The event will bring together global and regional leaders at a time when investors are processing a deluge of new information on the risks — and opportunities — of climate change. The National Climate Risk Assessment, the National Adaptation Plan, the 2035 target, Net Zero Plan, Sector Decarbonisation plans, and more, are all massively material to investors’ performance.

Where Investors Meet Signals with Strategy
Rebecca Mikula-Wright, IGCC CEO, said:
“The IGCC Summit is the one unmissable event for any investor, corporate or government agency that needs to understand climate and its implications. It will host the most insightful speakers, the best-designed program, and a community of delegates that come together as an incredibly valuable experience.
“It’s coming at a crucial time: The first National Climate Risk Assessment has made it clear that physical climate risk is now a core financial issue for Australia. Asia’s clean energy and resilience needs are growing rapidly, and Australia has both the capital and resources to meet them.
“The Summit is about helping investors decode these signals and act with confidence — turning domestic risk into regional opportunity.”
This year’s Summit theme — Decoding the Transition — captures that challenge.
Across two days, the program will translate these concepts into actionable insights for investors — spanning investment practice, corporate engagement, and cross-border capital flows, with a strong focus on regional opportunity.
