Aligning climate risk regulation and financial inclusion for the most vulnerable

This panel aligns focuses on the role of central banks and financial regulators to advance climate finance, climate justice, inclusive finance, and the urgent need to scale adaptation for vulnerable communities. By addressing how climate risk disclosure regulation can be made more inclusive, proportionate and avoid unintended consequences, the panel contributes to building a just transition that empowers those most exposed to climate shocks. It supports COP30’s goal of unlocking climate finance for adaptation and resilience by showing how climate regulation can crowd in both public and private capital toward underserved regions and populations.

Inclusive green finance is being championed by developing and emerging economies, with leadership from central banks and regulators across developing and emerging economies. This growing policy field has also benefited from strong and visionary support from European partners, as well as Luxembourg, France, Germany and Sweden.
