Abu Dhabi Sustainable Finance Forum
Organizers: Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) - Abu Dhabi Sustainable Finance Forum
Since COP21, following the signing of the Paris Agreement, the market has recognized the need for scalable and innovative solutions to finance the decarbonization of the global economy. ADSFF - COP28 Edition will curate a cutting-edge decarbonization finance platform focused on relevant keynotes, panels, interviews and workshops, all focused on the strategies needed to unlock capital at the scale the urgency requires. The event will bring together the most relevant executives from across the global markets to converge on de-risking sustainable finance, understanding decarbonization deal structures & products, and measuring the ESG impact easily and securely. ADSFF aims to be a systemic and collaborative approach, knowing that these strategic interventions will only be successful if mindsets shift. The solutions the market co-creates require an innovative approach to financial capital allocation and risk management. The urgency is now, as only 27 years are left to achieve the 2C target. It means leveraging C- Level finance leaders decision makers, to challenge sustainable finance business models, products, investable solutions and form collaborative new finance partnerships.

FOOD, AGRICULTURE, AND WATER
Climate change is creating severe pressure and risks for the agri-food and water systems that underpin human wellbeing.
At the same time, these systems are also key contributors to climate change: one third of all human-made GHG emissions derive from agri-food systems, and 70% of fresh water consumed worldwide is used for agricultural production.
Specific food and agriculture focuses include innovation investment, regenerative agriculture, and national transformation pathways, underpinned by financing mechanisms and project preparation. Water programming will also look at freshwater restoration and conservation, infrastructure for urban water resilience, and integrated governance and management of water-food systems.

NATURE, LAND USE, AND OCEAN
The conservation, restoration, and sustainable management of nature is integral for achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement.
In seeking to transition land use and ocean systems to support climate-aligned and nature positive development, this thematic day will focus on scaling robust solutions that protect, restore and effectively manage natural ecosystems, address drivers of nature loss, empower Indigenous Peoples and local communities, and create resilient livelihoods. The day will also spotlight enabling actions that unlock new financial flows and mainstream climate-nature synergies across transition plans and reporting frameworks.
The day will additionally showcase efforts that accelerate the implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, the recently adopted agreement that provides a clear framework for halting and reversing nature loss – to help deliver a climate-safe future.
