Delivering climate benefits through land
Land is critical for energy deployment, biodiversity, carbon storage, food security, and more. As an asset class, it often outperforms equities while supporting sustainability. How can capital allocators and land managers find, optimize, and make better use of this limited resource?

AI and Climate Capital
Trillions are earmarked for the energy transition, but deals can still take months or years to close–if at all. How can investors use AI to streamline origination, underwriting, and diligence, and accelerate their deployment into climate solutions?

The Future of Climate Exits: From M&A to New Hybrids
Every climate company faces the same question: what does the endgame look like? Traditional exits such as M&A remain the backbone, but new models like SPACs reimagined, asset holding companies, and creative carve outs are reshaping the path forward. This discussion will explore how founders, investors, and buyers can prepare for the deal structures that are defining climate’s next wave of growth.

How do we talk about climate change with the American public in 2025?
The science is clear, the stakes are high, and yet the conversation too often stalls. Together, we’ll explore the art and science of climate communication today, surfacing strategies that help move the conversation from different perspectives toward shared solutions.

Nature as an Asset
Nature is not separate from the economy. This session explores the economic tools and policy frameworks emerging to bring natural capital into decision-making, and what it means to treat ecosystems not as externalities, but as essential infrastructure for the future.

Climate Change and Trade
The flows of goods, capital, and carbon are deeply intertwined. This session unpacks the tensions between open markets and environmental protection. Participants will leave with a sharper view of the risks and opportunities at the intersection of trade and law, in a warming world.

Do the Math on Climate Risk
Climate risk is no longer theoretical; it is showing up in balance sheets, supply chains, and boardrooms. Together, we’ll explore how to put numbers to uncertainty, transform abstract scenarios into actionable insight, and understand the role of risk as both a warning signal and a map for resilience.

How Climate Intelligence Improves Due Diligence and Protects Asset Value
In a world of intensifying climate volatility, the real competitive edge lies in smarter investment decisions. This table will explore how forward-looking metrics, like return periods and site-specific hazard exposure, can: streamline due diligence, flag high-risk assets earlier, reduce consulting costs and turnaround time, justify adaptation and insurance strategies with data, align risk teams, asset managers, and boards around real exposure.
