The 8th annual Sustainable Investment Forum Europe marked a decade since the Paris Agreement, whilst also setting the stage for the inaugural Nature Finance Forum Europe - part of our collective journey from Baku to Belém.
With over 650 leaders in attendance - from organisations such as AXA, CDPQ, Caisse des Dépôts, FRR, SEKSL, Evenlode Investments, Nordea Life and Pension, Amundi, S&P Global Ratings, Creditnature, Lombard Odier Investment Managers (LOIM), Morningstar, WeeFin, Nature Tech Collective, Finance for Biodiversity Foundation amongst other key stakeholders - the conversations reflected both urgency and optimism. We explored the realities of financing a just transition, scaling nature-based solutions, and aligning capital with long-term resilience.
The sense of momentum was clear: collaboration is not only possible - it’s essential.
Event Highlights
The Nature Finance Forum Europe main stage explored the mainstreaming of nature-related financial disclosures, pricing nature-related risks, and mobilising private capital into nature-positive investment strategies.
Our event partners showcased innovative financing mechanisms and landscape-level approaches, unlocking scalable, investable solutions across forestry, agriculture, and biodiversity-linked assets. Partners included: Amundi, Lombard Odier, S&P Global Ratings, WeeFin, Creditnature amongst many more.
Climate Action proudly hosted The Nature & Biodiversity Dinner on 28 April, supported by our sustainable wine partner, Chêne Bleu. The exclusive dinner convened 35 asset owners and industry leaders, to accelerate our collective transition towards a nature positive planet.
Interactive roundtable meetings enabled high-impact collaboration, generating actionable pathways for embedding nature risk into financial decision-making and aligning capital flows with global biodiversity goals.
Live polling suggested that two of the most critical factors for ensuring a just financial transition are innovative financial tools and strong public-private collaboration. Other polling also indicated that stronger international policy frameworks are needed to achieve the Baku to Belém climate finance goals.

At the Sustainable Investment Forum Europe, plenaries marked 10 years since the Paris Agreement, offering strategic insights on aligning finance with net-zero and nature-positive goals. Looking ahead to COP30, discussions emphasised policy innovation, climate resilience, and just transition frameworks. Industry leaders stressed the need for regulatory alignment, active stewardship, and large-scale capital mobilisation to drive measurable climate and nature impact.
The Networking Drinks Reception, supported by our sustainable wine partner Chêne Bleu, created a dynamic space for peer exchange and new alliances, reinforcing our shared ambition to accelerate sustainable capital deployment across Europe.
