Join us on January 14, 2026 as we discuss the potential that impact investing brings to energy transition efforts that focus on financial returns as well as social and environmental impacts. Impacting investing in the energy sector is witnessing a surge due to global focus on climate change adaptation and renewable energy. Case in point, global investment in clean energy is projected to reach $3.3 trillion dollars in 2025, $2.2 trillion allocated to renewables, nuclear, smart grids and storage.

Learn about what's involved in impact investing and how it can support the various people and organizations within the Energy Sector who are especially focused on achieving competitive returns and fostering social and environmental benefits. If you're working in emerging markets, this session may be of special interest. Countries like Brazil, Nigeria and Indonesia, for instance, are seeing burgeoning investments driven by the need for sustainable development.
