Despite growing urgency, the need for new strategies and models to accelerate climate capital deployment and advance economic resilience remains paramount. As a trusted nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank, the Milken Institute convenes local, national, and global leaders who direct investment capital and philanthropy into high-impact climate solutions and high-need areas, ensuring that funding flows to where it is needed most, in ways that are sustainable, scalable, and adaptable to shifting global and regional dynamics.
Key activity areas that we are working on to accelerate climate and sustainability outcomes include critical minerals, climate debt, effective climate narrative, and philanthropic innovation.
In the lead-up to COP30 in Brazil, the Institute is advancing climate initiatives in 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 community and investor 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 accelerate climate capital deployment.
