Capital Deployment for Global Climate and Economic Resiliency

Body

Despite growing urgency, the global climate response remains fragmented, with capital and collaboration failing to reach the regions and sectors that need them most. As a trusted nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank, the Milken Institute – working internationally across finance, philanthropy, and health – convenes local and global leaders who direct investment capital and philanthropy into high-impact climate solutions and high-need areas, ensuring that funding flows where it is needed most, in ways that are sustainable, scalable, and adaptable to shifting global and regional dynamics. Through data-driven research and impact-driven programs, we inform private sector strategy and public policy to accelerate and deliver real-world climate action.

In the lead-up to COP30 in Brazil, the Institute will take its climate initiatives to São Paulo this November with a two-day event focused on sustainability, climate finance, and investment. Through a series of curated public and private sessions, we will bring together regional and global stakeholders to elevate Latin American priorities, mobilize capital, and help shape a more inclusive and investment-ready agenda for COP30 and beyond. Looking beyond Brazil, the Institute is deepening its engagement with fellow asset owners and investors to align capital deployment with locally led solutions.
