Digital technologies are rapidly reshaping the climate and energy landscape, enabling smarter systems, faster innovation, and more efficient use of resources across sectors. At the same time, deploying these tools comes with challenges, from energy use in data centres to infrastructure demands. This session will explore how organisations can harness AI, data, and digital infrastructure to deliver real climate impact while managing environmental trade-offs.

This dialogue covers where climate impacts are already hitting hardest; where mayors are actively protecting lives, infrastructure, and economies today; and where public awareness is highest but solutions are still underpowered. We will share how cities are using early warning systems and providing rapid emergency response to plan long-term for more resilient and flexible cities.
When: Wednesday, June 24, 8:00 – 11:00 BST
Where: Bain & Company, London

Most Scope 3 programs started as sustainability mandates. Finance and procurement are now stress-testing them. The question companies are wrestling with in practice — but rarely discussing openly — is whether investing capital in supplier decarbonization is an act of goodwill, a returns-positive bet, or a strategic move to lock in low-carbon supply before competitors do.
This roundtable brings together a small group of senior executives who are making these decisions now. No panels, no presentations, no polished case studies. Each participant shares a live bet, a real failure, or a hard-won lesson — and the group works through the questions that don’t yet have clean answers: How do you make the investment case to a CFO? Is low-carbon supply becoming scarce enough to treat as a procurement risk? Who owns this decision internally — and does that determine whether it gets made at all?
When: Wednesday, June 24, 15:00 – 17:30 BST

This workshop will explore the financing dimension of asset retrofitting, focusing on the mechanisms, models, and frameworks needed to unlock capital at scale for retrofit delivery across the built environment. Designed as a cross-asset class discussion, the session welcomes participants from across the built environment value chain. The session will combine short case study presentations with facilitated roundtable discussions, creating opportunities for both knowledge sharing and peer-to-peer exchange. Alongside the structured discussions, there will also be dedicated opportunities for networking among participants.
Insights and findings emerging from the session will directly inform the UNEP FI Capacity Building Series: Energy Efficiency Finance Applied, contributing practitioner perspectives to a wider programme focused on mobilising energy efficiency finance at scale.
When: Thursday, June 25, 9:00 – 10:00 BST
Where: EY, 1 More London Place

As climate and nature impacts increasingly affect margins, supply chains and the cost of capital, organisations need a clear financial articulation of the value at risk from inaction and the value created through action, expressed in C‑suite language.
Designed for senior leaders across finance, sustainability and risk, this session draws on EY’s Sustainability Value Bridge to show how organisations quantify sustainability‑related risks and opportunities and build credible value narratives for boards and investors. Through presentation, discussion and workshop, participants will explore how to strengthen prioritisation and decision‑making.

As data centre growth, AI adoption, and broad electrification accelerate, the intersection of digital infrastructure, buildings, and grid resilience is becoming a defining challenge for the energy transition. This workshop will explore how integrated system design, intelligent operations, and demand-side flexibility can help data centres and commercial buildings manage rising power demand while supporting grid reliability.
Bringing together perspectives from Carrier, hyperscalers, utilities, and investors, the session will examine how innovation across cooling, energy systems, and digital controls can reduce grid strain, improve resilience, and create scalable pathways to support growing digital and economic demand.
Central Question:
How can integrated system design, intelligent building operations, and demand-side flexibility help data centres and buildings meet surging electricity needs while strengthening grid resilience?
Speakers:
Emily Crites, Sr. Director, Sustainability, Carrier
Moderator: Ed Crooks, Vice Chair Americas and host of Energy Gang podcast - Former Financial Times Energy Editor
