Where Climate Meets Capital

Climate Finance: Who pays? What gets funded? Who benefits? and who decides?

Trillions of dollars are now being mobilised globally for climate action, yet many of the communities facing the greatest risks struggle to access finance. From Pacific Island nations to remote Aboriginal communities and regional Australia, climate resilience raises profound questions about equity, justice and shared prosperity.

South Australia has an opportunity not only to accelerate its own transition, but to help demonstrate how climate finance can deliver benefits for people and places often left behind.

Join influential leaders from public finance, philanthropy, and private capital for a candid conversation on the future of climate finance.

Whether you're an investor, policymaker, business leader, researcher, philanthropist, community advocate or interested citizen, this forum is an opportunity to be part of the conversation shaping how South Australia finances a climate-ready future.

Moderated by Belinda Willis, Editor of InDaily, our speaker lineup features leading voices driving climate action and investment:

• Charles Yu, Regional Lead – Sustainable Finance, Asia and the Pacific, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)

• Dr Amanda Cahill, Founder of The Next Economy

• Rayne van den Berg, Chief Value Officer, Value Australia

• Sophie Doyle, CEO, Foundation SA

Closing remarks by Tessa Kelly, Director for Adaptation, Loss and Damage, COP31 Taskforce Negotiations Team

• Practical insights into the global climate finance architecture and the evolving climate finance landscape in Australia and the Pacific.

• Hear diverse perspectives from leaders working across investment, government, philanthropy and the climate sector.
