Sustainable Investment Forum North America 2026

The eighth edition of the Sustainable Investment Forum North America, jointly presented by Climate Action and UNEP Finance Initiative (UNEP FI), takes place during Climate Week NYC in September 2026 (Climate Week dates: September 20–27, 2026). The forum attracts 300+ investment professionals managing over USD 3 trillion in assets, representing asset owners, asset managers, development finance institutions, and impact investors. Agenda topics include building climate-resilient investment portfolios, integrating nature-related financial risks (TNFD), double materiality disclosure standards (CSRD, SFDR, ISSB), natural capital valuation and ecosystem service monetization, climate adaptation finance and resilience investment, and mobilizing institutional capital for renewable energy infrastructure and net-zero transition solutions. Expert roundtables and panel discussions feature thought leaders from BlackRock, State Street, CalPERS, and multilateral development banks examining policy mechanisms (carbon pricing, blended finance), sectoral transition strategies, and emerging climate finance instruments to unlock private capital for climate solutions at scale.
