NextBillion - An Initiative of the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan

Join us for Climate + Finance, a Devex event during London Climate Action Week where government leaders, industry pioneers, funders, and philanthropists will crack the code on climate finance to build resilience and achieve a sustainable future.

The problem: Climate change is an existential threat and low- and middle-income countries are bearing the brunt of it. We need smarter, equitable finance solutions, and fast.

The solutions:

● Equity first: How to get more green where it’s needed most? We’ll tackle equitable financing for adaptation and loss and damage.
● Finance innovators: Unveiling innovative tools such as debt-for-climate swaps, climate risk insurance, prizes, and green bonds to de-risk investments in LMICs.
● Powering up clean energy: Can we finance a clean energy revolution that’s affordable for all? We’ll discuss incentives and strategies.
● Healthy planet, healthy people: Exploring financial models to fortify health systems battered by climate change.
● Collective goal on finance: Will COP29 deliver on its new finance goals? We’ll dissect the progress and chart a course for better transparency and collaboration.

Devex journalists will serve as expert guides, fostering critical conversations with key decision-makers in the climate finance landscape.

This is your chance to be part of the solution. Request to join us in person in London on June 25th or watch online on June 27th.

Time: 2:30 – 6:30 BST / 9:30 PM – 1:30 AM ET
