Join Finextra Research and Responsible Risk at Sustainable Finance Live 2025 as we explore the critical intersection of sustainable finance and resilient infrastructure. This year, our focus is on accelerating the development of robust, future-proof infrastructure systems that can withstand evolving climate challenges, nature impacts and economic shifts.
Through a comprehensive agenda of expert keynotes, panel discussions, interactive workshops, and a dynamic hackathon, we will confront the obstacles and uncover the innovative solutions needed to drive investment and delivery in this vital sector.
Welcoming financial services professionals, corporates, civil engineering, public sector, technology providers, fintech industry leaders, academics, and specialists in data, space, risk, and nature, Sustainable Finance Live 2025 will showcase cutting-edge strategies and collaborative pathways.
Our shared objective is to facilitate quicker, more efficient, and cost-effective solutions for resilient infrastructure, aligning with the UK National Wealth Fund's strategic focus and broader economic growth initiatives.
The event will particularly explore:
- Financing focus: Public/private finance & the role of the pensions industry etc. Risk for the pensions industry is a barrier to capital deployment into resilient infrastructure. We will explore their needs to ensure their risk models enable capital flows into resilient infrastructure. Risk capital via philanthropy and government is key to this debate.
- Agentic AI in action: Leveraging autonomous AI to independently perform complex tasks, solve problems, and adapt to changing circumstances within infrastructure planning and finance.
- Normative accounting for nature & climate: Pioneering new accounting methodologies that integrate climate claims and natural capital valuation directly into business assets, ensuring true cost and benefit reflection.
- Nature-positive infrastructure: Examining the symbiotic relationship between natural capital and built environments, and how nature-based solutions enhance infrastructure resilience and biodiversity.
- Overcoming planning blockers: Streamlining complex planning processes by seamlessly integrating financial flows, environmental considerations, robust accounting practices, and advanced technology.
- Space & sensor data integration: Harnessing the power of space-based Earth observation and sensor data to inform, enhance, and optimise planning, monitoring, and consulting processes for resilient infrastructure projects.
