SUSTAIN Festival 2026

From vulnerability to resilience: Insurable infrastructure lessons from the Pacific
 
Pacific Island countries face some of the world’s toughest conditions for developing resilient, insurable infrastructure. High exposure to natural hazards, fragmented risk management systems, and limited insurance capacity have made infrastructure projects increasingly difficult to insure and sustain.
 
This webinar explores how a project moved from problems to recommendations to implementation, transforming the Asian Development Bank’s Guide to Insurable Infrastructure in the Pacific into a practical facility designed to operate across the full infrastructure lifecycle.
 
Drawing on a multi‑year regional process involving 14 Pacific Island Countries, the session will unpack how the facility was developed, the outcomes achieved, key lessons learned, and how this model could serve as a blueprint for other regions facing similar resilience and financing challenges.

The conversation around carbon credits is rapidly shifting - from a compliance burden and necessary cost to a strategic asset that can strengthen your balance sheet, reduce future liabilities, and de-risk your Net Zero pathway.
In this webinar, we will break down Clyde & Co’s pioneering work championed by Nature Broking that enables the reframing of carbon credits from cost centres into recognisable assets. We’ll break down the commercial drivers, emerging legal frameworks, forward purchase strategies, and new models like Buyers Clubs that enable organisations to secure high integrity credits at lower risk.
Why attend?
You’ll walk away with a clear view of how leading organisations are:

• protecting themselves from rising mitigation costs and tightening standards
  
• transforming carbon credits from offsets into strategic assets
  
• using robust legal and accounting frameworks to create enterprise value
  
• positioning today’s mitigation investments as tomorrow’s competitive advantage
  

If you are a CSO, CFO, ESG executive, Sustainability Manager, or simply looking to turn sustainability into real enterprise value, this session is for you.
