UNEP FI @ COP 30
The COP30 Global Sustainable Insurance Summit takes place on 10, 15 and 21 November 2025 at the Casa do Seguro (“House of Insurance”), just a few meters from COP30’s main hub in Belém, Brazil.
Convened by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in partnership with the Brazilian Insurance Confederation (CNseg), the Summit will highlight the ambition and action needed across the insurance, financial, regulatory and supervisory communities—and among policymakers, businesses, scientists and civil society—to accelerate and scale up a just transition to inclusive, resilient and sustainable economies.
Through high-level dialogue, flagship launches and practical examples, the Summit will demonstrate how insurers are integrating sustainability across underwriting and investment portfolios to manage risks, seize opportunities and strengthen resilience. By reaffirming the industry’s role as society’s risk manager, the “House of Insurance” at COP30 will stand as a symbol of inclusiveness, resilience, sustainability and hope.
The programme spans three days:
- 10 November 2025 – Insurability, Inclusion & Resilience Day
- 15 November 2025 – Net-Zero, Nature-Positive & Just Transition Day
- 21 November 2025 – Latin American Leadership & COP31 Day
