The UN Global Sustainable Insurance Summit, Insuring a Resilient and Sustainable Transition, will take place on 16–17 September 2026 at the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland in Dublin, Ireland, with both in-person and online participation.

Co-organized by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and the UN Development Programme (UNDP), the Summit will bring together leaders and senior executives from insurance regulatory and supervisory authorities, insurers and reinsurers, policymakers, real economy stakeholders, academia and civil society.

Held during Ireland’s EU Presidency and Climate Finance Week Ireland, the Summit will explore how the insurance sector can address the growing insurability challenge amid rising physical climate risks, strengthen resilience and financial stability, advance transition planning, integrate nature into risk management and underwriting, and help accelerate a resilient and sustainable transition of the real economy in the lead-up to COP31 in Türkiye.

Key sessions include:

• Tackling the insurability challenge across geographies
• Scaling resilience and supporting financial stability
• Transition plans: Linking market practice, supervision and public policy
• Fireside chat: The UN Systematic Observations Financing Facility
• Integrating nature into risk management, underwriting and supervision
