Sustainable Finance.Live 2025

In 2025, our focus was on accelerating the development of robust, future-proof infrastructure systems that could withstand evolving climate challenges, nature impacts, and economic shifts.

The event particularly explored the following key themes:

​

• Financing focus: Public/private finance & the role of the pensions industry. 

• Agentic AI in action: Leveraging autonomous AI to independently perform complex tasks, solve problems, and adapt to changing circumstances within infrastructure planning and finance.

• Normative accounting for nature & climate: Pioneering new accounting methodologies that integrated climate claims and natural capital valuation directly into business assets, ensuring true cost and benefit reflection.

• Nature-positive infrastructure: Examining the symbiotic relationship between natural capital and built environments, and how nature-based solutions enhance infrastructure resilience and biodiversity.

• Overcoming planning blockers: Streamlining complex planning processes by seamlessly integrating financial flows, environmental considerations, robust accounting practices, and advanced technology.

• Space & sensor data integration: Harnessing the power of space-based Earth observation and sensor data to inform, enhance, and optimise planning, monitoring, and consulting processes for resilient infrastructure projects.
