Executive summary
On 29 May 2025, Chapter Zero UAE co-hosted the Climate Governance Symposium in partnership with INSEAD, INSEAD NAA UAE, and the INSEAD International Directors Network. The event convened board directors, finance leaders, and sustainability experts to explore how corporate boards must evolve to lead in the era of climate risk.
The symposium emphasised the need for climate-literate boards, credible transition planning, and an understanding of sustainable finance tools—from green bonds to blended finance. Through engaging sessions with experts from INSEAD, Bain & Company, and the development finance world, participants gained actionable insights to support better climate governance, strategic decision-making, and alignment with evolving regulatory expectations in the UAE and globally.
