The 31st edition of Climate & Finance examines a landscape where climate risk has moved from marginal disclosure to the core of systemic risk and asset valuation. As African central banks link climate vulnerability to monetary stability and the EU legalizes green bond standards, the institutionalization of climate finance is accelerating globally.

However, ambition requires effective mechanisms. This edition highlights the structural shift from direct public spending to blended finance , using public capital as a credit enhancement to unlock institutional funds previously kept on the sidelines.

In this decisive turning moment, an institution’s resilience will be defined by its ability to design credit-enhanced instruments, navigate evolving standards, and quantify nature-related financial exposure.
