In an era of geopolitical volatility and accelerating climate risk, business has a critical role to play in upholding the principles – accountability, transparency and rule of law – that underpin both economic and climate resilience.
The FT Climate & Impact Summit 2026 brings together 370+ senior decision-makers shaping the future of the global economy. From capital allocation to climate risk, FT journalists, policymakers, investors and CEOs will lead independent, decision-grade discussions on where resilience and opportunity are emerging next.
We are excited to bring Exeter’s world-leading climate and nature scientists into that conversation. On Wednesday at the summit, Dr Martina Egedusevic (Nature Impact Fellow, University of Exeter) will be speaking at the ‘Nature as Infrastructure’ panel, exploring how nature-based solutions, stronger evidence, and financial innovations can improve funding for nature.
Taking place just days before London Climate Week, the event gives leaders a briefing before the UK’s landmark climate moment, before the action continues at the Exeter Climate Forum.
