UNEP FI is bringing the 19th edition of the Global Roundtable on Sustainable Finance (GRT) to London, to host one of the UN’s largest sustainable finance-focused events alongside London Climate Action Week, during the week of 22-26 June 2026, with exact dates to be confirmed soon. Next year’s theme, ‘From Risk to Resilience: Financing the Future,’ reflects the growing need across the financial industry to not only respond to global challenges but to lead with vision, integrity, and impact for a resilient future.
This high-impact platform will bring together up to 600 in-person and 1000+ online participants over 2 days to serve as a catalyst for bold leadership and pronounced action to build momentum toward a low-carbon, nature-positive and inclusive global economy. It will spotlight the voices of those driving change—from CEOs and central bankers to sustainability champions, scientists and policymakers— offering a platform to share insights, forge partnerships, and shape the future of finance.
