Nordic Climate Dialogues 2026

Nordic Climate Dialogues brings together public and private stakeholders to advance climate finance solutions in a rapidly changing global context and to explore how Nordic countries can lead through concrete action. The event will examine how catalytic finance, innovation, and collaboration can accelerate high-impact investments where they are needed most, particularly in vulnerable settings.

The dialogues centre on linking climate, development, and nature-positive finance. Discussions will consider how to scale financing for resilience and adaptation, connect climate and biodiversity investments more effectively, and turn ideas into practical, investable solutions.

The event will highlight the Nordic region’s role as a catalyst for change, drawing on its experience, values, and partnerships to support innovation and mobilise resources globally. By enabling strategic exchange, practical learning, and collaboration between Nordic actors and global partners, it aims to generate concrete outcomes and build long-term partnerships that deliver measurable impact.

The event will strengthen the visibility of globally relevant Nordic action on climate, development, and nature. It will foster new and stronger Nordic partnerships, identify practical ways to scale catalytic and nature-positive finance, and help turn dialogue into investments and measurable results.

PROGRAMME

The full-day event will be for invited guests only. However, virtual participation will be available for the high-level segment, starting at 09:30 (GMT+3), which will focus on global shifts in climate and development finance and the role of the Nordic region in this new reality.

This session will include keynote remarks, a conversation on why climate, development, and Nordic cooperation matter more than ever, and a panel discussion which will bring Nordic and global perspectives on the changing climate and development finance landscape.

If you believe the programme is relevant to you as a professional and you would like to attend the entire event in person, please get in touch with NDF.
