The climate transition demands a portfolio of solutions. For nature-based solutions (NBS), the central imperatives are scale, integrity, and interoperability across voluntary and emerging compliance systems. Approaches such as REDD+, afforestation and reforestation (ARR), biochar, regenerative agriculture, and jurisdictional models have moved beyond pilots into finance, bilateral agreements, and policy frameworks.

The GenZero Climate Summit Insights 2026: Nature, Markets, Scale, in collaboration with UNEP, will take stock of where NBS markets actually stand in 2026 by drawing on data, transactions, and policy signals. It will distinguish areas of genuine progress from those where credibility constraints, operational bottlenecks, or market frictions continue to impede action, and will focus on what must change to unlock scale.

This closed-door session will convene a group of policymakers, standards bodies, financial institutions, corporate buyers, and ecosystem partners to exchange perspectives on the evolving Transition Credits landscape. Designed as an intimate and interactive dialogue, the session aims to draw out key insights on methodologies, demand, and emerging pilot initiatives.

The Green Fuel Forward Workshop, as part of our ongoing efforts under the Green Fuel Forward (GFF) initiative, convenes corporates, airlines and ecosystem partners to advance credible and scalable sustainable aviation fuel demand across Asia-Pacific. Framed as a focused, practitioner-oriented dialogue, the workshop will aim to strengthen understanding of SAF certificates and be better positioned to engage in this emerging market – supporting the broader decarbonisation of air travel in the region.

The Energy Transition Credit Roundtable – in collaboration with Singapore’s National Climate Change Secretariat (NCCS), Kinetic Coalition (C2ES), The Rockefeller Foundation, and the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ), is an invitation-only convening, under Chatham House rules. This roundtable will highlight the progress made to date to enable the transition of the South Luzon Thermal Energy Corp. (SLTEC) coal-fired power plant, using the catalytic potential of energy transition credits (ETCs) as both a climate finance instrument and a supply chain decarbonisation tool for corporates.

The session will showcase real-world implementation of ETCs, an emerging, impact-focused asset class of high-integrity carbon credits. It will profile new and developing ETC methodologies, showcase a growing pipeline of coal transition opportunities to support broader energy and climate goals, and facilitate deep-dive discussions with government and corporate partners on the SLTEC project and the opportunity to scale coal transition projects and energy transition throughout Asia.

Beyond Binaries

The climate movement has long been framed in stark contrasts: nature or technology, emissions reduction or carbon removal, East vs West. Yet the complexity of our planetary challenge demands that we move beyond black-and-white solutions.

The GenZero Climate Summit 2026 will unpack these binaries, challenging entrenched narratives, and exploring the intersections where hybrid approaches can thrive. Together, we’ll push past polarised thinking to reimagine the full spectrum of tools available for transformative climate action.

The GenZero Executive Lunch Dialogue: Climate and Carbon Opportunities in Indonesia – in collaboration with Konservasi Indonesia and Ministry of Forestry, Republic of Indonesia, is an invitation-only gathering focused on Indonesia’s significant potential and the role of key stakeholders in scaling high-quality climate and carbon projects.

Designed to foster candid and constructive dialogue, the session will bring together policymakers, project developers, buyers, and investors to discuss emerging policy and market opportunities, buyer expectations for high-integrity credits, key considerations shaping capital deployment, and priority areas for collective action to enable projects to scale effectively.

As carbon markets evolve, the focus is shifting from ambition to implementation. Establishing the right legal, financial and regulatory architecture would be important to underpin market confidence and enable scaled climate investment. We look forward to insightful conversations on some key questions which would include: What makes a carbon project bankable and investible? Do current legal and regulatory frameworks provide adequate protection for scaling cross-border carbon investments? How can projects be structured to ensure proper risk allocation, while enabling carbon credits to be monetised and integrated into decarbonisation strategies? To what extent can greater fungibility of carbon credits across standards and regimes enhance market liquidity?

The GenZero Climate Summit Insights 2026: Legal & Accounting Forum will bring together legal, accounting, regulatory and policy experts to explore how they can work together to unlock high-integrity climate finance and to scale the carbon market.

The GenZero Executive Lunch Dialogue: European and Asian Perspectives on Energy Security and the Climate Transition, – in collaboration with Lightrock is an intimate closed-door convening of energy companies and climate technology ventures from Asia and Europe, focused on navigating shifting regulatory landscapes and identifying resilient investment pathways amid the global energy transition.

Framed to encourage open and strategic exchange, the dialogue will bring together industry leaders to discuss Europe’s evolving policy environment, sectors demonstrating investment resilience, areas of technological advantage, and opportunities for cross-regional collaboration across energy markets, renewables, sustainable fuels, batteries and broader energy supply chains, among others.

The GenZero Nature Roundtable: Approaches for Scaling Ecosystem Restoration is a closed-door convening focused on advancing credible, high-impact restoration at scale, while safeguarding ecological integrity and long-term value.

The Roundtable will examine different restoration approaches, including the use of mixed native and exotic species as an ecological and economic bridge towards achieving restoration at scale. The Roundtable will also delve into the considerations for implementing Afforestation, Reforestation and Revegetation (ARR) projects on degraded biomes while protecting natural ecosystems.

Discussions will explore perspectives from practitioners, including project developers and conservationists. These would be augmented with buyer expectations and policy signals shaping demand, as well as the guardrails needed to ensure environmental integrity and responsible capital deployment.

The GenZero Carbon Markets Roundtable is a by-invitation-only convening that brings together a carefully selected group of senior leaders and decision-makers at the forefront of voluntary carbon markets whose collective judgement will be instrumental in determining whether carbon markets can fulfil their potential as a credible and scalable mechanism for climate action. Drawing on discussions held at COP30 in Belém, Brazil, this closed-door Roundtable provides a confidential and structured forum for the kind of frank, consequential exchange that the gravity of this moment demands. Participants will examine the critical implications of the current regulatory landscape for market integrity and scale, and explore credible pathways toward restoring confidence and advancing quality standards within the voluntary carbon market.

GenZero Executive Breakfast Dialogue: Building Climate Resilience in Supply Chains and Critical Assets in collaboration with the Monetary Authority of Singapore and JPMorganChase

By invitation only, this Executive Breakfast Dialogue convenes senior leaders from financial institutions, insurance, and corporates to address one of today’s most pressing challenges: the growing physical climate risk to supply chains and critical assets, including buildings, grid infrastructure, and ports. Held under Chatham House Rules, the session will explore how organisations can navigate and manage climate risk through emerging solutions such as climate intelligence and parametric insurance, alongside the practical realities of implementation. The dialogue will also examine the broader implications of escalating physical climate risk on credit underwriting, insurance premiums, and cost of capital in an increasingly climate-exposed world.
