About this event
Join us for our third IIGCC Summit on Monday 22 June 2026, sponsored by S&P Global, and kickstart your London Climate Action Week with IIGCC.
Investors are operating in a time of heightened geopolitical turbulence, with policy uncertainty, energy security concerns and threats to global supply chains. So much has happened already in 2026 – at the Summit, we will seek to make sense of what this means for investors through the lens of mitigating climate-related risks and supporting the transition towards a climate resilient future.
Join us as we explore key issues and topics including the ‘age of implementation’, how systems stewardship can support the transition across the economy, and the latest innovation and emerging trends.
Curated to be both practical and informative, the morning programme will feature 10 workshops comprising five individual sessions, each repeated twice, exclusively for IIGCC members on the following topics:
- Financing nature - Policy strategies to support investment in nature markets
- Breaking down barriers to sector decarbonisation
- Physical risk data: an ocean of information, a desert of knowledge
- The investment case for a just transition in EMDEs
- Agentic AI deep dive: Enabling applications for investor climate goals (sponsored by S&P Global)
Join us at the IIGCC Summit as we set the scene for what’s likely to be the biggest London Climate Action Week yet.

Financing nature - Policy strategies to support investment in nature markets: Developed countries (the UK in particular) have been leading on developing nature investment pipelines to crowd in private finance. Building on these examples, some international organisations are now supporting EMDEs in developing their own national nature investment plans. There is an important role for investors to play in helping to co-design these plans, to simultaneously address barriers and co-create nature investment opportunities that meet the specific needs of investors. This workshop will facilitate investor discussion on ensuring these plans and opportunities are "investable".
Recommended for: All investors
-
Breaking down barriers to sector decarbonisation: Investors are increasingly engaging with stakeholders across sectors and value chains, including regulators and policymakers, to address systemic barriers to decarbonisation. This workshop explores how our work equips members to conduct systems stewardship with sector-specific insights, practical tools, and engagement frameworks to identify and unblock barriers to the transition.
Recommended for: Stewardship teams
-
The investment case for a just transition in EMDEs: The global net zero transition will not happen without a transition in EMDEs. It must also be a 'just transition' to effectively mitigate associated social and economic impacts. This is important for institutional investors as a just transition offers both investment growth opportunities as well as systemic risk mitigation. In this workshop, we will hear from investors incorporating just transition considerations into their investment strategies through NZIF, stewardship and policy advocacy.
Recommended for: Portfolio managers, stewardship teams, data providers
-
Physical risk data: an ocean of information, a desert of knowledge: Investors are keen to understand portfolio-wide or company and asset-level exposure and vulnerability to growing physical climate risks but encounter significant barriers: data availability and quality issues, and diverging views of risk. This makes it harder to identify engagement priorities, while also making qualitative engagement even more critical to fill data gaps. In this workshop, we will discuss and invite feedback on a new IIGCC engagement tool on A&R and give members an early preview of our investor expectations for physical climate risk data providers.
Recommended for: Data providers, portfolio managers, stewardship teams
-
Agentic AI deep dive: Enabling applications for investor climate goals (sponsored by S&P Global): Investors are operating in a world of escalating physical climate risks and shocks to the energy transition. The rapid evolution of AI provides an opportunity to apply new tools to these increasingly complex challenges. In this workshop, we will explore agentic AI's potential to enhance investors' overall management of climate-related risks and opportunities, including through leveraging AI for stewardship and engagement and strategic asset allocation use cases and as an enabling tool for IIGCC's Climate Resilience Investment Framework (CRIF) and the Net Zero Investment Framework (NZIF).
Recommended for: Stewardship teams, data providers, portfolio managers and asset owners
Open to approved non IIGCC members.
The event can be joined virtually from 13:25 - 17:00

With global warming now expected to surpass 1.5°C a decade earlier than anticipated, the financial system faces a pressing need to adapt to escalating climate-related financial impacts.
Investors are taking steps, supported by fast evolving framework and tools, to assess their exposure to physical climate risks, invest in resilience opportunities and integrate physical climate risk into stewardship. However, they cannot build climate resilience across the economy alone; companies, policymakers and all financial actors must address the realities of a changing climate.
In this panel discussion, we will hear about the role that the public sector must play in encouraging their economies to invest in adaptation and resilience and where private investment would be most valuable.
