveness and financial stability. Mobilising capital at pace and scale for adaptation, resilience and risk reduction will be critical to protecting assets, safeguarding growth and enabling long-term value creation, and is central to the transition to a sustainable economy.

Building on momentum from the UK Leadership in Sustainable Finance: Bridging Ambition and Implementation panel convened by TheCityUK and KPMG at COP30, this session will spotlight how the UK’s financial and related professional services ecosystem is translating ambition on resilience into practical, investable outcomes.

Hosted jointly by TheCityUK and KPMG during London Climate Action Week at Reset Connect, the panel brings together senior leaders from banking, insurance, investment management and development finance. It will explore how UK-based institutions are mobilising private capital, deploying risk expertise and forging partnerships to finance climate resilience and support sustainable growth.
