About this event

 

Co-hosted by CEEW, Singapore Sustainable Finance Association (SSFA), MSCI and Dalberg

As physical climate risks intensify, the challenge is shifting from recognising and assessing these risks to mobilising the finance needed to build resilience.

This closed-door roundtable will bring together senior leaders from industry, MDBs and DFIs, investors, banks and insurers to explore how capital can support climate resilience across manufacturing assets and value chains, with a particular focus on emerging markets.

The discussion will examine practical pathways for moving from risk recognition to resilience financing—identifying the investment approaches, financial mechanisms and partnerships needed to strengthen manufacturing for the decade ahead.

Bringing an Investor Lens to Physical Climate Risk

As host and knowledge partner, MSCI will bring an investor perspective grounded in its physical climate risk research.

MSCI analysis shows that around a quarter of asset-owner equity value already sits in locations exposed to severe climate hazards, underscoring the growing importance of understanding physical risk and translating that understanding into investment and financing decisions.

Join the Discussion

We would be delighted to welcome you to this invitation-only discussion during Climate Week NYC 2026.
